Piergiorgio Lucidi commented on CONNECTORS-221:
-----------------------------------------------
{quote}You have to invoke the authority service to have the authority connector
invoked. This is an HTTP request. For example (if you have curl) "curl
http://localhost:8345/mcf-authority-service/[email protected]";.
The Active Directory connector is not an exception at all. Other connectors
that have authorities are: Documentum, Livelink, and Meridio.{quote}
Thank you for this clarification!
{quote}As for how to do this with CMIS, let's ask a few basic questions. First,
does CMIS have a notion of user groups? I see from your earlier comment that
the user id's might be something like "johndoe" or "admin". Are there group
ID's too? Because all you really need to do at authority time is come up with
the list of user id's and group id's that correspond to a user, nothing having
to do with content.{quote}
The CMIS specification provides a mechanism to get and apply an ACE but only if
referred to a specific object in the repository, because it is a
content-centric protocol. This means that there isn't a way to retrieve
informations about permissions for an user without any object IDs.
I hope that in the next version of the specification we could find a new
service for this type of operations.
In conclusion I think that I can't implement any AuthorityConnector for CMIS.
