crawl confluence with GSA

Question

Hi,

We try to index confluence with a Google Search Appliance. After many tries, we haven't problems with the crawl when annonymous access is activated. Is there an issue to crawl confluence with a restricted access ? Our wiki contains many critical information and we don't want activate annonymous access for crawling.

Regards,

Olivier

Thanks for your response Nic, but there is a big difference between anonymous crawling and authenticated crawling. Based on the tests I have maid, my GSA couldn't login to confluence for crawling with a restricted access. I search an issue for configuring GSA to login into confluence.

Olivier

Not really, I've done it before.  Frankly, if anonymous access is working, then crawling with a restricted user ID is going to work fine too.  Just make sure your user really does only have "view" and absolutely no other access.
