The format of a ManifoldCF access token is a collaboration between an authority connector and repository connectors designed to work with that authority connector. If you've already indexed documents using another mechanism, you can still use ManifoldCF's authority service to obtain access tokens for authenticated users. This service is a web application accessible by http. You can see what it returns (after defining an authority connection or two in the ManifoldCF UI) by simply using curl:
curl "http://localhost:8345/mcf-authority-service/[email protected]"; ... and noting what is returned. The access tokens indexed in Solr by your crawler will have to match the access token format returned by the authority service, or the Solr query modification components we supply will not work.
