Setting

Description

Traversal History Length

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

Number of Traversal Workers

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)

Principal Aliaser 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 is 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 four types of aliaser avaialble:

Static Mapping Aliaser

Static Mapping entries which will be applied to all user processed by the connector as part of the document ACL and principal information. If this type of aliaser is configured any user token without a mapping entry will be dropped from being synchronized to the search engine.

Setting Description

Setting	Description
Mappings	Mapping Entry with `Source User ID` with the user token from source system and `Target User ID` with the user token which should be processed to the search engine in place of the source user ID.

Mappings

Mapping Entry with Source User ID with the user token from source system and Target User ID with the user token which should be processed to the search engine in place of the source user ID.

Simple XML Table Aliaser

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.

Setting

Description

XML Mapping File

Browse and upload or drag and drop.

Sample XML mapping file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<storeddata>

    <entry keyValue="user2">user2@raytion.com</entry>
    <entry keyValue="user3">user3@raytion.com</entry>
</storeddata>
