Allowing Enterprise Vault to communicate with Discovery Accelerator through the Windows firewall

You must configure the Windows firewall on the Discovery Accelerator server to permit Enterprise Vault to communicate with Discovery Accelerator through it. Certain interactions between the Enterprise Vault server and the Discovery Accelerator server require unrestricted communication. You can allow Enterprise Vault to communicate with Discovery Accelerator through the Windows firewall by adding the Accelerator service process to the exceptions list for the firewall.

You must be logged on to the computer as an administrator to complete this procedure.

To allow Enterprise Vault to communicate with Discovery Accelerator through the Windows firewall

  1. In Control Panel, click System and Security, and then click Windows Firewall.
  2. Click Allow a program or feature through Windows Firewall.
  3. Click Change settings, and then click Allow another program.
  4. Click Browse, and then browse to the Discovery Accelerator program folder (typically, C:\Program Files (x86)\Enterprise Vault Business Accelerator).
  5. Click AcceleratorService.exe, and then click Open.
  6. Click Add, and then click OK.
