Set up SharePoint Mapped Security
To use mapped security to protect information that was extracted from a SharePoint repository, set up the following components:
- You must set up the Content component to identify the security type associated with each document. You must also configure the Community component, so that it sends user and group information to the front-end application when a user logs on.
- You must set up the connector to include security information (Access Control Lists) in the documents that are indexed. 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.
- OmniGroupServer. You must set up OmniGroupServer to retrieve, and then combine, group information from SharePoint and either Active Directory or a claims provider. This results in three repositories in OmniGroupServer, but only the repository that contains the combined information should be queried by the Community component to populate user security info strings. OmniGroupServer retrieves SharePoint groups by sending the
SynchronizeGroups
action to the SharePoint connector. OmniGroupServer extracts NT security information directly from Active Directory. For information about how to configure OmniGroupServer, see Retrieve Security Group Information using OmniGroupServer. - A front-end application for querying Knowledge Discovery.
