Kofax Document Exchange Server Installation Guide for WebLogic

Securing the install.properties File
The install.properties file contains plain text user names and passwords for the:
„
Kofax Document Exchange administrator
„
WebLogic administration console
„
Nodemanager logon
„
Oracle database
The file is only used during the installation process, so to maintain security after installation it can
be deleted. However, the file can be reused when you add additional machines to your Kofax
Document Exchange Server cluster. Reusing the file can save time and be more reliable than

a network password manager or other safe storage option to secure the file.
