Introduction

To enable mapped security, configure content security and user security:

  • Content security. Identifies the security type that applies to each document, and checks the Access Control List (ACL) of indexed documents against user security privileges.

  • User security. Provides authentication and checks which security privileges users have in Knowledge Discovery and third-party repositories. This includes the retrieval of user group information from a group server.

NOTE: This guide explains how to configure mapped security by editing the Content component and Community component configuration files. If you have installed Knowledge Discovery components in a unified configuration, there is only one configuration file, named IDOLServer.cfg. The section names remain the same, except that:

  • The [Security] section in the Community configuration file becomes [UserSecurity] in IDOLServer.cfg.
  • The [SecurityFields] section in the Community configuration file becomes [UserSecurityFields] in IDOLServer.cfg.
