Virus protection recommendations1
This section describes the recommended procedures for
protecting your DigiPath WS server from virus contamination.
Protecting DigiPath WS from virus contamination1
Xerox takes special precautions to ensure the software is
shipped free from computer virus contamination. It is strongly
recommended that you invest in a virus detection software
application to protect your DigiPath WS server from viruses.
NOTE: Virus protection software can interfere with the DigiPath
E
WS application, in particular Microsoft IIS. You should ensure
that the virus protection software you choose does not interfere
with your DigiPath WS server.
Computer viruses are best detected by virus detection and
control application software that is accepted by the PC industry.
E
E
Some of the virus detection and control applications available to
and widely-used by the PC industry include:
•Norton Anti-Virus by Symantec
•McAfee VirusScan by Network Associates, Inc.
NOTE: To ensure maximum protection from new viruses,
update or upgrade your virus detection software frequently.
It is strongly recommended that you follow these guidelines to
keep your DigiPath WS server decontaminated:
•On a regular basis (at least weekly), run virus detection
software on all DigiPath WS servers.
•In the event you find a vir us on a DigiPath WS server, delete
the infected file using Document Library or DigiPath WS.
Then, recover the file via restore. For more information on
restoring files, refer to Chapter 6, Backup and restore of this
guide.
NOTE: This is to protect your data in the event of corruption
during the course of the virus removal.
You can then remove the virus using the procedures supplied

E
unless the server has a specified network domain.
•http://<server IP address>/
For example, if the server name is apple, the domain name is
orchard, and the server IP address is 111.22.33.44, then the
URL for the DigiPath WS home page would be either of the
following:
•http://apple.orchard/
•http://111.22.33.44/
As another example, if the server name is apple, the se rver IP
address is 111.22.33.44, and there is no domain name, then the
URL for the DigiPath WS home page would be either of the
following:
•http://apple/
•http://111.22.33.44/

Installing a security certificate2
A security certificate enables client server authentication
encryption using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) 3.0. Encryption
provides a secure method to transmit sensitive data, such as
credit card information, across the Internet. This provides the
customer an added level of security when sending information
such as credit card numbers, during a DigiPath WS job
submission.
NOTE: Using an SSL certificate increases the security of your
E
documents and data, but decreases the server performance.
The security certificate is purchased from a third party vendor
and installed on the DigiPath WS server.
The following sections provide detailed instructions for installing
a security certificate by obtaining the security certificate,
generating the ce rtifica te signing r equest (CS R) and key pai r file,
backing up the CSR and key pair file, and submitting the key
information to the vendor.
Obtaining the security certificate2
There are many SSL products, av ailable from vendors such as
Verisign and GTE Cybertrust. Refer to Table 2-2 for the security
certificat e vendor and t heir web site.
NOTE: DigiPath WS does not require any particular SSL

DIGIPATH 4.0 WEB SERVICES SERVER ADMINISTRATOR GUIDE3-1
ONLINE LIBRARYMANAGEMENTXEROX DIGIPATH PRODUCTION SOFTWARE
Understanding the Online Library3
The Online Library in DigiPath WS displays the content of all
Document Library cabinets. Document Library cabinets display
as top-level folders (i.e., directories) in the Online Library.
Folders within Document Li brar y cab i net s di splay a s sub- fo l ders
in the Online Libra r y. The Online Library directory structure is
similar to the Wi ndows directory structure pertaining to its’
directories and folders.
A MainCollection cabinet is required in DigiPath WS for user job
submission and uploading documents to the DigiPath WS server.
Within the MainCollection, you can add folders and documents.
A folder provides a place to organize documents according to
categories that are appropriate for your requirements, such as
subject, author, customer, and so on.
Using folders also enables you to provide access to documents,
without giving users information about the actual location of the
documents on your DigiPath WS server.
All documents in folders must reside on the same hardware (for
example, if your MainCollection cabinet resides on a RAID, all
documents that you want to include in folders within the
MainCollection must also re si de on you r RA ID).
Managing folders3
Managing folders involves creating, deleting, assi gning user
access to, and populating the folders with documents and URLs.
Managing the folders in the Online Library may be performed at
the WS server or from a DigiPath WS client workstation.
NOTE: When managing folders:
E
•Adding and popu lati ng fo lder s requi res Read /Write access to
the parent folder.
•Assigning access to folders and deleting folders requires
Read/Write/Assign access to the parent folder.
3-2DIGIPATH 4.0 WEB SERVICES SERVER ADMINISTRATOR GUIDE
XEROX DIGIPATH PRODUCTION SOFTWAREONLINE LIBRARYMANAGEMENT
Setting up folders can be the responsibility of the WS user
administrator, or a trusted user with both Collections Access
permission and Read/Write access to the MainColle ction, or any
other DigiPath cabinets you want to add and manage folders.
However, users with Read/Write access to a folder can create
sub-folders within the parent folder and manage these
sub-folders directly.
It is strongly recommended that you set up the folder tree
structure on the DigiPath WS sever and then po pul a te the
folders with documents and URLs. A folder tree structure easily
facilitates users to locate documents, either through browsing
through folders, or by searching a folder branch. Normally,
administrators create folders immediately after installation, and
then users add folders as needed.
NOTE: As the WS user administrator, you can also add folders
E
from Document Library, by creating folders in the MainCollection
cabinet. You or your users can also add folders using the
DigiPath WS software, as long as you have the Collections
Access permission and Read/Write access rights to the
MainCollection cabi ne t, or any other Digi Pa th cabi n et in whic h
you want to add folders.
B
CAUTION
It is possible to delete or rename the MainCollection cabinet
using Document Library. However, your DigiPath WS software
becomes unusable if this happens.

You can add a new folder to the MainCollection or any DigiPath
cabinet in the Onl ine Librar y in which you h ave access to on your

E
and Collections Access to add new folders in the Online Library.
The WS User Administrator can give you Read/Write/Assign
access to the MainCollection, or any other DigiPath cabinet in
the Online Library which you want to add folders.
When a folder is added to the Online Library:
•it assumes the users and the acce ss rights of its pa rent fo lder

Specifying viewing options4
The View Configuration page is used to specify the viewing
options on your DigiPath WS server to de fine how documen ts on
your server are displayed when a user views a document.
You have to define viewing options because many document
types are not readily viewable via the web. The conversion
options allow you to create web-r eady files for use o n y our
DigiPath WS server.
NOTE: DigiPath WS uses the option s on the View Configura tion
E
page when the Document Conver sion process i s running.
When setting document view ing options, you should co nsider the
following factors:
•Are your file types mostly images, or mostly text? If the files
are mostly text, then you can se t the resolution settin gs lower.
•What is the storage capacity of your server? If you have a lot
of space, then the fact that JPEG files are larger becomes
less important.
•What is the server processing speed? If you have a fast
processor, then the display rate is less important.
•How many users have you created on your server? If you
have many use r s (more than 100), then the file size and the
resolution settings are more important, especially when
documents are viewed and downloaded frequently.
•How many print requests do you expect to m anage in a day?
If there are many print requests, then the file size and
resolution settings are more critical for the overall
performance of the server.
4-18DIGIPATH 4.0 WEB SERVICES SERVER ADMINISTRATOR GUIDE
XEROX DIGIPATH PRODUCTION SOFTWARESYSTEMADMINISTRATION
Higher resolution settings generally mean that the file size is
larger, and that the image quality is better. However, the display
rate and download rate is slower for larger files.

conversion for viewing options.

4. Select the [Enabled] or [Di sable d] optio n to enabl e or disab le
the Dynamic Conversion function in DigiPath WS.
When Dynamic Conversion is enabl ed, the DigiPath WS
server prompts user s to convert a documen t, page by pag e. If
Dynamic Conversion is not enab le d, user s cann ot vie w a
document that has not been conve rt ed via Do cumen t Li br a ry
or the DigiPath WS Document Conv ersion.
NOTE: For most DigiPath WS servers, the Dynamic
E
Conversion option is not recommended. Document
conversion takes an enormous amount of processor
resources, and slows the performance of other activities
being completed at the server.
Instead of Dynamic Conversion, schedule the Document
Conversion to run regularly. You can also use the Document
Library Conver sion function to convert a doc ument before
making it available on the DigiPath WS server, if necessary.
5. Continue with the next procedure “Defining the JPG Viewing
