ACLs are stored in the search appliance’s group database.

Mark all documents as public

Adding the variable adaptor.markAllDocsAsPublic=true to the adaptor-
config.properties

file enables you to treat all users as if they are members of all

groups, thereby giving them access to all documents. The default value for
adaptor.markAllDocsAsPublic

is “false.”

Take note that if this option is set to “true” for the Connector for Active Directory, the
connector does not send a feed specifying group membership to the search appliance.

Archive feeds

Adding the variable feed.archiveDirectory with a valid path to the adaptor-
config.properties

file enables you to save feeds to the specified directory on the local

drive as they are sent to the GSA. All feeds successfully and unsuccessfully sent to the GSA
are archived. Failed feeds are tagged with FAILED in the archive feed file name. The feeds
contain listed document-ids, named resources, and group definitions


Reverse proxy setup

You can add a reverse proxy to your configuration as an intermediary for crawl requests
from the search appliance to the connectors. For example, you might configure a proxy
server (PROXYHOST) between the search appliance and multiple connectors in a round-
robin setup.

To set up a reverse proxy:

1.

Configure server.hostname as the proxy server instead of the server running
the connector. In the previous example, you would configure
server.hostname=PROXYHOST

2.

Optionally configure server.reverseProxyPort (defaults to server.port). This
option controls the

p

ort used in retriever URLs.

3.

Optionally configure server.reverseProxyProtocol to either http or https,
depending on proxy traffic (defaults to https in secure mode and http otherwise).
