If you probably using “Search Unification” capability in Google Search Appliance, you may notice that when you pass the HTTP login form of GSA (built-in security manager), you may have prompted by the dialog box for reentering credentials. The quick answer is go to Serving>Access Control, and change the “Challenge users with HTTP Basic Authentication” to never. p.s. Beware of your security policies.

Recently, I was dealing with one of our customers who had problem using Google Search Appliance (GSA) for serving secured contents to users. The scenario is as below: The repository was a proprietary CMS written explicitly by one of their vendors. It uses NTLM for authentication and it uses Java servlet to serve contents. GSA successfully crawled all the document (obvious from crawl diagnostic section), however, the contents could not be shown in the serving page to the users. As the contents were secured, users is asked about their credentials first, and GSA sends a batch of...
Today for the first time I configured the box to use GSA authentication for serving the secured data. Previously our customer used NTLM for authentication. While I was configuring the section under Administration->LDAP setup I encountered a weird exception. It raised a “javax.naming.authenticationexception” with the error code of 49. After some Googling I finally found out that instead of a loooong Distinguished Name (DN) like uid=username,ou=op1,dc=ld,dc=corp,dc=com we should use it in a email address format as follow: username@ld.corp.com where ld.corp.com is the LDAP server address.

I just want to announce this key feature in GSA version 6.0. It is accompanied with a new Administrative APIs -which is now in Beta version- and includes .net and Java. Now, by using these libraries, you don’t need to use GSA admin console and perhaps you may develop your own interface and do some automation in your search configurations. You can access them here and here. del.icio.us Tags: Search,GSA,API
I just got a new email that directed me to new GSA version which is 6.0. There are lots of new functionalities in this version. The main key elements are: Now by using a new technology called (GSA)n , companies can distribute results in different GSAs and integrate search results’ serving across geographic and department locations. By integrating search results, they test crawling and serving up to 1 billion documents. There is an Index Replication functionality, that works when one GSA is down, so that...
Recently I had an opportunity to work on one these search appliances from Google. These appliances as they call it GSA [Website] are similar to all hardware appliances. GSA’s main usage is for so called enterprise search and helps companies to crawl and index their corporate data stored (or lost) in all over the corporation network and serve them to related departments. In their website they mention that it uses Google famous algorithm for searching the web but it is customized for enterprise search. A cute thing about this box is that it is completely...
