6

Kofax, Inc.

Note the following:

„

Because these IBM Content Manager 8.2 and 8.3 files are not supported on 64-bit Windows

system, the IBM Content Manager connector cannot be used when Kofax Front-Office

Server is installed on a 64-bit Windows system.

„

When installing the II4C connector, be sure to use the correct connection ID, which may be

different from the administrator’s ID. If the wrong connection ID is specified, users will not

be able to connect through Kofax Front-Office Server.

Configuring IBM Content Manager

This section provides basic procedures for using IBM Content Manager System Administration

Client to set up IBM Content Manager to use with Kofax Front-Office Server. Refer to the IBM

Content Manager documentation for complete instructions.

Setting Up User Accounts

Kofax Front-Office Server and IBM Content Manager use separate security systems. To send

documents to IBM Content Manager, you need to log on with a valid IBM Content Manager user

account as follows:

„

Users sending documents through Kofax Front-Office Server Web Client are prompted to

enter an IBM Content Manager user name and account when they expand the list of

destinations. Once they have logged on successfully, the credentials are saved.

„

Administrators setting up global and group shortcuts can save an IBM Content Manager

user name and password for the IBM Content Manager destination type. The credentials

are used as defaults when creating shortcuts for IBM Content Manager destinations.

Administrators can override the defaults by assigning different user accounts to individual

shortcuts.

After the credentials have been saved, users or administrators are not prompted for an IBM

Content Manager user name and password unless they were changed.

Refer to the Help for Kofax Front-Office Server Web Client and Kofax Front-Office Server

Administration Console for instructions.

Creating Kofax Front-Office Server User Accounts in IBM Content Manager
