 Authentication Level

To enable security for an application, you must set an authentication level other than None. The authentication level tells COM how much authentication protection is required, and it can range from authenticating the client at the first method call to encrypting parameter states fully. To set an application's authentication level:

1. On the Applications property page in Dcomcnfg.exe, select the application and click the Properties button (or double-click the selected application).
2. On the General page, select an authentication level other than (None) from the Authentication Level list box.
3. To continue setting machine properties, click the Apply button. The new authentication levels will be applied.
4. When complete, click OK to apply the changes and exit Dcomcnfg.exe.

Location

Determine the computer location on which the application will run. Choose to run it on the machine where the data is located, on the machine used to set the location, or on another specified machine, using these steps:

1. In Dcomcnfg, click the Application tab.
2. Click the application. Click the Properties button (or double-click the selected application).
3. On the Location page, select one or more check boxes that correspond to locations where you want the application to run.
4. If more than one check box is enabled, COM uses the first one that applies. If Dcomcnfg is being run on the server machine, always select Run Application On This Computer.
5. To continue setting machine properties, click the Apply button. The new authentication levels will be applied.
6. When complete, click OK to apply the changes and exit Dcomcnfg.exe.
