• Open a sample project (sample projects are located at %public%\ABBYY\FlexiCapture\10\Samples for Microsoft
Windows Vista and later versions or %allusersprofile%\Application Data\ABBYY\FlexiCapture\10\Samples for
other version of Microsoft Windows).
• Open your own project created in an earlier version of ABBYY FlexiCapture.
• Create a new project and import a batch created in FormReader 6.5 DE or EE.
For successful operation, it is essential the project should have at least one correct attached Document Definition
for which export settings are specified.
Then upload the project to the Application Server (FileÆUpload Project to Server…).
Note: When uploading a local project to the Application Server, a new project which is similar to the local one is created on the
server. A newly created project contains the same Document Definitions, batch types, import sources and project settings. Work-
ing batches with images are not copied from a local project to the server. Test batches (they are created for a particular user) are
available to the user both from the local and from the server project.
Creating new users
The way of creating new users varies depending on the authentication type which is supposed to be used for these users (see How
to choose the uesr authentication type).
Note: If standard IIS authentication is used, FlexiCapture requires only user’s Windows-login to authenticate the user. If authenti-
cation by FlexiCapture means is used (the Authentication Module feature must be installed), the user password must be also
stored in the system (password hash is stored in FlexiCapture database).
In general, login of the account that will be authenticated by means of FlexiCapture can be arbitrary; in particular, it may coincide
with user’s Windows-login. In this case, the user will use the same login, but different passwords to access the system using dif-
ferent authentication types (for standard IIS authentication, the password specified in Windows is used; for authentication by
means of FlexiCapture, the password specified in FlexiCapture is used). FlexiCapture identifies users by their logins, so in terms
of FlexiCapture, it will be the same user regardless of the authentication method.
Thus, if FlexiCapture knows only user’s login, the user can be authenticated by standard IIS authentication only. In case, user
password is specified in FlexiCapture, the user can be authenticated by means of FlexiCapture Authentication Module. To enable
authentication by means of FlexiCapture for the user, a temporary password can be created for this user account. For this, on the
User Permissions page of the Administration and Monitoring Console click Reset Password.
Adding users manually
To add users manually, the FlexiCapture administrator must do the following actions:
• Open Administration and Monitoring Console, go the Permissions –> Users page and click New User.
• On the page that opens, specify the login of the new user and click Save.
• If the Authentication Module feature is installed, a message will be displayed saying that the user is assigned a tem-
porary password password.
A user added in this way:
- can be authenticated using standard IIS authentication, if the user’s login in the system matches user’s Windows login. In
this case, the Windows password must be used for authentication. If the user is not a user of the domain where the Application
Server is located, the pass-through authentication can be used.
- can be authenticated by means of FlexiCapture authentication module, if the Authentication Module feature is installed. In
this case, a login and a temporary password password specified by the administrator are used for authentication (the password
must be changed at first logon to the web-station or on the page http://<server name>/Login).
Import from Active Directory
This method of adding users is usually used when the system is installed in the domain and users of the system are employees
of the organization whose accounts are stored in Active Directory.
To import users from Active Directory, the FlexiCapture administrator should open the Administration and Monitoring
Console and on the Permissions –> Users page click the Import button.
Both individual users and existing user groups can
be imported.
Users added in this way can be authenticated by IIS standard authentication using their Windows logins.
If the Authentication Module feature is installed and you want to enable user authentication by means of FlexiCapture authen-
tication module, go to the editing user permissions and roles page and set a temporary password for each user using the Reset
Password button.
