While standard file system access to the OnBase Disk Groups is secure, DDS provides an additional layer of security:
-
A secure port employs a single access point for OnBase file retrieval.
-
DDS file servers can be kept behind a firewall. The firewall only needs access to a secure port, avoiding UNC traffic.
Note:Distributed services require unrestricted bidirectional network access for User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) between the client and server on the specified port.
-
To protect documents from being intercepted in a data stream, the full contents of the data stream is encrypted.
-
When Windows permissions are configured properly, users cannot browse to files using Windows Explorer.
