The following parameters must be specified:
  • The address of the Laserfiche server
  • The name of the Laserfiche repository to be used
  • The username and password for the Laserfiche account under which documents will be uploaded.
    If you leave the username and password empty, the documents will be uploaded using the Windows user account that is running the uploading process. The account under which the uploading process runs depends on how it is started: if the upload is started by a Processing Station, it will run under the same account that is running the Processing Station, and if the upload was started by a user, the uploading process will run under the account which the user used to log in to the ABBYY FlexiCapture station where he/she started the upload.
Please be aware that if you use an XML file to specify export settings, the password for the Laserfiche account will be included in this file for everyone to see. See Using a script to specify export settings, Using an XML file to specify export settings.
The account must have sufficient privileges allowing users to add new documents to the repository. To assign such privileges to a user, do the following:
  1. Open the Laserfiche Administration Console and log in to the repository using an administrator account.
  2. In the layout pane on the left, navigate to the Users and Groups node and select Repository Users.
  3. From the user list, select a user whose account details are used to export documents and open the account properties.
  4. In the General tab, make sure that the Only allow read-only access (Manage Trustees privilege bypasses this setting) checkbox is not checked.

  5. If the user is assigned to a group, open the settings for that group and make sure that the Only allow read-only access (Manage Trustees privilege bypasses this setting) checkbox is not checked in the General tab.

  7. Select Access Rights… from the repository context menu.
