Security: Remote Mapping

Remote mapping gives you two options for handling the user, group, and document permissions for documents that come from a remote host that is allowed, but not trusted:

See Mapping for more information. For more information on trusted and untrusted hosts see Files that Identify EasySpooler Hosts.

NOTE: If you do not define the Remote user map and a spool file comes from an untrusted system, the EasySpooler administrator becomes the owner and the document is put on hold.
