SAML Batch Authorization Requests

SAML batch authorization requests enable the search appliance to cache authorization requests for
users. For each user who performs a search query that involves secure content, the search appliance
first determines the relevant URLs and then determines whether the user has access to the content. The
search appliance makes an authorization request to the appropriate web servers and then stores the
authorization data. The search appliance uses the cached authorization information for subsequent
searches, making those searches faster.

You can use batched SAML authorization requests if your SAML provider supports the Google SAML
batch authorization extension. If not, do not use batched SAML authorization requests.

You can enable this feature in the Admin Console on the Serving > Access Control page in the
Authorization SPI section.
