Authentication and Identification

At search time users needs to log into their Symfoni accounts in Locator. This authentication is done under Account & Settings and Source Credentials.

Identification

Scope: Symfoni_

Tokens: Access items id.

Security

Items are marked with a list of Symfoni group and user SIDs at fetching time. The field internal may be added for an item, depending on the restricted access value in Symfoni.
At search time, users are given SIDs based on the Symfoni account associated with the Locator login.
Example:

  • "Symfoni_1774435918_USER  1000042"
  • "Symfoni_1774435918_GROUP  1000004"
  • "Symfoni_1774435918_Internal  Internal"

1774435918 is unique customer code.

In some company security environments ADFS control member permissions to Symfoni access groups. Authorization to Symfoni documents can be given directly to the AD user that is logged into Locator, without the permissions being registered in the Symfoni application. if the AD user is s member of the Symfoni access group controlled from AD, then the user can get search hits from Symfoni documents without authenticating the Symfoni user in Locator.
