Summary

This article describes the Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Indexing Connector for Documentum issue that is fixed in the SharePoint 2010 Indexing Connector for Documentum hotfix package that is dated December 14, 2010.

INTRODUCTION

Issues that this hotfix package fixes

This hotfix package provides supports for Documentum Trusted Content Services (TCS) in SharePoint 2010 Indexing Connector for Documentum when you perform a crawl on a documentum content server.


Resolution

Improvements that are included in the hotfix package



  • This hotfix provides support for TCS "Access Restriction" Access Control List (ACL) features to Documentum users.
    When SharePoint 2010 Indexing Connector for Documentum translates Documentum ACL to NT ACL, the TCS ACL "Access Restriction" access permission is recognized and translated. Therefore, in SharePoint search results, you cannot see documents on which you are assigned with "Access Restriction" access permission.


    Note During the crawl process, "Required Group" access permission and "Required Group Set" access permission are not translated to NT ACL.

  • The TCS ACLs are extracted into SharePoint crawled properties.
    In order to enable the security trimming solution, this hotfix extracts the following TCS ACLs into SharePoint crawled properties that correspond to the Documentum objects crawled.

    TCS ACL

    Crawled Property

    Content Format

    Access Restriction

    DocumentumACLDeny

    DCTM User/Group\\ DCTM user/group\\DCTM user/group\\

    Required Group

    DocumentumACLRqGroup

    DCTM Group\\ DCTM group\\DCTM group\\

    Required Group Set

    DocumentumACLRqGroupSet

    DCTM Group\\ DCTM group\\DCTM group\\

    Note

    • In the RTM version of Indexing Connector for Documentum, the Documentum standard ACL access permission is extracted into crawled property DocumentumACL.

    • Extracting crawled properties for Docmentum ACLs are optional during the crawl process. If you want them to be crawled, an administrator should use the following command together with the command switch PersistDCTMACL in Documentum Connector:

      Set-SPEnterpriseSearchDCTMConnectorConfig

    • The format that describes a Documentum user or group in these crawled properties is still kept same.

      Source

      Format

      Notes

      User from "None" for "LDAP"

      Source\U\UserLoginDomain\UserLoginName

      "U" means user.
      dm_owner(represents the owner of the document) will be translated to the real user ID.
      dm_world(represents everyone) will be kept

      User from "Inline Password"

      Source\U\RepositoryName\UserLoginName

      "U" means user.
      dm_world(represents everyone) will be kept.

      Group

      Source\G\RepositoryName\GroupName

      "G" means group.

  • A special user permission "superuser" is available.
    If a user is assigned for the "superuser" user permission, the user can see all objects in the repository. Additionally the "superuser" user permission overrides all the other standard ACL access permissions and TCS ACL access permissions.

    Note

    • The "superuser" user permission is added into the managed crawled property DocumentumACL for every crawled object. In DocumentumACL, the "superuser" is treated as a group. The format of the "superuser" is as following:

      "Inline Password\G\RepositoryName\superuser"
    • The indexing connector treats the "superuser" as a special group. For every crawled object, the "superuser" user permission is translated into NT ACL access permission according to the mapping that is specified in DCTMConfig.xml.

    • In order to configure the indexing connector to map "superuser" user permission to a certain NT user account or a certain NT group account, an administrator should add the following code example under <Shared> element of theDCTMConfig.xml file that is located under the %Program Files%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\CONFIG\SearchConnectors\Documentum path.

      <SuperuserMapping>DomainName\superusergroup</SuperuserMapping>

      The <SuperuserMapping> element is an optional element that takes effect both in UserMappingTable mode and SameAccountName mode. Additionally, if you have several Documentum content servers, all the user accounts that have "superuser" permission are mapped to same NT account.
