Controlling Search Access
The search function accesses the default ACL database for your server. You can
restrict access to the documents and directories on your server by defining explicit
access control list (ACL) rules, or you can rely on the default access control
definitions. You can add users to your server's access control database through the
Administration Server's Users & Groups function. You can allow or restrict access
through the Restrict Access interface in the Server Manager. For more information
about setting access control, see Chapter 8, "Controlling Access to Your Server.
You can configure your server to check access permissions before searching the
collection root or displaying search results by using the Search Configuration
interface in the Server Manager, as described in "Configuring the Search
Parameters" on page 249. When this option is set, the server challenges the user to
identify themselves, and checks a user's access privileges before returning the
results of a search query.
Mapping URLs
When users search through a collection's files, the resulting documents use a
partial Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), to identify them. This security feature
prevents users from knowing the complete physical pathname for a file. A URI is
set up by mapping a URL to an additional document directory.
