Repository with hidden path

Laserfiche
Updated April 21, 2017
asked on April 21, 2017

Currently we're trying to set up a fail over for a client and they already have there repository on a network drive. The repository has a hidden UNC path though. I was wondering if its acceptable to use a hidden UNC path as a location for the repository and if it will cause any issues or not.

That's how local administrators on a machine access drives on that machines remotely.

As long the Laserfiche server's service user has rights to the location, it can be anywhere. If you want to specify it with the "$" notation, then the service account user has to be a local administrator on that machine. This is fine, but it would give it more rights than strictly necessary.

You may want to accomplish this instead by actually sharing the location and restricting the users who can access it and their rights.

A path that you need to access by using drive letter$. An example could be like \\Laserfiche\e$\repository.
