Google Search Appliance: Managing Search for Controlled-Access Content 61
Use Case 3: Two Sets of Credentials for
Two Connectors
AlphaLyon, from use case 2 (see “Use Case 2: One Set of Credentials for Multiple Authentication
Mechanisms” on page 56), has acquired ABC company, from use case 1 (see “Use Case 1: HTTP Basic or
NTLM HTTP Controlled-Access Content with Public Serve” on page 53). Content for the merged
companies is managed by two different content management systems (CMSs).
• AlphaLyon’s content is managed by the ECM Documentum Content Management System
• ABC company’s legacy content is managed by Open Text Livelink ECM
Employees of the merged companies have two corporate-wide sets of credentials:
• 80% of the merged company’s employees have credentials in AlphaLyon’s system.
• 25% of the employees have credentials in ABC company’s system.
• 5% of the employees have credentials in both systems.
AlphaLyon’s IT department wants to centralize serve-time authentication for both systems, using both
sets of credentials.
AlphaLyon has these people who interact with this content:
• Tanya, the search appliance administrator
• Leslie, a employee who joined AlphaLyon as a result of the merger who has credentials in both
systems and who wants to view information from both systems
This use case assumes that Tanya has added connectors for Documentum and Livelink and the content
from the CMS’s has been traversed and fed into the search appliance. For information about adding
connectors, see Introducing Connectors.
Creating a Credential Group
Tanya needs to configure two credential groups, one credential group for each of the connectors.
However, because she is going to configure the Default credential group for Documentum, she only
needs to create one additional credential group, for Livelink.
1. Tanya opens Serving > Universal Login.
2. Tanya creates a credential group for Livelink by typing the name for the new credential group,
ABCLivelink, in the Credential Group Name box.
3. Tanya types a display name for the new credential group in Credential Group Display Name.
4. Tanya does not click Require a user-name for this credential group? because no ACLs need it.
5. Tanya checks Group is optional? because not everyone has a login to this credential group.
6. Tanya clicks Create New Credential Group.
