Google Search Appliance Connectors Deploying the Connector for File Systems - Manual (Page 7)

Before you deploy the Connector for File Systems
Before you deploy the Connector for File Systems, ensure that your environment has all of
the following required components:
●
GSA software version 7.2.0.G.90 or higher
To download GSA software, visit the
Google for Work Support Portal (password
required).
● Java JRE 1.7 update 6 or higher installed on computer that runs the connector
● Connector for File Systems 4.0.3 JAR executable
For information about finding the JAR executable, see
Step 2 Install the Connector
for File Systems .
●
Ensure that the Windows account has sufficient permissions, as described in the
following section.
●
When sharing a folder from a Windows platform, permission must be given at the
share ACL and the NTFS ACL of the folder. Both ACLs need to give the connector
appropriate access. Both ACLs are also read by the connector.
Windows account permissions
The Windows account that the connector is running under must have sufficient
permissions to perform the following actions:
●
List the content of folders
●
Read the content of documents
●
Read attributes of files and folders
● Read permissions (ACLs) for both files and folders
●
Write basic attributes permissions
The connector attempts to restore the last access date for documents after it reads the
document content during a crawl. In order for the last access date to be restored back to
the original value before the content was read, the user account that the connector is
running under needs to have write permission. If the account has read-only permission
and not write permission for documents, then the last access date for documents will
change as the connector reads document content during a crawl.
