ILIA security assumptions
Intralinks is concerned about the security of all client data. The following conditions are necessary for the secure use of the Integration Adapter within your enterprise.
The Integration Adapter should be hosted on a server inside of a data center or some such secure facility.
- Physical security is provided for the host machine.
- Access to the Integration Adapter input folder location is restricted to:
- The external system integrating with the Integration Adapter – write access
- The system administrator for the Integration Adapter machine – read- only access
- The Integration Adapter implicitly trusts the external systems that it is integrating with; no integrity check is performed on the XML coming in from the external system.
- Private information about contacts in the XML file are kept on the Integration Adapter server (phone number, name, organization).
- An Intralinks ID (email address) must be associated with the Integration Adapter in order for it to work.
Administration
Multiple administrators are allowed to access ILIA configuration settings, run the process monitoring tool and perform other administrative tasks, such as starting and stopping the service.
Any user with an authorized Windows administrator account on a system running ILIA in either standalone mode or as part of a cluster will be able to act as an administrator. In order to support multiple administrators.
ILIA must have access to shared Windows resources.
