Proxy Permissions

The permission set required for a proxy service account differs depending on how you're using a Recast Proxy.

If you haven't set up the required proxy permissions prior to installing Recast Management Server or Recast Proxy, you can skip the installer's Configuration Manager Configuration page by removing any information from the text fields, selecting Test ConfigMgr Connection and the Skip ConfigMgr Verification checkbox, and clicking Next.
