Assigning Permissions to Clients Using Speech Engine Services

Assigning Permissions to Clients Using Speech Engine Services

Access to computers running Speech Engine Services (SES)—even by Telephony Application Services (TAS)—is restricted for security reasons.

Use the Speech Services Security tab of the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in for Microsoft Speech Server (MSS) to assign read access permissions to clients using SES.

Note  If TAS and SES are running on the same computer, this procedure is not necessary for TAS.

To assign permissions for clients using SES

  1. Open the MMC Administration console. (For instructions, see Administering Speech Server Using MMC.)

  2. In the console tree, expand the applicable group.

  3. In the details pane, double-click the computer running SES to open the SES properties page.

  4. Click the Speech Services Security tab.

  5. Next to Assign access permission, click Assign.

  6. On the Security tab for Access.txt Properties, click Add.

  7. Click Object Types, select the Computers check box, and then click OK.

  8. In the Enter the object names to select field, do one of the following:

    • For computers running TAS in a domain, enter DomainName\ComputerName.

    • For multimodal clients, enter the domain user account or local user account of the user who will be running the MSS multimodal client application. You can also add a group if you have a large number of multimodal clients.

    • For computers running TAS in a workgroup, enter the MSS_User account.

  9. Click Check Names, and then click OK.

  10. Verify that the account has only the Read permission selected in the Allow column, and then click OK.

If the application that the client serves contains inline grammars, an addi6/1/2005tional permission must be assigned. See Assigning Access to Clients Sending Inline Grammars.

Inline grammars are considered a security risk because their content cannot be verified by using the Trusted Sites setting. See Adding or Removing a Trusted Site.

Remarks

After access is initially defined, you can use Replicate Settings to copy the settings from one SES computer to another. See Replicating Speech Engine Services Settings.
