General Configuration

Database Configuration

Setting Description

Setting	Description
JDBC URL	JDBC URL for the target database. Out of the box, the connector will use H2 file database. For productive usage, use PostgreSQL specifying the URL in format: `jdbc:postgresql:<host>:<port>/<database>`

JDBC Username

Database Username to read and write to database.

JDBC Password

Traversal Configuration

Setting	Description
Traversal History Length	Max. number of traversals to store in the history. Once the this limit is exceeded, the connector will automatically remove oldest entries in the history. (default: 100)
Traversal Worker Size	Number of workers to execute the traversal in parallel. Increasing this value might improve the performance, but will footprint higher memory consumption. It is recommended to keep the default value. (default: 10)
Traversal Job Poll Interval	Interval between the workers to be triggered to fetch and process the next tasks. (default: 10ms)

Setting

Description

Traversal History Length

Max. number of traversals to store in the history. Once the this limit is exceeded, the connector will automatically remove oldest entries in the history. (default: 100)

Traversal Job Poll Interval

Interval between the workers to be triggered to fetch and process the next tasks. (default: 10ms)

Principal Alias Configuration

Principal Aliasing is applied on user information as part of Content ACL processing during Content Synchronization and Principal processing during Principal Synchronization. It’s purpose it to map external source system user to the corresponding user in search engines domain. You can configure a list of aliasers in the connector which will be applied in sequence and in order on user ACEs and user principals. The Connector supports following custom aliasing mechanism.

Custom Aliaser Disabled

If the Custom Aliaser checkbox is not selected, the connector will process user information on ACE and user principals unchanged to Search Engine. If all relevant users in the source system can be found with the same identifier in the search engine, this setup is sufficient to reflect the same secure search experience in the search engine as defined by the policy in the source system. The connector uses this option as default to process user information.

Custom Aliaser Enabled

If custom aliasing is enable then there are 4four types of aliaser avaialble:

Simple XML Table Alias

Static mapping table which can be uploaded as XML file. The connector uses the uploaded file as lookup table to map a user in the source system to a user in the search engine. Users missing a record in the file will be dropped from the ACE and during Principal Synchronization. This option is only recommended for environment with a manageable amount of users as for each user the corresponding mapping entry needs to be specified in the file.

Setting	Description
XML Mapping File	Browse and upload or drag and drop.
