Configuring crawler access

Next, configure the credentials that the crawler needs for access to your file shares:

1.

Go to the Content Sources > Web Crawl > Secure Crawl > Crawler Access (Previous to
Version 7.2: Crawl and Index > Crawler Access) page, shown in the following figure.

2.

Add the file share usernames and passwords used to connect to your file shares from the
configuration worksheet.

3.

Check Make Public.

4.

Click Save (Previous to Version 7.2: Save Crawler Access Configuration).

IMPORTANT: The content that the crawler finds is cached by the GSA and is available as a link in the
search results. Checking Make Public makes any content the crawler finds with this user id available for
all users to search and view from the cache.
