Enterprise Vault™ Installing and Configuring

Securing data locations

It is important to secure the locations that are to be used for Enterprise Vault data. Only authorized accounts should have access to the network shares and folders that are to be used for indexes and vault store partitions. Typically you implement access control on these locations using security ACLs.

If you use a network share for Enterprise Vault data, then you must ensure that the Vault Service account has full access to the network share on the remote server. A recommended way to manage access to Enterprise Vault data locations on network shares is to create a domain security group for this purpose. This approach avoids the need to propagate new permissions to all subfolders and files if you change the Vault Service account.
