Filesystem + Security

[Alejandro Calbazana <ac...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I'd like to throw a use case out there and see if its possible to do this
with manifold.

I want to process documents that are on the filesystem so that I can strip
their content, associate access tokens to them, and index them into Solr.
I see how some of this can be done with the tika transformation connector,
but I'm not clear on how to associate access tokens with this kind of job.
Additionally, I have metadata stored in a relational db that I'd like to
add to the index along with the document content.

Has anyone done anything like this using manifold?

Thanks,

Alejandro

Hi Alejandro,

To do this in ManifoldCF, you could in theory write a transformation
connector that would decorate documents with security information and
metadata from a database.  I haven't heard of anyone who has written such a
transformation connector yet, so you may need to develop this yourself.  If
you do a good general job of it, though, we may be able to accept it back
as a contribution and maintain it going forward.

Thanks,
Karl
