TIBCO GridServer® 7.1.0

# GridServer Engine

GridServer Engines come in two variants: Windows Engines and UNIX Engines.

| • | The Windows Engine is packaged as an MSI installer. It can be manually installed or network installed using a tool such as SMS.

| • | UNIX Engines are packaged as `tar.gz` archives.

## Security Considerations

On the Windows platform, Engines and Managers run as services owned by a user specified during installation.

To prevent unauthorized users from accessing files in the Engine’s directory tree, the Windows system administrator can set up the Engine directory to

| • | Not inherit permission from the parent directory and

| • | Grant full access to the built-in `SYSTEM` and `SERVICE` users but not grant access to any other users

On UNIX platforms, Engines and Managers install with the file permissions of the user that installs them. That same user must start the Engines and Managers. For this reason, choose a Manager port above 1024.

For directions on installing Engines, see Windows Engine Installation, UNIX Engine Installation and Enabling Engine Daemon Authentication.
