Retrieve and Index Access Control Lists

To configure the File System Connector to retrieve and index Access Control Lists (ACLs), follow these steps.

To retrieve and index Access Control Lists

  1. If the connector is running, stop the connector.
  2. Open the connector’s configuration file.
  3. Set the MappedSecurity parameter to true.

    • To index ACLs for all fetch tasks, set this parameter in the [FetchTasks] section.
    • To index ACLs for a single fetch task, set this parameter in the TaskName section for the task.

    For example:

    [FetchTasks]
    MappedSecurity=True
  4. Add a field to each document to specify the security type. To do this, create an ingest action or run a Lua script. For example:

    [Ingestion]
    IngestActions=META:SecurityType=NT

    NOTE: The field name and value that you specify must match the name and value you used to identify the security type in your IDOL Server configuration file.

  5. Save and close the configuration file.
