At some point, I'll need to integrate security into my work. When are
the access tokens mapped? Meaning when (which connector) do you map the
token to users and files, before it can be ready to access?

The way mcf works is that you supply access tokens, which are arbitrary
strings, with the document. You then need a corresponding authority connector
which obtains the access tokens for a given user. the search engine then
intersects the two at query time.

Subject: Re: CONNECTORS-221 and ACLs
Hi Karl,
my main goal was to create indexes of ACL informations in Solr to allow
users to execute profiled queries.
This means that create indexes all the informations about ACL is needed to
write an AuthorityConnector, but I tried to take a look at the authority
interface and I didn't see any way to get ACL using CMIS without the
information about the current document. So I need the current
documentIdentifier to get ACL from a content.
Is this the correct approach or am I missing something?
Thank you.

Hi Piergiorgio,
I am out of town this weekend so I cant comment fully and i havent yet
looked at your new patch. However, you will need to rethink how the acls
work with the cmis connector. MCF is designed to support multiple
connectors, with their own security arrangements, all working at the same
time, which means the cmis connector must operate within mcfs security
framework to be valid.
If you have signed up for the ManifoldCF in Action book, I can send you a
number of chapters which will help. Based on what youve done so far I would
guess you will need to write a cmis authority. You want chapters 4, 7, and
8, seems to me.
