Data Storage Security 

Password for Web Service

The password of the service user for the Adobe Web service is stored in SM59 (ABAP Server) and in the Secure Storage of the System Landscape Directory, in the case of Web Dynpro. This data is stored at administration time.

Password for Certificates

Passwords for certificates used for signing Adobe Reader rights are stored in the Key Storage of the AS Java, and the corresponding certificates are stored in the file system. This data is stored at administration time.

Password for IIOP Connection

Password and keys/certificates for the IIOP connection are stored in the Secure Storage and the Key Storage of the AS Java. The keys and certificates of the IIOP connections are temporarily stored in the file system.

At runtime, read-only access to this data is required.

Storage of Forms on the Server for Troubleshooting

When the rendering of a form fails, Adobe document services create a file that contains detailed information about the error, called Error.PDF. This file is written on the server that hosts the Adobe document services in the directory <DIR_GLOBAL>\AdobeDocumentServices\renderErrorLog\ErrorFiles. The file name is <Date+Time+ApplicationName+Username>.pdf

 

If your forms contain security-related data or information, you may avoid storing Error.PDF files. To prevent the storage of such files, you have to modify the file renderErrorConfig.xml in the directory <DIR_GLOBAL>\AdobeDocumentServices\renderErrorLog. For more information, see Changing the Maximum Size for the Storage of the ERROR.PDF File.
