Protect the Temporary Directory
PDF Export writes temporary files to the temporary directory. These temporary files frequently include the contents of files that PDF Export is processing, including decrypted parts of encrypted files. Sensitive information is therefore exposed in the temporary directory, so it is important that only users who are permitted to access this information can access the temporary directory.
By default, PDF Export uses the system temporary directory. Many other programs might use this directory, so OpenText recommends that you configure PDF Export to use another location, TempFilePath
parameter in the KVExportOOPOptions
section of the formats_e.ini
file
You can then protect the configured temporary directory by setting directory permissions to allow access only to sufficiently privileged users.
