# Retrieve Access Control Lists and Identify the Security Type

The following steps are sufficient to configure most connectors for mapped security. However, some connectors require additional or different configuration, so OpenText recommends that you refer to the documentation for your connectors.

- Retrieve an ACL for each item in the repository and add the ACL to a document field:

  - To configure a NiFi connector, right-click the processor and click Configure. Then set the Mapped Security property to true.

  - To configure an ACI connector, edit the connector configuration file and set the parameter `MappedSecurity` to `true`, for example:

        [FetchTasks]
        MappedSecurity=True

- Add a field to each document that specifies the security type:

  TIP: Many connectors add the security type to the document automatically. For a list of security types that are automatically added to documents, see Standard Security Configuration. You only need to perform this step if you are using a connector that does not add the security type to documents.

  - If you are deploying connectors in NiFi, you can use the ExecuteDocumentLua processor to manipulate documents.

  - If you are deploying ACI connectors, edit the connector configuration file and add an ingest action. For example:

        [Ingestion]
        IngestActions=META:SecurityType=LDAP

  NOTE: The field name and value that you specify must match the field name (specified by `PropertyFieldCSVs`) and field value (specified by `PropertyMatch`) that you used to identify the security type in your Content component configuration file.
