Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: How to integrate solr search with sharepoint

[Niko Himanen <nh...@alpha-sense.com>]

Hey,

One option for crawling Sharepoint is ManifoldCF which has a Sharepoint
connector:
https://manifoldcf.apache.org/release/release-2.19/en_US/included-connectors.html.
It might even give you permissions used in Sharepoint which can then be
respected when searching.

Br,

Niko Himanen
