When using a Google Connector (for example: SharePoint) with
Constellio, I see that we create credential groups and then assign
users to these groups. Is this the only way to do security, or can we
use the security component from the Google connectors? Doing it this
way, how feasible is it to do document level security (over a large
corpus of data)?

From what I can tell (and there isn't really a lot of documentation on
this, it appears that the connector is really only used to 'push' the
content into SOLR, but not for security (as it appears to have
actually been designed to do with the Google Search Appliance). Is
this actually the case?

Thanks

Hello Fraser,

You can find a video demonstrating how to use security in Constellio here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jt2iSy5oMHY

You can use ACL policy files for early binding security or rely on connector level security (late binding). 

Regards,

Vincent Dussault

I have watched the video and from what I can tell, it appears that if
this is used for an enterprise, the maintenance of this would be
impossible. If I have 500 users and 3 repositories, I would, as an
administrator, have to enter in information, for every repository that
they want to search securely. This would mean entering in possibly
1500 usernames and passwords. As well, I then, as an administrator,
have to make sure that when their credentials on the source system
change, I have to enter in the new ones... What would be useful here,
is to have a video that showed adding in a connector that actually
deal real time authentication via the connector itself (late binding),
instead of the method of using ACL policy files (early binding). Are
there any actual instructions on the configuration if we want to use
the connector for late binding (in terms of not just setup of the
connector, but the actual configuration of Constellio)?

This sentence:

should be:

connector that actually does real time authentication via the
