Specifying User Mapping

Use

The corresponding repository manager has to provide the credentials for logging on to the remote server for all users that access the following repositories:

• WebDAV repository
• File system repository (based on WINDOWS ^→ )
• Web repository (if you are using a Web server that supports permissions)
• Archiving WebDAV repository (based on WINDOWS →)
• Archiving file system repository

This information is read from the mapping data of the user who is trying to access the repository. When an index is created, this is the user of the index service service user. When a search is taking place, it is the user that is currently logged on to the portal.
