Set up Mapped Security

To use mapped security to protect information that is extracted from Slack by the Slack Connector, set up the following components:

  • Slack Connector. You must set up the Slack Connector to include security information (Access Control Lists) in the documents that are indexed into IDOL Server. The connector adds the ACL to a document field named AUTONOMYMETADATA. You must also add a field to each document that identifies the security type. For information about how to do this, see Retrieve and Index Access Control Lists.
  • Connector Framework Server (CFS). Your CFS must be configured to index documents from the connector into your IDOL Server (Content Component). There are no configuration changes to make for mapped security.
  • OmniGroupServer. You must set up OmniGroupServer to retrieve user and group information. For information about how to configure OmniGroupServer, see Retrieve User and Group Information.
  • IDOL Server. You must set up the IDOL Content component to process the security information contained in each document. You must also configure user security, so that the IDOL Community component sends user and group information to your front-end application when a user logs on. For information about how to set up these IDOL components, see Configure IDOL Server. For more information about document security, refer to the IDOL Document Security Administration Guide.
  • A front-end application for querying IDOL Server.
