# Configure the NiFi Ingest Connector

This section describes how to configure a NiFi Ingest connector, to enable document security.

To enable document security with a NiFi Ingest connector

1. Open the NiFi user interface in your web browser.
2. Stop the connector, if it is running. To do this, right-click the processor and click Stop.

3. Right-click your NiFi Ingest connector and click Configure.

   The Configure Processor dialog box opens.

4. Click the Properties tab.

5. If the connector has a Mapped security property, set the property to true so that the connector adds Access Control Lists (ACLs) to the documents that it produces. If the connector does not have a Mapped security property then mapped security is not supported.

6. Configure the connector to add a metadata field to each document, identifying the security type. Usually, this field is named `SecurityType`. You can use any name but it must match the name that you specified when you configured your Content component.

   1. Click to add a dynamic property.

      The Add Property dialog box opens.

   2. In the property name box, type the following, where `fieldname` is the name of the field you use to identify the security type:

      `META:fieldname`

      For example:

          META:SecurityType

   3. Set the value of the field to the security type. For example, you might set the value to `SharePoint` or `SharePointOnline`. You must use the same value that you used when you configured the security type in your Content component configuration file.

7. Click APPLY.
