Introduction

To enable mapped security, configure content security and user security:

  • Content security. Identifies the security type that applies to each document, and checks the Access Control List (ACL) of indexed documents against user security privileges.

  • User security. Provides authentication and checks which security privileges users have in IDOL and third-party repositories. This includes the retrieval of user group information from a group server.

NOTE: This guide explains how to configure mapped security by editing the IDOL Content component and IDOL Community component configuration files. If you have installed IDOL Server in unified mode, there is only one configuration file, named IDOLServer.cfg. The section names remain the same, except that:

  • The [Security] section in the Community configuration file becomes [UserSecurity] in IDOLServer.cfg.
  • The [SecurityFields] section in the Community configuration file becomes [UserSecurityFields] in IDOLServer.cfg.
