Content Engine software logs on to Verity using the credentials of the Autonomy K2 server account.
Content Engine secures Autonomy K2 (Verity) collections by placing an ACL on each collection that allows access only to the Autonomy K2 server account. No user will be able to use external Verity tools to access the collection unless an appropriate user and password is provided.
Content Engine does not utilize or depend on Verity's own internal security features like securing its servers, collections, and objects inside collections.
For more information, see the entries for the Autonomy K2 server accounts in Users and Groups and the description of K2 access to file storage areas in Storage Area Security.
