Hi, Let me first introduce myself, I am Rutvij Vyas. I am working mainly for application development in Java. Right now I am in process of building a connector from Drupal CMS to Solr using Apache ManifoldCF(Lucene Connector Framework).
As I understood from online documentation, I'll have to implement interfaces provided in framework for Repository,Authority and Output Connctors. Drupal CMS uses in-built security model(i.e. It uses internal users defined at Drupal level, there is no integration with Ad or something). I think in this case I'll have to design Authority connector to fetch ACLs from Drupal DB and cache them. Further I'll have to write repository connector to fetch metadata+content+URI+ACL information associated with each document from Drupal DB and feed it to Solr via output connector. Am I going right way? Is building a connector providing ability for secure searches on Solr possible with this approach? Kindly correct me if I am wrong. Can you please guide me with a brief about how to start? Your help for starting the code development is highly appreciated. Thanks and Regards, Rutvij Vyas
