Description
Normally, a service account is established for OHS. This is because a privileged account is not desirable and the server is designed to run for long uninterrupted periods of time. The SA or Web Manager will need password access to OHS to restart the service in the event of an emergency as OHS is not to restart automatically after an unscheduled interruption. If the password is not entrusted to an SA or web manager the ability to ensure the availability of OHS is compromised.
