Hi Deanna, There is a book on mcf which describes the authorization model it uses for documents. Look for a link on the site for "books and presentations".
For ES, the authorization integration requires Java level integration with the manifoldcf es plugin. The plugin is included on the download page. Not all repo connectors support authorization. Cmis is in a grey area too because all it can do for access tokens is list all the individual users that can see a document. That is not very scalable. Hope this helps get you started.

We want the crawler to search the entire repo since we'll have a wide variety of user role-based permissions. I understand that the connectors must provide some type of authentication information that is attached to each document. I'm hoping to use the CMIS repo connector and enhance the authentication information it provides. Can you recommend an output connector that does a good job of that? I want to use Elasticsearch as my output connector. I haven't been able to find any information on how the output connectors consume the auth info (there's excellent documentation for the repo connectors providing the info). Maybe I'm just not googling effectively. I have delved into the code, but would love some kind of overview from the search engine's perspective! Is this documented anywhere? thanks very much! Deanna
