Mapped Security

The JIRA REST Connector supports mapped security. When you set the configuration parameter MappedSecurity to TRUE, an Access Control List (ACL) is added to each IDOL document and the SECURITYTYPE document field is set.

Security Type
Type=AUTONOMY_SECURITY_V4_NT_MAPPED

Use this security type when you configure your IDOL Content component to process ACLs that originated from JIRA REST Connector.

ACL Format

<EveryoneFlag>:U:<users>:G:<groups>:NU:<negative-users>:NG:<negative-groups>

A user is never allowed to view a document if they are in the list of negative users (NU) or if they belong to a group in the list of negative groups (NG).

The <EveryoneFlag> has the value zero (0) or one (1). If the flag is 0 a user is granted access only if their user name appears in the list of allowed users (U), or if they are a member of a group that appears in the list of allowed groups (G). If the everyone flag is 1 a user is granted access, regardless of whether they appear in those lists (U or G).

SECURITYTYPE Field Value

Jira

An IDOL index might contain documents that originated from different connectors. JIRA REST Connector adds the SECURITYTYPE field to each document, so that you can configure your IDOL Content component to recognize documents that originated from this connector, and process each document using the appropriate security type.

OmniGroupServer configuration Create a new security repository and configure OmniGroupServer to populate the repository with user and group information by calling the connector's SynchronizeGroups action (set GroupServerJobType=Connector).
