Security requirements for temporary folders

Note:

The following article on the Veritas Support website provides comprehensive information on the security requirements:

https://www.veritas.com/docs/100014060

On both Compliance Accelerator server and client computers, Compliance Accelerator makes occasional use of various folders for temporary storage. To protect against unauthorized access to these folders, which can contain sensitive data, Compliance Accelerator checks access to them on startup and periodically thereafter. If the security check fails on the Compliance Accelerator server, the Enterprise Vault Accelerator Manager service stops and an error event is recorded in the Veritas Enterprise Vault event log. If the security check fails on a Compliance Accelerator client computer, the user must choose to rerun the check or close the client.

On server computers, Compliance Accelerator checks the security of these folders:

  • The temporary folder of the user who is running the Enterprise Vault Accelerator Manager service.

  • The folder that you specify as the "ECM Temporary Storage Area" through the Reviewing configuration options in the Compliance Accelerator client. By default, this folder is the Windows %TEMP% folder.

On client computers, Compliance Accelerator checks the security of the temporary folder that belongs to the user who is running the client.

In both cases, Compliance Accelerator considers the following to be authorized users:

  • Members of the Built-in groups Administrators, Backup Operators, Domain Administrators, and System Operators

  • The user to whom the temporary folder belongs

  • The Local System account
