System Requirements
Before configuring Microsoft Exchange and Kofax Front-Office Server, do the following:
„
Install Kofax Front-Office Server.
„
Make sure that the Microsoft Exchange server is connected to a network that is available to
Kofax Front-Office Server.
Setting Up User Accounts
Kofax Front-Office Server and Microsoft Exchange use separate security systems. To send
documents to Microsoft Exchange, you need to log on with a valid Microsoft Exchange user
account as follows:
„
Users sending documents through Kofax Front-Office Server Web Client are prompted to
enter a Microsoft Exchange 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 a Microsoft Exchange user
name and password for the Microsoft Exchange destination type. The credentials are used
as defaults when creating shortcuts for Microsoft Exchange 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 a Microsoft
Exchange 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.
