Important
This is the minimum hardware requirement for IQService with an average processing load when used with one source. The requirement increases with the request processing load and number of sources it supports.

Service Account

The service account defined in the Identity Security Cloud source that connects to IQService is used for provisioning operations, aggregation for Active Directory, terminal services and Skype attributes, and serverless binding for the target system.

Note
IQService User registered with IQService is used for Client Authentication.

However, the account defined as the IQService Log On as account in Windows is used for before and after scripts that use PowerShell. If the source service account is not used, the PowerShell session opens under the IQService service account credentials.

To use gMSA as a service account for Active Directory sources, refer to Configuring IQService to Use gMSA as a Service Account for Active Directory for more information.
