Configuration to sort by date
In each record element of the GSA feed, the last-modified attribute can and should be specified. This attribute is used to extract the date that will be used to sort the documents by date. More specifically, according to the GSA documentation:
"Populate this attribute with the date time format specified in RFC822 (Mon, 15 Nov 2004 04:58:08 GMT). If you do not specify a last-modified date, then the implied value is blank. The system uses the rules specified in the Admin Console under Crawl and Index > Document Dates to choose which date from a document to use in the search results. The document date extraction process runs periodically so there may be a delay between the time a document appears in the results and the time that its date appears."
In order to avoid doing changes to the Document Dates in the GSA Admin Console, the best option is to set this value with the correct date format: RFC822
Indexing ACLs in GSA 7.x
GSA version 7.x has changed the way ACLs are sent through the feed protocol. This new ACL format is explained here.
From Aspire (2.0.2 Release) and onwards, a new xsl file is available in ${aspire.home}/config/xsl (aspireToGSA7.xsl) which is configured to work with the new ACL formatting for GSA 7.x.
For older versions of Aspire, download the xsl from: AspireToGSA7.xsl
GSA 7 has support for legacy mode acls, meaning that the old aspireToGSA.xsl can still be used, but the acl name requires to use @fullname instead of @name.
Using the new Xsls
Using the aspireToGSA7.xsl configuration file, Aspire will format and post the ACLs as follows:
UserACL
<principal namespace="Default" case-sensitivity-type="everything-case-insensitive" scope="user" access="permit">yourdomain\username</principal>
GroupACL
<principal namespace="Default" case-sensitivity-type="everything-case-insensitive" scope="group" access="permit">yourdomain\groupname</principal>
Properties
| Attribute | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| namespace | string | Default | Ensure that access to secure documents is maintained unambiguously. Aspire by default will index all ACLs into the Default namespace. |
| case-sensitivity-type | string | everything-case-insensitive | Whether or not the ACLs should be treated as case sensitive. |
| scope | string | user / group | Tells the GSA whether the ACL is a user or a group, Aspire will set the value accordingly. |
| access | string | permit / deny | Tells the GSA whether the ACL is allowing or denying access to the document. Aspire will set the value accordingly. |
