crawler.allow_concurrent_in_crawl_form_interaction
Background
This experimental option allows concurrent form interaction processes to be prevented which may work around problems in some web single sign-on environments.
When using in-crawl form interaction the web crawler normally processes required form interaction while fetching the page which requires it, which may mean that multiple in-crawl form interaction processes occur concurrently.
In some web authentication environments this may pose a problem because the web crawler shares cookies between all crawler threads. For example, if a separate SSO authentication server relies on cookies to control the post-authentication return page, two parallel logins may not behave as expected.
Please note that the locking necessary to prevent concurrent form interaction may have a detrimental effect on web crawler scalability/performance.
| this option is experimental it may be subject to major changes without backwards compatibility in future versions of Funnelback. |
