Summary: Livelink/Opentext connector support REST API Key: CONNECTORS-1630 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONNECTORS-1630 Project: ManifoldCF Issue Type: New Feature Components: LiveLink connector Reporter: Jörn Franke Currently, the Livelink connector is based on the Opentext proprietary APIs lapi.jar/lssl.jar It seems that Opentext/Livelink focuses most of their efforts on the public REST API and lapi.jar becomes deprecated. Hence, a new connector shoule be developed to leverage the REST API. This task needs to investigate the minimum REST API version needed to provide the Manifold functionality (Repository/Authority connection) similar to the proprietary APIs. One needs then also to identify the configuration options in the UI, such as authority connection * API base Url * username/password auth (it is not basic auth), NTLM, Kerberos * repository: * API base url * API version to use (currently v1 or v2, just in case both version would provide the needed functionality) * username/password auth (it is not basic auth), NTLM, Kerberos * path to fetch (e.g. by object id of the folder) * recursive fetch (yes/no) * regex pattern for specific filenames * regex pattern for specific (sub-)folders in case of recursive fetch * mapping of username to Livelink username * number of threads for API calls Then a plan needs to be developed on how to design the functionality. Multi-threading should be used as much as possible, but should be limited to a certain number of threads, e.g. by using a Execution Service, in the UI as the REST API requires many calls to get all information (e.g. to get document categories one needs to "work recursively its way up").
