Features

Worker Account

Royal Server is running as a Windows Service. By default it is installed using the LOCAL SYSTEM account.

For managing remote servers (e.g. querying the list of Windows Services from a managed server), Royal Server is using a Worker Account. This account has to have network access.

The Worker Account should be Local Administrator and in domain-joined scenarios a member of the Domain Users group on the Domain Controller.

Note

The Windows service account can be changed, but it is required that the chosen account has administrative rights. If you plan to work with domain accounts, an account needs to be specified that has proper rights to enumerate users on the domain.

IP Address

Specify the IP Address Royal Server is using for accepting requests. By default, the unspecified address (0.0.0.0) is assigned .i.e it listens on all available IP4 addresses.

Port

Specify the port, Royal Server is using for accepting requests.

Use Compression

This setting enables (HTTP) compression on Royal Server for Management Endpoint Component. Enabling this is recommended if you have enough CPU on the client and the servers side and want reduce the network load.

HTTPS/SSL

Royal Server uses communication via HTTPs/SSL to encrypt communication. This is achieved by creating a self-signed SSL certificate during the installation process. This certificate is named "RoyalServer". It can be changed to your own certificate if needed. The selected certificate can be deleted and exported (to be used on a second Royal Server installation in a load balanced scenario).

Note

Until Royal Server V3 and below it was possible to deactivate HTTPS/SSL encryption, as of Royal Server V4 this is not possible anymore, only secure connections are supported.
