PMA.slidebox requires PMA.core to serve slides:

• PMA.core reads slides (typically whole slide images or WSIs for short) and handles user access.
• PMA.slidebox runs on top of PMA.core and is responsible for content presentation.

A couple of tasks need to be performed to make this interaction go smooth:

Once you have the service account and necessary root-directories defined, you go to the PMA.slidebox administrative panel to point it to PMA.core, and tell it which service account to use.

If you happen to want to use a PMA.core account that has the administrative flag set to True, you'll get a warning. It's not a requirement as such that you use a non-administrative account, but it is strongly recommended that you don't.
