Introduction

OmniGroupServer is a generic group server that collects user and group security information from many types of repository.

OmniGroupServer can retrieve information from:

OmniGroupServer stores the collected security information and checks for updates at regular intervals.

When a user starts a session with an IDOL front-end, the client application requests security information from the IDOL Community component. Community retrieves the user’s security details from OmniGroupServer and returns the information to the application. The client application then adds the security information to every subsequent query it sends to the IDOL Content component. Content can then compare the user’s security details to a document’s access control list (ACL) to determine whether to grant access to the document.
