Message Connector failed to process a corrupt email and did not poll the remaining emails.

The corrupt email is flagged as bad content, and the remaining emails are polled.

When a corrupt email is received:

  • The email is flagged as "bad content" and imported as a '.bin' attachment along with the original email.
  • If Document Conversion is not configured, the error email is imported into TotalAgility.
  • If Document Conversion is enabled, the error email conversion fails because the BIN file cannot be converted to PDF/TIFF.

Field Request closed in this fix pack

2148977: Support for Kofax Import Connector to import folders from Azure NetApps.

Approach

  • If the Import Connector is installed on-premises and trying to import from the Azure NetApps, the Azure VPN client needs to be installed on the machine where Import Connector is installed and then connect to the Azure NetApps.
  • If the Import Connector is installed on an Azure VM, make sure that the VM is in the same region as the Azure NetApps volume. Connect to the NetApp volume from the Azure VM using the Azure Active Directory Domain service.

Limitations due to SMB protocol

  • The Windows SMB client does not support multiple credentials to the same server. It means that an Azure Storage Account can’t be used for multiple tenants.
  • The Windows SMB client stores the session/credentials in the user session. This is a security issue when SMB is used to access Azure NetApps storage because access to the storage account is possible without user/password checks.

Recommendation

Due to the limitations of the SMB protocol, it is recommended to use Kofax Import Connector Azure File Share via RESTful service for folder import.
