Question

Is there any way i can log out a change users when using WNA configuration ?
For example, in a certain moment i am logged in as userA.domain.com, then i want to log in as a differnet user, say, userB.domain.com, but when i tryed to log off, and login again the user is always userA.domain.com.
Is there any way a can logout and the log in again as user userB ??

I'm not sure whether you want the server simply to run as some other user other than "administrator", or if you want it to execute as a different user account for each client connection.
If what you want is the server simply to run as another account, you need to start it differently. For example, on WinNT/WinXP, it is possible to run the server as a Windows service. A service can be configured to run under any user account you choose, which should solve your problem. As for how to run the server as a Windows service, I recommend using the freeware here:

I was able to use this successfully without a lot of trouble. If your environment is Linux etc. I am sure there is a way to change the account under which a process is run, but I don't know enough about it to tell you how.
However, if what you want is for the server to operate as a different user for each client conection, I think that would be much trickier. You would probably need to spawn a different process for each connection using JNI to write some platform-specific intefacing to accomplish the account switching.
