Activating IP Export Control

This section explains how to activate the crawling and search of security policies and P&O model, so that the 3DSearch can evaluate and restrict query results based on user credentials. The Exalead CloudView search engine used by the 3DSearch, is able to evaluate the IP classification access model of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. In the kernel, this IP classification is implemented as a rule that calls a JPO to evaluate if the document access is allowed.

Before you begin:

You must have either the IP Security Manager (IPS) or the IP Controlled Access (IPA) responsibility to activate the IP export control feature.

Important: These responsibilities adjust the data model policies of many existing apps, so when you install them, you affect the behavior of already installed apps.

  1. Activate the export control using the CVServlet:
    1. Edit the cvServlet.properties file located in #TOMCAT-ROOT#/webapps/3DSpace/WEB-INF/classes/
    2. Add the following line: 

      enable_export_control= true

    The 3DEXPERIENCE platform takes these changes into account automatically after a few minutes.

  2. Optional: To take changes into account immediately, restart Tomcat.
