Using a Domain Service 
Account (DSA) 

Domain Service Accounts (DSAs) allow System Administrators to create a class of cross-domain 
accounts that can be used to manage and maintain certain services on the computer network. DSAs 

are generally used to enhance security by isolating the privileges for an application. 

With Xerox

®

 Print Advisor, DSAs are recommended when a Proxy Server is part of your organization’s 

IT configuration. 

Using a Domain Service Account 

If a Domain Service Account is used for Print Advisor, the DSA must be able to communicate to the 
hosted Print Advisor Application Server over port 443 SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). 

Note:

 Set up the Domain Service Account PRIOR to starting the Xerox

®

 Print Advisor installation. 

Altering the account information after installation is difficult and time-consuming if you have 

installed Xerox

®

 Print Advisor on all of your organization’s workstations. 

Securing the Domain Service Account 

The Domain Service Account should be secured with a Group Policy in accordance with your security 
policies for Service Accounts, or Microsoft’s Service Account Guidelines available at 

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads

. 

If your organization does not currently have security policies in place for locking down service accounts, 
we recommend at a minimum that you apply the following settings: 

  Set Password to Never Expire. 
  Use complexity for passwords (minimum 8 characters; include special characters).
