7.2.2.3.1 Configuring an Oracle Content Server Source in Oracle SES The Oracle Content

Server connector enables Oracle SES to search the Oracle Content Server instance in Oracle UCM. The connector reads the feeds provided by the Oracle Content Server instance according to a crawling schedule. To crawl data from Oracle SES, you must create a source of type Oracle Content Server. For detailed instructions on installing the connector patch and creating the Oracle Content Server source, see Setting Up Oracle Content Server Sources in Oracle Secure Enterprise Search Administrators Guide. The following parameters are used in setting up the Oracle Content Server source: ■ Configuration URL: http:host_nameinstance_nameidcplg?IdcService=SES_CRAWLER_DOWNLOAD_ CONFIGsource=source_name The parameter represented by source_name must be equal to one of the strings used in SESCrawlerExport component Source Name sceSourceName parameter. This parameter points to one of the content sources on the Oracle Content Server instance. For example: http:stahz16ucmidcplg?IdcService=SES_CRAWLER_DOWNLOAD_CONFIGsource=cs ■ HTTP endpoint for authentication and authorization: You are prompted for the HTTP endpoint values during the Oracle UCM identity plug-in activation and authorization manager configuration. The two values are usually the same on the same Oracle UCM instance and are usually in the form of http:host_ name instance_nameidcplg. For example, http:my.host.comucmidcplg. This value is used as the endpoint for any service call to Oracle Content Server instance. You can also find the value by using the navigation portal to select Administration, then Admin Server, then Internet Configuration . Use the current URL without URL parameter as the HTTP endpoint.

7.2.2.3.2 Configuring an Oracle Content Server Source with Oracle Single Sign-On When the

Oracle Content Server instance is secured with Oracle single sign-on OSSO, the SESCrawlerExport component configuration must be changed to allow Oracle SES access to the services provided by SESCrawlerExport. Go to the Configure SESCrawlerExport page to disable the internal security mechanisms by setting the Disable Secure APIs parameter to true.

7.2.2.3.3 Configuring an Oracle Content Server Source with Other Single Sign-On Solutions

When the Oracle Content Server instance is secured with a single sign-on solution other than Oracle single sign-on OSSO, some changes must be made to allow Oracle SES access to the services provided by the SESCrawlerExport component. ■ Configuration: When using a single sign-on solution other than Oracle single sign-on, the security for the services provided by the SESCrawlerExport component are provided by the component itself. Go to the Configure SESCrawlerExport page to enable the internal SESCrawlerExport security mechanisms by setting the Disable Secure APIs parameter to false. Disable Secure APIs sceDisableSecureAPIs A Boolean flag that determines if the security for the services provided by the SESCrawlerExport component are done internally false or by the Oracle Content Server true natively. For more information see Section 7.2.2.3.2, Configuring an Oracle Content Server Source with Oracle Single Sign-On. Element Description 7-20 Oracle Fusion Middleware System Administrators Guide for Oracle Content Server ■ Web Server: Access to the services provided by the SESCrawlerExport component must bypass single sign-on because Oracle SES is not compatible with the single sign-on solutions. Depending on the selected single sign-on solution, creating a bypass might be as simple as configuring a web server module to allow access to a subset of services. If you set up an additional web server on the Oracle Content Server instance, the web server must run on a different port than the standard Oracle Content Server port that is, something other than port 80. Configure this additional web server to not have any single sign-on protection at all. Also, set up Access Control Lists to allow only Oracle SES access to this web server. In the Oracle SES configuration, use this additional web server port in the configuration URLs for the Oracle Content Server source.
