Knowledge Discovery 26.1
Document Security Administration Guide

# Introduction

To enable mapped security, configure content security and user security:

- Content security. Identifies the security type that applies to each document, and checks the Access Control List (ACL) of indexed documents against user security privileges.

- User security. Provides authentication and checks which security privileges users have in Knowledge Discovery and third-party repositories. This includes the retrieval of user group information from a group server.

NOTE: This guide explains how to configure mapped security by editing the Content component and Community component configuration files. If you have installed Knowledge Discovery components in a unified configuration, there is only one configuration file, named `IDOLServer.cfg`. The section names remain the same, except that:

- The `[Security]` section in the Community configuration file becomes `[UserSecurity]` in `IDOLServer.cfg`.
- The `[SecurityFields]` section in the Community configuration file becomes `[UserSecurityFields]` in `IDOLServer.cfg`.
