Karl Wright commented on CONNECTORS-1480:
-----------------------------------------
Hi Shashank,
(1) The local file system connector distributed with ManifoldCF does not
enforce file system permissions. We are not in a position to modify it,
either, because of backwards compatibility concerns.
(2) For Windows, the JCIFS connector does enforce security, in conjunction with
the Active Directory authority. If you were crawling Windows only, that is
what I'd recommend that you use.
(3) If you want to write your own Unix connector, it is straightforward to do
so. There is even a book. It's outdated but you should be able to largely
work with it. Here's the link:
https://github.com/DaddyWri/manifoldcfinaction/tree/master/pdfs
(4) We're happy to answer any questions you might have on how to use or develop
for ManifoldCF.
Thanks!
> Linux(and windows) file permission in ManifoldCF
> ------------------------------------------------

> Key: CONNECTORS-1480
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONNECTORS-1480
> Project: ManifoldCF
> Issue Type: Wish
> Affects Versions: ManifoldCF 2.8.1, ManifoldCF 2.9
> Environment: Cent OS
> Reporter: Shashank Raj
> Assignee: Karl Wright
> Priority: Critical
> Labels: manifoldcf
>
> I have been working on a project based on file system crawling through
> ManifoldCF and indexing it through Solr. While crawling, manifold initially
> doesn't look for *file permissions* and hence it does not shows up on the
> query list of Solr 7.1.
> To add custom fields we need to edit +mcf-filesystem-connector.jar+ present
> in +apache-manifoldcf-2.9-bin\apache-manifoldcf-2.9\connector-lib+ .
> If there any method already present to get file permissions and linux qgroups
> without editing the source code since I am looking for version flexibility,
> it would be very helpful.
> I am just starting up with ManifoldCF so it would be really helpful if you
> guide me through the process. Thanks in advance.
