Yes you can...
- the LocalSystem account is special, one of the special things about it
being that it cannot access Windows network resources.
- if you need Tomcat to access Windows network resources, such as
"shares", then you need to run Tomcat under another user-id. If the
system is part of a Domain, and if to access network resources you need
to be logged in the Domain, then you need a valid Windows Domain user-id
(and password) in order to run Tomcat as such a user-id.
(You can test with your own id).
- when you have such a user-id/password, then go into the "Services"
applet (My computer...,Manage.., Services and Applications,.. Services,
right-click on Tomcat in the right panel, choose Properties, and the
"Logon as" tab.
Then change the user-id "Local System" to the Domain user-id above,
enter its password. The account will then automatically receive the
permission to "run as a service" (it will tell you).
- Now if you start the Tomcat service, it will run as that user, with
the normal environment of that user.
You just have to make sure that all the files/directories Tomcat needs
are accessible by the user-id you are running Tomcat under.
A tip, if this is for a "persistent" installation : the user-id under
which Tomcat runs should have a password that does not "age" (aka does
not need to be changed every so often), because if it does, then after a
while your Tomcat will not start anymore.
