Control calling applications and their access to Contract Manager interfaces

If the ContractManager!UseAuthentication deployment parameter is set to True during installation, the authentication and authorization mechanism is enabled for the Contract Manager. It only grants applications access to authorized SOAP calls after they are properly authenticated.

This mechanism uses HTTP basic authentication. This means that you should only use authentication and authorization in combination with an encrypted connection. KCM expects preemptive authentication.

When a calling application executes SOAP calls on the Contract Manager, it must supply an application name and the key. You can manage calling applications using the ManageCM tool.

For detailed information on how to do so, see the Kofax Communications Manager Installation Guide.
