By default, OnBase uses the local disk on the client workstation as an external location for file storage. As the local disk is local to the server in a virtualization environment and multiple users may access the server using the same client workstation, default OnBase configuration may not function as intended. For example, if OnBase is configured to use the default local disk in a virtualization environment, the following issues may be encountered:
-
Sensitive information may be compromised when stored in a location accessed by all users.
-
OnBase cannot distinguish which files belong to which user.
-
Files are only saved on the server to which the user is currently connected and may not be accessible when the user connects to a different server in a server farm.
-
Files that save user-specified settings impose those settings on all users.
OnBase using the local disk on a server can be represented by the following example:
