Setting Up User Accounts
Kofax Front-Office Server and SharePoint use separate security systems. To send documents to
SharePoint, you need to log on with a valid SharePoint user account as follows:
 Users sending documents through Kofax Front-Office Server Web Client are prompted to
enter an SharePoint 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 SharePoint user name
and password for the SharePoint destination type. The credentials are used as defaults
when creating shortcuts for SharePoint 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 SharePoint
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.
