INTEGRATING ENTERPRISE SEARCH SYSTEMS WITH CUSTOM ACCESS CONTROL APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACES

摘要

Methods and computer-readable media are provided herein for integrating enterprise search systems with proprietary back-end content store access control APIs. A declarative metadata model is utilized to create and store data defining a custom API exposed by a back-end content store for retrieving access rights for documents stored therein. A normalized API for obtaining access rights for a document is also exposed. When a call is made to the normalized API, the stored data is utilized to transform the call to the normalized API into a call to the custom API.
