Julien Massiera commented on CONNECTORS-1430:
---------------------------------------------
I had to do this modification for a client that uses MCF to index files into a
Datafari Solr server.
Here is the scenario:
- The files are crawled from two types of of repository sources: an Oracle
Database, and several Windows Shares.
- On every input source, the security is activated and the ACLs are indexed.
- The windows shares and the Oracle Database share the same users that can be
retrieved in their Active Directory
- The problem is that the Oracle Database possesses its own SIDs for the ACLs,
and these ACLs are completely different from the ones in the Active Directory.
The only way to match them is through their names. This is the reason why we
configured the JDBC connector to retrieve names instead of SIDs during a crawl.
- They use the Active Directory authority connector with Solr to apply the user
ACLs during a search.
- As the AD authority connector only returns SIDs and not names, without this
modification, only the windows share files are searchable
> Return group names from the Active Directory

> Project: ManifoldCF
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: Active Directory authority
> Affects Versions: ManifoldCF 2.6

>
> Currently the Active Directory authority connector only returns the ACLs SIDs
> but not the names.
> Some users may want to work with names or both and thus SIDs are not enough.
> For those cases, it would be good if the authority connector have an option
> in his configuration to also return the names in addition to the SIDs
