Configure a Custom Local Filestore User
InLoox Self-Hosted stores files — such as generated reports, image thumbnails, and private user documents — in a local directory on the server (C:\inetpub\InLooxWebApp\ServerFileBag). During initial setup, a dedicated local Windows user is created automatically to manage access to this directory.
If your environment requires a specific Windows account (for example, a domain user with particular permissions), you can configure a custom user in the Local filestore step of the setup.
You must have local administrator permissions on the server. To access this step after the initial installation, use configuration mode.
Configure the Custom User
During setup or in configuration mode, navigate to the Local filestore step.
-
Check the Use custom user checkbox to enable the custom user fields.
-
Enter the credentials for the Windows account that should be used to access the filestore directory:
- Domain — The Windows domain of the user account. Leave blank for a local machine account.
- Username — The username of the account.
- Password — The password of the account.
-
Click Test to verify that the provided credentials have access to the filestore directory. The test confirms that InLoox can read from and write to
C:\inetpub\InLooxWebApp\ServerFileBagwith the specified account. -
If the test is successful, the message Access test successful. appears. Continue to the next step.
Ensure the specified user account has read and write permissions for the directory C:\inetpub\InLooxWebApp\ServerFileBag before proceeding. If the test fails, verify the credentials and directory permissions.
- Complete the remaining setup steps to apply the configuration.
If you leave Use custom user unchecked, InLoox continues to use the local user account that was created automatically during the initial installation.
