Hi, We are using ManifoldCF and Solr in a Microsoft Windows environment. We have an issue trying to search for documents from Solr when we have users from other domains. We have two domains, one where everything is running in (Domain A) and one where our users are (Domain B). The 2 windows domains trust each other. We are placing users from Domain B into groups in Domain , which is where our problem is.
We have ManifoldCF 2.0.1 indexing Microsoft SharePoint 2013, and think there is an issue with our authority set up (using a SharePoint/AD authority connection to the Domain Controller in 'Domain A'). We are not able to add a connection to 'Domain B', as we don't have access to it directly. We are putting a user from 'Domain B' into the above AD group in 'Domain A'. Within SP2013 we have an AD group from 'Domain A' inside a SP2013 group, the SharePoint group has permission granted to read document libraries and various lists. To double check the result, we used the authority service and we get a 'user not found' error. If we try to look for user@domainB, domain B is not the suffix defined for the DC we are connecting to. And if we say user@domainA, then it wouldn't be looking for the right user. Also, having a look at the code, it seems the authority connector only looks for objects of type 'user'. Our best guess is that as our users are from a different domain, they will be a 'ForeignSecurityPrincipal' object, and therefore not found by the connector? Our users have the correct access rights to SharePoint itself, and the can view content and sites. We have had this configuration working with users from 'Domain A' previously, so we know our general configuration works. Is there any way to configure ManifoldCF to find users who are members of a permitted group in one domain when the users themselves belong to a trusted domain? Thanks in advance for any help.
