Prefix: Domain Map

The Global ACL Sync Map is used by content crawlers bringing security settings, in the form of Access Control Lists (ACLs), into your portal along with documents. The Prefix: Domain Map (along with the Portal: External Group Map) shows content crawlers how the users and groups found on source document ACLs correspond with portal users and groups. Using this information, a content crawler can set portal security on imported content. For an example-based explanation of this process, click here.

Every authentication source has a prefix. This prefix is used to distinguish the users and groups imported through the authentication source. If you plan to import security information with imported content, you might need to map your authentication source prefixes to the source domains or map portal groups to external groups through the Global ACL Sync Map.

Note: If your authentication source prefix matches the domain name, the mapping occurs automatically and you do not need to add the mapping to this page.

To map authentication source prefixes to source domains, you can perform the following actions:

• To add a prefix to the map, click Add Mapping; then, in the Select Authentication Sources dialog box, select the authentication sources you want to map and click OK.
  
  Note: If more than one authentication source uses the same prefix, you only need to map one of the authentication sources.

• To edit the prefix in this mapping (this will not affect the prefix in the authentication source), in the Authentication Source Prefix column, click . In the text box that displays, edit the name, then click to save your change.

• To specify which domains map to a selected prefix, in the Domain Name column, click and, in the text box that displays, type the domains you want to map, separated by commas (,). Click to save the mapping.

• To remove a mapping, select the mapping and click .

• To select or clear all of the mapping check boxes, select or clear the box to the left of Authentication Source Prefix.

• To toggle the order in which the mappings are sorted, click Authentication Source Prefix or click the icon to the right of that— (sort ascending, a-z) or (sort descending, z-a).
