SCSFileDownloadServlet fails: User 'guest' does not have sufficient priv.

Question

Hi,
We have an ADF application that is using SCSFileDownloadServlet to get documents from UCM. We added the servlet in web.xml and we are using this link to download the documents: /getfile?adapterName=our_adapter_name&dDocName=document12345&dID=12345
The issue is that sometimes it works but sometimes it fails throwing this message in the logs:
Event generated by user 'guest' at host 'CIS'. Unable to download 'COR-ER-421722'. User 'guest' does not have sufficient privileges. [ Details ]
An error has occurred. The stack trace below shows more information.
!csUserEventMessage,guest,CIS!$!csUnableToDownload,COR-ER-421722!csUserInsufficientAccess,guest
intradoc.common.ServiceException: !csUnableToDownload,COR-ER-421722!csUserInsufficientAccess,guest

Is it possible to set a user/password to this servlet so it is able to download the documents everytime?
Thanks,
Josue

Hi go9189,
According to your description, you come across the error that User 'guest' does not have permission to run DBCC checkprimaryfile. This issue could happen when the login account doesn't have CREATE DATABASE, CREATE ANY DATABASE,
or ALTER ANY DATABASE permission in SQL Server instance, or that the login account has no access to the mdf and ldf files when attaching database, so SQL Server recognize the login account as a "Guest".
To solve the issue, you could pay attention to the points below.
1. Ensure that the login account has at least CREATE DATABASE, CREATE ANY DATABASE, or ALTER ANY DATABASE permission. You could grant the fixed server role 'dbcreator' or 'sysadmin' to the login account following the steps below.
a. Connect to SQL Server instance with the login account which has sysadmin fix server role.
b. Expand the folder 'Security', right click the login, and select Properties.
c. In the Server Roles tab, check the checkbox for 'dbcreator' or 'sysadmin'.
2. Make sure that the the login account has full control permission on the mdf and ldf files. For how to grant the login account with full control permission on the mdf and ldf files, please refer to the steps in the following article:
