5. If you have installed the Authentication Module and authentication by means of ABBYY FlexiCapture has not
been used for this database before, a temporary password password is assigned to the user under whose
account the Administration and Monitoring Console was started.
Uploading a project to the server
For ABBYY FlexiCapture Distributed operators to work on the same project(s) together, the project(s) must be up-
loaded to the Application Server. To upload a project to the server, the user must have the role of administrator of the
system.
To upload a project to the server, open the Project Setup Station and do one of the following:
 Create a new project (select File -> New project…). Create or import at least one Document Definition
(select Project -> Document Definitions).
 Open a sample project (sample projects are located at %public%\ABBYY\FlexiCapture\11.0\Samples
for Microsoft Windows Vista and later versions or %allusersprofile%\Application Da-
ta\ABBYY\FlexiCapture\11.0\Samples for other version of Microsoft Windows).
 Open your own project created in an earlier version of ABBYY FlexiCapture. The project will be automat-
ically converted to the format used by the new versions of ABBYY FlexiCapture. You will no longer be
able to use this project in your earlier version of ABBYY FlexiCapture. Once a project is updated, the
Document Definitions lose their “published” status. To publish the Document Definitions, on the Project
Setup Station, select Project -> Document Definitions, then select the Document Definitions to publish
and click Publish.
 Create a new project and import a batch created in FormReader 6.5 DE or EE.
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 (select File -> Upload Project to Server…).
Note: When uploading a local project to the Application Server, a new project 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. Working batches with images are not copied from a local project to the server. Test batches (they are creat-
ed 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 user authentication type).
Note: If standard IIS authentication is used, ABBYY FlexiCapture requires only a user’s Windows login to authenticate
the user. If authentication by means of FlexiCapture is used (the Authentication Module feature must be installed), the
user password must be also stored in the system (the password hash is stored in the 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 the user’s Windows login. In this case, the user will use the same login, but different passwords to
access the system using different authentication types (for standard IIS authentication, the password specified in Win-
dows 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 au-
thentication method.
Thus, if FlexiCapture knows only a user’s login, the user can be authenticated by standard IIS authentication only. If a
user password is specified in FlexiCapture, the user can be authenticated by means of the FlexiCapture Authentica-
tion Module. To enable authentication by means of FlexiCapture for a 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:
 Open the Administration and Monitoring Console, go to 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 as-
signed a temporary password password.
