FAQs

Can the StageR Plugin ingest documents without security information?

Such as ACLS

Yes, just set the claimsIssuer field in the configuration to 'public'. Otherwise, you'll need the Security Pre-trimmer in order to view any non-public documents in the search results.

What kind of certificate files does the plugin support?

The plugin needs .p12 files to work. Nothing else is supported at this moment. 

Why is the plugin unable to access the secured StageR?

My certificate is OK 

Make sure the certificate user is registered in the StageR. For more information, go here.

Can the StageR Plugin run against a load balanced StageR?

Yes, but make sure all of the instances of the StageR have the plugin's Content Processing module file (SharePointBCSMapping.js) in their processing_modules directory. The file can be located in the \deploy\resources directory.

Access denied errors when crawling

Business Data Connectivity access denial

Error while crawling LOB contents. 
( Error caused by exception: Microsoft.BusinessData.Infrastructure.AccessDeniedException 
Access denied by Business Data Connectivity.; 
SearchID = ... )

For this specific case, the user needs to have full Object permissions over the BDC Model, the External Content Type and the External System.  Metadata Store Permissions are needed as well.

Both sets of permissions can be configured from Central Administration → Application Management → Manage Service Applications → Business Data Connectivity Service

For each element in the toolbar's dropdown (Externa Content Types, BDC Models and External Systems) select both Set Object Permissions and Set Metadata Store Permissions and configure the user that executes the crawls.
