Creating and Using a Least-Privileged SQL Account for Web Conferencing

By default, the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing installer suggests using the SQL built-in sa administrator account as the SQL Server user name. Often, a strong password for the sa account is sufficiently secure to protect your system from unauthorized access. However, if you do not want to continue to use a SQL account that has full administration rights after the installation is complete, you can create a SQL account with minimal privileges that is dedicated to Web Conferencing use, and configure the Web Conferencing server to use this account.

To create and use a least-privileged SQL account, do the following tasks in the order presented:

1.Creating a Least-Privileged SQL Account for Web Conferencing, page 2-14

2.Updating SQL Account Access from the MeetingPlace Gateway Configurations Utility, page 2-15

Creating a Least-Privileged SQL Account for Web Conferencing

Caution If you choose to create a SQL account that is dedicated to Web Conferencing use, ensure that it meets all the specified database role requirements in this procedure. Failure to do so can cause a database connection failure between Web Conferencing and the SQL Server and result in a total outage or broken features.

Note If Cisco TAC determines that your SQL account does not meet requirements, you will be asked to reconfigure your SQL account and to delete any existing Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing database so that a new database can be created once the account problem is remedied.

To Create a Least-Privileged SQL Account for Web Conferencing

Step 1 Open the SQL Server Enterprise Manager and create a new login:

a.On the Start menu, click Programs > SQL Server 2000 > Enterprise Manager.

b.Click a server group to expand it, then click the name of a server.
