Security

No authentication is required for searches using the Seeker web service. If you consider your indexed information to be sensitive, we recommend you take appropriate measures to secure access to the index directory and the Seeker web service, such as:

• Limit access to the physical index directory.
  • The Seeker web service only needs read access to the index.
  • The user running the Seeker Console or Seeker Service applications needs write access to the index.
• If your Dovetail CRM web applications are exposed to the Internet, place the Seeker web service behind a firewall.
• Use Windows Authentication to limit Seeker access to only those applications requiring search capabilities.
  • Disable anonymous access to the Seeker web service.
  • Using Windows integrated security, limit the credentials with access to the Seeker web service.
  • Rights to the Seeker web service should be granted to the credentials running Dovetail CRM web applications.
