Security
Is SearchUnify a single-tenant or a multi-tenant solution?
SearchUnify is a single-tenant solution. Each customer has their own independent instance of SearchUnify, which secures their index.
Does SearchUnify store any data in middleware?
SearchUnify stores encrypted access/refresh tokens for content sources (Lithium, Salesforce, Jive etc). These credentials are stored to synchronize the content in the SearchUnify index.
How does SearchUnify ensure that the content sources’ authentication information is secure?
All the authentication access tokens/refresh tokens stored in the middleware are encrypted using AES-256 encryption algorithm.
Which content objects will be accessed by SearchUnify?
It depends upon what content needs to be made searchable via SearchUnify. For example, in a Lithium community, SearchUnify supports searching ideas, discussions, blogs etc. So, these content pieces will be stored in the search index.
Which API is used to connect with the content sources?
SearchUnify uses the standard platform REST APIs on SSL for all the content sources. For websites, Apache based crawlers are used to crawl the websites and index the content.
Does SearchUnify upgrade automatically with SAAS based content source upgrade releases?
SearchUnify automatically updates its crawlers whenever there is a release upgrade of any of the SaaS based content source.
Do SearchUnify results respect the access level for content?
