Mapped Security

The GitHub Connector supports mapped security. When you set the configuration parameter MappedSecurity to TRUE, an Access Control List (ACL) is added to each IDOL document and the SECURITYTYPE document field is set.

Security Type

Type=AUTONOMY_SECURITY_V4_GENERIC_MAPPED
SecurityACLFormat=:U:<U=SLE+>:G:<G=SLE+>
SecurityACLCheck=U=[U]?P:-,G=[G]?P:F

Use these values when you configure your IDOL Content component to process ACLs that originated from GitHub Connector.

ACL Format

:U:<Users>:G:<Groups>

<Users> is a comma-separated list of users who are permitted to view the document, and <Groups> is a comma-separated list of groups who are permitted to view the document.

SECURITYTYPE Field Value

GITHUB

An IDOL index might contain documents that originated from different connectors. GitHub Connector adds the SECURITYTYPE field to each document, so that you can configure your IDOL Content component to recognize documents that originated from this connector, and process each document using the appropriate security type.
