Confluence - Autonomy (IDOL) Security Connector

The Confluence – IDOL Security Connector integrates Atlassian’s Confluence and Autonomy’s IDOL Search using Active Directory (or LDAP) authentication. Enabling search and access to only those Confluence pages, documents (including Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF formats), blog posts, news articles, emails and attachments for which authorisation has been allowed through Active Directory or LDAP.

The connector takes the form of a custom Confluence plug-in, which:

  • Extracts all indexable content within Confluence.
  • Maintains the correct access (security) rights.
  • Sends the content to be indexed by IDOL in real-time.

Confluence content can then be securely searched immediately using Autonomy’s powerful search capabilities.
Business benefits delivered by the Confluence - Autonomy (IDOL) Security Connector include:

  • Greatly improved productivity as employees are able to find the documents they need quickly.
  • Enables all content to be searched including Confluence pages, documents (including Word, Excel and PDFs), blog posts, news articles, emails and attachments by Autonomy IDOL search.
  • The correct access rights (security) are maintained, ensuring that individuals are only able to see those Confluence pages, documents, emails and attachments for which they have authorisation.
  • New content is indexed by Autonomy’s IDOL in real-time and is therefore immediately available.
  • No manual intervention is required unless a full re-index of content is to be carried out.
  • Can be accessed via Autonomy's Universal Search application.
