Confluence Type Filter Settings

Configuration Options related to which types of search targets should be generated

Name Description

User Profiles

User Profile pages will become search targets, if this value is enabled.

Labels

Labels will become search targets, if this value is enabled.

In addition to the creator and the last modifier of a page or blogpost, all other modifiers are queried, too. This is an expensive operation.

Comment Handling

NONE: Comments will not be indexed. ATTACH_TO_PARENT: Comments will be part of page or blog post. MERGE_ALL_COMMENTS: Comments will be one separately indexed document.

Drafts of Pages and Blog Posts

Pages and Blog Posts in draft status will be indexed.

Deleted Pages and Blog Posts

Pages and Blog Posts in deleted status will be indexed.

Microsoft Search Configuration

Connector Product Settings

Configuration Options related to specifying the product which is going to connect to the Microsoft Search.

Name Description

Connection ID

Connection ID of the connector product which is registered with Microsoft Search.

Microsoft Search Connection Settings

Configuration Options related to establish a connection and sending requests to Microsoft Search.

Name Description

API endpoint

Microsoft Search API endpoint including version specifier.

Requests per Second

Maximum number of requests per second.

Connect Timeout

Determines the timeout in milliseconds until a connection is established. A timeout value of zero is interpreted as an infinite timeout. A negative value is interpreted as undefined (system default if applicable).

Socket Timeout

Defines the socket timeout in milliseconds, which is the timeout for waiting for data or, put differently, a maximum period inactivity between two consecutive data packets. A timeout value of zero is interpreted as an infinite timeout. A negative value is interpreted as undefined (system default if applicable).

Use Poxy

If enabled, the connection to Microsoft Graph API will be established through a HTTP/HTTPS proxy.

Proxy Endpoint

Target proxy URL including protocol, host and port.

Proxy Authentication

If enabled, the connector uses the specified credentials to authenticate towards proxy.

Proxy Username

Proxy authentication username.

Proxy Password

Proxy authentication password. The value will be stored encrypted by the connector.

Microsoft Search Principal Mapping Settings

Configuration Options related to mapping source system principals to Microsoft Search AzureAD users.

Setting Description

Principal ID Attributes

AzureAD attributes to match principal ids against. Maps a principal id to all AzureAD user objects where one of the specified attributes values matches the principal id.

General Configuration

Database Configuration

Setting Description

URL

JDBC URL for the target database. Out of the box, the connector will use H2 file database. For productive usage, use PostgreSQL specifying the URL in format: jdbc:postgresql:<host>:<port>/<database>

Username

Database Username to read and write to database.

Password

Database Password for the specified user

Traversal Configuration

Setting Description

Traversal History Length

Max. number of traversals to store in the history. Once the limit is exceeded, the connector will automatically remove oldest entries in the history. (default: 100)

Number of Traversal Workers

Number of workers to execute the traversal in parallel. Increasing this value might improve the performance, but will footprint higher memory consumption. It is recommended to keep the default value. (default: 10)

Traversal Job Poll Interval

Interval between the workers to be triggered to fetch and process the next tasks. (default: 10ms)

Completion Timeout

If the search engine indexes the items asynchronously, there might be some processing still in-flight during the completion process of a traversal. This value specifies the timeout value until all asynchronous callbacks are expected to return before completing the traversal. (default: 10m)

Principal Aliaser Configuration

Principal Aliasing is applied on user information as part of Content ACL processing during Content Synchronization and Principal processing during Principal Synchronization. It’s purpose is to map external source system user to the corresponding user in search engines domain. You can configure a list of aliasers in the connector which will be applied in sequence and in order on user ACEs and user principals. The Connector supports following custom aliasing mechanism.

Custom Aliaser Disabled

If the Custom Aliaser checkbox is not selected, the connector will process user information on ACE and user principals unchanged to Search Engine. If all relevant users in the source system can be found with the same identifier in the search engine, this setup is sufficient to reflect the same secure search experience in the search engine as defined by the policy in the source system. The connector uses this option as default to process user information.

Custom Aliaser Enabled

If custom aliasing is enable then there are four types of aliaser avaialble:

Simple XML Table Aliaser

Static mapping table which can be uploaded as XML file. The connector uses the uploaded file as lookup table to map a user in the source system to a user in the search engine. Users missing a record in the file will be dropped from the ACE and during Principal Synchronization. This option is only recommended for environment with a manageable amount of users as for each user the corresponding mapping entry needs to be specified in the file.

Setting Description

XML Mapping File

Browse and upload or drag and drop.

Sample XML mapping file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<storeddata>
    <entry keyValue="user1">user1@raytion.com</entry>
    <entry keyValue="user2">user2@raytion.com</entry>
    <entry keyValue="user3">user3@raytion.com</entry>
</storeddata>
Regex Replacer Aliaser

Regex Replacer Aliaser computes aliases based on a regular expression. Principals that match the regular expression are replaced by the Substitution String.

Setting Description

Pattern

The regular expression to match, this is the part that will be replaced. If braces (…​) are used in the pattern then the matched value can be retrieved using $1

Substitute String

String to replace the matching part of the find string. Matched value is accessed by employing $1

Regex Extractor Aliaser

Regex Extractor Aliaser computes aliases based on a regular expression. Principals that match the regular expression are inserted into the Insert-Into String.

Setting Description

Pattern

The regular expression to match, this is the part that will be inserted into the new value. If braces (…​) are used in the pattern then the matched value can be retrieved using $$

Insert-Into String

String to replace the matching part of the pattern. Matched value is accessed by employing $$

LDAP Aliaser

Ldap Aliaser searches for an LDAP entry with the requested name in the input value and returns the specified output attribute.

Setting Description
