Web Access 9.0.1 is minor release featuring an updated installer and several new features for working with URLs and e-mailing documents.
- If you are installing Web Access on a Web Server where the System cryptography: Use FIPS compliant algorithms for encryption, hashing, and signing security policy is enabled, you must disable the Allow Web Access to authenticate using authentication tokens stored in the user's cookies option on the Web Access Configuration page. (82655)
- When upgrading from a previous version of Web Access 8 to Web Access 9.0.1, the installation will reset the application pool identity for the WebAccess8AppPool to "Network Service." (66228)
- Web Access Scanning is included as a standalone installation package on the Web Access DVD. This standalone installation package is automatically copied to your Web Access installation folder so that users can download and install the scanning client on their own computers. If you know that specific computers will need to scan from Web Access, you can choose to directly run the installation package from the DVD on those computers.
- Select the Custom setup type during the installation to choose to manually install available Language Packs. By default, if you choose to display the installation in a non-English language, the installation attempts to automatically install the corresponding Language Pack.
- The Laserfiche Mobile app for iPhone and iPad requires installing an add-on for your Web Access server. The Laserfiche Mobile Add-on for Web Access is available as part of the Web Access installation process. Select the Custom option during the installation process to enable the Laserfiche Mobile Add-on for Web Access option. For more information, see the Laserfiche Mobile documentation.
- The Laserfiche SharePoint Integrations are included as separate installation packages on the Web Access DVD.
- Web Access Light is the mobile edition of Web Access. It is designed to be used on mobile devices such as Blackberries. It is included with the Web Access installation. For more information, see the Web Access Light 8.3 Documentation.
- Web Access includes the option of installing a second copy of the Web Access static components on a separate Web server from the main Web Access server. This allows you to distribute resource load as well as potentially decreasing load times in a WAN environment as remote offices can host their own copies of the static components. The Web Access 9 static components are available in a separate installation package on the Web Access DVD.
