Mapped Security

The OpenText Core Content 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.

Supported security fields

The connector adds the following fields to each document. Each of these fields contains an Access Control List (ACL).

  • AUTONOMYMETADATA - evaluate this ACL to determine read permission.
  • AUTONOMYMETADATA_BROWSE - evaluate this ACL to determine browse permission (the ability to see that an item exists, but not read it).
  • AUTONOMYMETADATA_WRITE - evaluate this ACL to determine write permission.

SecurityACLCheck=NU=[DU]?F:-,NG=[DG]?F:-,E=1?P:-,U=[DU]?P:-,G=[DG]?P:F

Use these values when you configure your IDOL Content component to process ACLs that originated from OpenText Core Content Connector.

SECURITYTYPE Field Value

CoreContent

An IDOL index might contain documents that originated from different connectors. OpenText Core Content 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.
