Settings - Credentials Tab

 

This area indicates whether iHomeServer is installed in Desktop mode or Windows Service mode.  Please refer to this topic for further information on the difference between these two modes.

 

This area shows the current credentials that are used to run iTunes.  If you are running iHomeServer in Desktop mode then these credentials will be read-only and will match the details of the currently logged in user.

 

If you are running iHomeServer in Windows Service mode then a 'Change...' button will be visible and you can modify the user under which the iHomeServer Windows Service will be run.  iHomeServer will run iTunes under a specified user account.  The account that is entered will be used to spawn the iTunes process and therefore will use any preferences that have been configured within iTunes for that user.  It is important to log in interactively at least once to the server and start iTunes manually in order to accept the Apple Terms and Conditions, otherwise, iHomeServer will be unable to automatically start iTunes.
