• Simplifies the steps that are required to set up Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS)

More Information

To apply the improvements from this hotfix, follow these steps:

1. Disable custom security trimming. To do this, run the following script in Windows PowerShell 2.0:

   customsecurity.ps1 -action disable

2. Back up the following files from every FAST search node. Then, delete the files from your installation on every node.

   • %FASTSEARCH%\etc\customsecurity.ini

   • %FASTSEARCH%\bin\microsoft.sharepoint.search.extended.security.trimmingsync.exe.config

3. Apply the update that is described in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base (KB) article:

4. Enable custom security trimming on each FAST search node. To do this, run the following script in Windows PowerShell 2.0 by using administrator rights:

   1. Locate the following configuration file:

      %FASTSEARCH%\bin\Microsoft.SharePoint.Search.Extended.Security.TrimmingSync.exe.config

   2. In the configuration file, make the following changes to the <DataSource.Documentum> section:

      • Set a Documentum logon name. Set a password for the logon name.
        
        Note You must make sure that the password for repository administrators is encrypted.

      • Set the name of the Documentum repository.
        
        Note This repository may have the Trusted Content Services (TCS) enabled.

      • Set the location of the Documentum Foundation Services (DFS).

   3. Configure the connectivity settings to the Documentum content server. For more information about configuring these settings, go to the following Microsoft TechNet website:
