ID: 0929 Title: windows agent: now able to include and execute additional local and plugin scripts as different user Component: Checks & Agents Level: 2 Class: New Feature Version: 1.2.5i3 In the <tt>[local]</tt> and <tt>[plugin]</tt> sections the new option <tt>include</tt> has been introduced. With this option you can configure additional local and plugin directories, which should get parsed. You can also configure the the scripts in the given directories should be executed as a different user. <br><br> Example configuration:<br> F+:check_mk.ini [plugin] # The scripts in the following folder are executed as user \\ab include \\ab = C:\users\ab\plugins # The scripts in the following folder are executed without any changes to the user permission include - = C:\scripts\plugin F-: <b>Important:</b> Keep in mind that the agent needs the permission to run scripts as other user. Internally it uses the windows command <tt>runas /User:</tt> which prompts for a password if the windows agent has no permission to change to this user.
