Retrieve Security Group Information using OmniGroupServer

To ensure that users are allowed to view documents that you have retrieved from SharePoint and indexed into the IDOL Content component, you must:

  • retrieve the security group information from the SharePoint repository.
  • retrieve the security group information from Active Directory or a claims provider (depending on how your SharePoint installation is configured).
  • combine the security groups into a single repository in OmniGroupServer.

OpenText recommends that you schedule all of these tasks using OmniGroupServer. When the tasks are scheduled through OmniGroupServer, no changes need to be made to the connector’s configuration file. You can also schedule the tasks to occur in the correct order (the combine operation must occur after the group information has been retrieved).
