EFT Server and DMZ Gateway must be installed on a separate computers
The Server service runs under a user account, which must have full administrative rights to the folder in which you install EFT Server. With administrative rights, the service can save all your settings. If the service does not have administrative rights, you will lose settings and user accounts whenever you restart the EFT Server service, and you will need to reset permissions on the computer on which the Server service is running. |
