Security aspects for data storage
During the installation you can select the directory for data storage.
Kofax Search and Matching Server maintains three subdirectories for storing
database related files. The
Databases
directory contains the necessary files for all configured fuzzy indexes. The
Upload
directory contains database text files that were uploaded from users through the
Administration application. The
Log
folder contains log files and its access is not restricted.
By default, the access to the
Databases
and the
Uploads
subdirectories is restricted to the
NETWORK SERVICE
user. It is sufficient to grant the read and write access to these directories to only the service
account that runs the
Kofax Search and Matching Server. If the user account that is running the
Kofax Search and Matching Server is changed to a different user then the access
permissions to these two directories must be adjusted accordingly.
