File System Connector 25.4
File System Connector Help

# AlternateDomain

(Windows OS only.) To generate Access Control Lists for mapped security, the File System Connector must be able to lookup user and group names from their SID. The connector uses the Windows API, and by default lookups are performed on the local system or by trusted domain controllers.

If you are indexing a network share that is in a different domain to the connector machine, and that domain is not trusted, you can use this parameter to specify the name of a system to use for resolving SIDs.

Type: | String
Default: | (Uses the local system and trusted domain controllers)
Required: | No
Configuration Section: | TaskName or FetchTasks
Example: | `AlternateDomain=server.domain.com`
See Also: | SidLookupSystemName
