Configuring Kofax Front-Office Server
Edit and copy the necessary files to configure Kofax Front-Office Server for FileNet.
X To configure Kofax Front-Office Server for FileNet
1
Copy WcmApiConfig.properties from the \Resources\setup folder to the
\Avalin\jboss\server\avalin\conf folder where Kofax Front-Office Server is installed.
2
Open WcmApiConfig.properties in a text editor. Modify the following lines, and then
save and close the file:
RemoteServerUrl=http://server:port/ApplicationEngine/xcmisasoap.dll
RemoteServerUploadUrl=http://server:port/ApplicationEngine/docContent.dll
RemoteServerDownloadUrl=http://server:port/ApplicationEngine/
docContent.dll
credentialsprotection=Clear
Where server is the IP address or host name and port is the port number of the FileNet
Content Engine server.
For the credentialsprotection property, specify which option is used for encrypting
passwords. Use the default, Clear, unless you have configured FileNet to use Symmetric.
Refer to the FileNet documentation for information about these options.
For example, if the host name of the FileNet Content Engine server is fnserver, the port is
8008, and credentialsprotection is Clear, you would modify the file as follows.
RemoteServerUrl=http://fnserver:8008/ApplicationEngine/xcmisasoap.dll
RemoteServerUploadUrl=http://fnserver:8008/ApplicationEngine/
docContent.dll
RemoteServerDownloadUrl=http://fnserver:8008/ApplicationEngine/
docContent.dll
credentialsprotection=Clear
Important
Make sure that there are no extra spaces at the end of each line. The FileNet
client software interprets the extra spaces as part of the URL, which can cause connection
errors.

From the same \Resources\setup folder, copy rs.connector.filenet.properties to the \conf
folder indicated in step 1. Modify the following properties, and then save and close the
file:
folder.option
default.folder

Deploy RSModuleConnectorFileNet35.ear: Copy the file from the \Resources\setup
folder to the \Avalin\jboss\server\avalin\deploy folder where Kofax Front-Office
Server is installed.
