Filter SDK Java Programming Guide

# Run Filter with Minimal Privileges

OpenText recommends that you run Filter with only those privileges that are necessary for it to function correctly, which follows best practice for any application. In particular, Filter needs access only to the following directories:

- the Filter bin directory.

- any input and output locations.

- the configured temporary directory.

By default, when you run Filter out-of-process, the Filter process runs with the same privileges as the calling application. OpenText therefore recommends that your calling application drops privileges, especially root or Administrator privileges, before it calls Filter.
