Specifying the content access account

The BDC uses the default content access account to crawl content sources. This account must have read access to the content being crawled. To avoid crawling unapproved revisions of documents, ensure that the account has no permissions to these revisions in the vaults.

To specify an account to use as the default account when crawling content:

1. Open SharePoint Central Administration.
2. In the left pane, click the name of the Shared Services Provider that you want to configure (for example, SharedServices1).
3. In the Search group, click Search settings. The Configure Search Settings page appears.
4. In the Crawl settings group, click the account name (NT AUTHORITY\LOCAL SERVICE, by default) specified for Default content access account. The Default Content Access Account page appears.
5. Type the account name (for example, DOMAIN\MOSS.Search), type its password, confirm the password, and Click OK to save your changes.
