### KF\_config.xml

Default installations of Keyfax have a single configuration file, this is normally called **KF\_config.xml** (KF is replaced with company prefix in some Multi company installations or for training/test instances) and is located in the KFLauncher shared folder.

The `KF_config.xml` configuration file schema is as follows.

```
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
	<Client/>
	<Paths/>
	<Database/>
	<Email/>
	<CRM/>
	<Scripting>
		<RD>
			<Images/>
			<Asset/>
			<History/>
			<Exchange/>
		</RD>
		<FL>
			<Images/>
			<Exchange/>
		</FL>
	</Scripting>
</configuration>
```

Some CDATA sections may have been in the Keyfax XML configuration files. These are used where a setting contains characters which are invalid in element values of an XML file (such as "<" or ">"). CDATA sections can only be used for XML element values, not attributes.
