Run Octopus with a Managed Service Account

Set up the Octopus Deploy Windows service to run as a Managed Service Account. Learn the requirements and follow the steps to create and apply the MSA.

You can run the Octopus Server using a Managed Service Account (MSA):

  1. Install the Octopus Server and make sure it is running correctly using one of the built-in Windows service accounts or a custom account.
  2. Reconfigure the Octopus Server Windows service to use the MSA, either manually using the Service snap-in, or using sc.exe config "OctopusDeploy" obj= Domain\Username$.
  3. Restart the Octopus Server Windows service.
