Managing documents and working together in the digital workplace: Documentum, M-Files, Alfresco, SharePoint, Microsoft Teams and web platforms. Our consultants write about content management, collaboration, integration and the compliance questions that come with them.
Some months ago at a customer, we started the rollout of some security baselines on a new application (not yet productive). One of the changes was to enforce the use of TLSv1.2 on all our Documentum Clients like D2/D2-Config (4.5, 4.6, 4.7), DA (7.2, 7.3), aso… TLSv1.2 was already enabled before that but there was also a fallback to TLSv1.1…
The Trusted Content Services is a pack of features that you can enable/purchase to gain more security for your Content Server. The main key features are listed in this documentation: https://www.emc.com/collateral/software/data-sheet/h3138-security-ds.pdf In our case, we wanted to benefit from the Repository Encryption feature: Repository Encryption: Documentum TCS prevents intruders from accessing information even if they obtain unauthorized access to repository…
We had a strange behavior by a customer regarding the indexing queue. We used to have two IA configured and we uninstalled one. I figured out that we still had indexing queue requests for the old index agent while it was totally uninstalled. I checked the following objects to see if the agent was still configured somewhere: dm_fulltext_index, dm_ftengine_config, dm_ftindex_agent_config.…
In the last two blogs I posted, I mentioned that I was working on silent installations with CS 7.3 (in HA). The “issue” (it’s more like a common mistake) I will describe in this blog is linked to the HA installation. You can face that using the silent or GUI installation, it doesn’t matter. To replicate this behavior, it’s pretty simple:…
As mentioned in this blog, I was recently installing a new 7.3 P05 environment. Actually, this environment was in HA and it was the first silent installation of a Remote Content Server for me. I already created a lot of blogs related to issues with the CS 7.3 but since this was my first RCS 7.3 installation, I was kind…
Beginning of this month, I was building a new environment in 7.3 P05 (using silent installation but this isn’t relevant here) and I found a strange behaviour from the dmqdocbroker so I wanted to share that. You will see below an error message “Input has special characters …”. This is specific to the CS 7.3 for which we opened a…
As you might now if you are following our blogs (see this one for example), we are using Alfresco Community Edition internally for some years now and we also have a few customers using it. Today, I will present you a small issue I faced with Alfresco which wasn’t able to display the content of a few – very specific…
Beginning of this year, we were doing our first silent installations of the new Documentum stack. I already created a few blogs to talk about some issues with CS 7.3 and xPlore 1.6. This time, I will talk about xCP 2.3 and in particular the installation on a CS 7.3. The Patch of xCP as well as the patch for…
A few years ago, I was working on a Documentum project and one of the tasks was to setup all components in SSL. I already published a lot of blogs on this subject but there is one I wanted to do but never really took the time to publish it. In this blog, I will therefore talk about Documentum Administrator…
Here we are, already, at the end of my series of blogs about the “Change Password”. This blog will, as already mentioned in a previous one, talk about the Dsearch and xDB passwords. I could have created a lot more blogs in this series but I already presented the most important and most interesting ones so this blog will be…
In this serie, I completed the passwords I wanted to talk about on the Content Server. Therefore in this blog, I will talk about the only Database Account that is relevant for Documentum: the Database Schema Owner. Since there are a few steps to be done on the Content Server, I’m just doing everything from there… In this blog, I…
Just like for the JBoss Admin password (here), this blog will be for both Content Servers and Full Text Servers. I will provide commands below to change the passwords of the Java KeyStore for the Java Method Server (JMS) and Full Text Servers (Dsearch/IndexAgent). Again, JKS aren’t only used in the scope of Documentum so if you are here for…
