Mapped Security

The Salesforce Native Connector supports mapped security. The connector can generate Access Control Lists (ACLs) and sets the SECURITYTYPE field in each document.

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.
Security Type
Type=AUTONOMY_SECURITY_V4_GENERIC_MAPPED

Use this security type when you configure your IDOL Content component to process ACLs that originated from Salesforce Native Connector.

ACL Format
SecurityACLFormat=U:<U=SLEC+>:G:<G=SLEC+>
SecurityACLCheck=U=[U]?P:-,G=[G]?P:F

Use these parameter values when you configure your IDOL Content component to process ACLs that originated from Salesforce Native Connector.

SECURITYTYPE Field Value
SALESFORCE

An IDOL index might contain documents that originated from different connectors. Salesforce Native 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.

Group server configuration

Create a new security repository.

  • If you deploy an ACI connector, configure OmniGroupServer to request user and group information from the connector based on a schedule. For information about how to do this, refer to the IDOL Document Security Administration Guide.
  • If you deploy the connector in NiFi, use the processor GetSalesforceGroups to extract user and group information. In your dataflow, use a PutOGS processor to send the data to your OmniGroupServer.
