Configure the NiFi Ingest Connector

This section describes how to configure an IDOL NiFi Ingest connector, to enable document security.

To enable document security with an IDOL NiFi Ingest connector

  1. Open the NiFi user interface in your web browser.
  2. Stop the connector, if it is running. To do this, right-click the processor and click Stop.
  3. Right-click your NiFi Ingest connector and click Configure.

    The Configure Processor dialog box opens.

  4. Click the Properties tab.

  5. If the connector has a Mapped security property, set the property to true so that the connector adds Access Control Lists (ACLs) to the documents that it produces. If the connector does not have a Mapped security property then mapped security is not supported.

  6. Configure the connector to add a metadata field to each document, identifying the security type. Usually, this field is named SecurityType. You can use any name but it must match the name that you specified when you configured your IDOL Content component.

    1. Click to add a dynamic property.

      The Add Property dialog box opens.

    2. In the property name box, type the following, where fieldname is the name of the field you use to identify the security type:

      META:fieldname

      For example:

      META:SecurityType
    3. Set the value of the field to the security type. For example, you might set the value to SharePoint or SharePointOnline. You must use the same value that you used when you configured the security type in your IDOL Content component configuration file.
  7. Click APPLY.
