Enable security on a Exalead CloudView Search feed

The following procedure describes how to enable security on a CloudView Search feed. When the user authenticates on a page, the security provider retrieves his tokens from the security source(s) which in turn, sends the user’s query and the security tokens to the index.

The index only fetches documents that match both the user’s query and the security tokens.

For example, if a user has the Everybody and group1 tokens, and if security is enabled on the feed, Exalead CloudView will filter the documents and return only the documents matching Everybody and group1.

Before you begin:

A security source has been set in the Administration Console. For more information, see Configuring Security Sources in the Exalead CloudView Administration Guide.
A security provider has been set, see Adding Security to Your Application.

About Mashup Builder feeds

In Mashup Builder, select an application page, for example, the search page.
Select the Feeds view and add two CloudView Search feeds. Let’s say that the first one is called secured and the second one unsecured.
For the first feed, select Enable Security.
Select the Design view, drag the Table widget, and drop two Result List widgets inside it.
1. In the first Result List widget, select the secured feed.
2. In the second Result List widget, select the unsecured feed.
Click Save and Apply the configuration.
Open the Mashup Builder search page:
- The secured result list displays only the documents matching the users’ security tokens.
- The unsecured result list displays all documents as security tokens are not taken into account.
