BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise 2017 SP1 Administrator's Guide

Indexing securely

If your Meridian server uses the Indexing Service instead of Windows Search, then for the content index update task to succeed, it is critical that the user account used to run AMFTFilter.exe have access to all folders in the vault. If not, documents that reside in folders that AMFTFilter.exe cannot access will not be indexed and users will not be able to search on content in these folders. The user account must also have full access to the file system on the computer where AMFTFilter.exe runs. The program will copy the document content (stream) files to the local disk before it filters the files.

For these reasons, we recommend that you configure the task to run under the local SYSTEM account (no password required), which will filter all documents in the vault regardless of the vault security. If this is not permissible under your organization’s security policy, choose an account that:

• Is a member of the local Administrators group
• Has read access to the vaults' stream folders located at C:\BC-Meridian Vaults\<VaultName>
• Full access to the file system on the computer where the AMFTFilter.exe is run.
