A security trimmer validates user access to documents that have been indexed before they are shown to the user. Before you can use this feature, you must register the security trimmer. A security trimmer registration specifies a Shared Services Provider (SSP) and a crawl rule. To use the security trimmer with multiple SSPs, you must register the security trimmer for each SSP, as well as register it for each crawl rule it should be associated with.
You use the stsadm program to register the security trimmer by specifying the registersecuritytrimmer command. The following table describes the parameters that the command accepts.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
ssp |
Required. The name of the SSP; for example, SharedServices1. |
id |
Required. The security trimmer ID. This value is unique; if a security trimmer is registered with an ID that is already registered for another security trimmer, the registration for the first trimmer is overwritten with the registration for the second trimmer. |
typeName |
Required. The crawl rule for the security trimmer. |
rulepath |
Required. The crawl rule for the security trimmer. |
configprops |
Optional. The name-value pairs specifying the configuration options. Must be in the following format: Name1~Value1~Name2~Value~… |
To register a security trimmer:
Note You can find a batch file named RegisterBDCSecurityTrimmer.bat that contains an example of the command that can be copied and pasted to the command line for execution. The file resides in the BDC subfolder where the BlueCielo Web Service is installed.
