Lucidworks Fusion 5 Configuration

Create new App

You can skip this step if there is already an app you want to use the connector for.

Navigate to App Launcher to create a new app.

Create App

Create Technical Account

It is recommended to create a dedicated technical user account for the connector restricted to the intended API permissions. In order to create a new user navigate to SystemAccess ControlUsers.

Create App

The connector requires at least the API permission HEAD,POST,GET,DELETE,PUT:/index-pipelines/** to consume the Indexing Pipeline API.

Create Technical Account
The created technical account credentials has to be specified in the connector configuration. Note, that the connector supports only the authentication via native realm. Make sure to select the native realm when creating the technical account.

Configure Index Pipeline

The connector processes binary content as Base64 encoded text into target Solr collection. Hence, it is recommended to include the Tika parser into your indexing pipeline.

Create Content Collection

If you use an existing collection within your app to index your documents, you can skip this step. To create a new collection navigate to IndexingCollection Manager within your app.

Create Tika Parser

As the connector does not apply any advanced binary content processing before indexing the documents, it is recommended to use the Apache Tika Parser provided by Fusion. Navigate to IndexingParsersAdd+ to add a new parser to your app. Remove all default parsers and add the Tika Parser to the list of parsers.
