crawler.form_interaction.in_crawl.[groupId].cleartext.[urlParameterKey]

Background

Specifies a form parameter for in-crawl authentication. Form parameters set using this option will be stored within the collection configuration in clear-text and also be visible when viewing the parameter in the administration interface.

This setting should be used to pass any non-sensitive form parameters.

This setting can also be set to a special keyword funnelback_force_blank_value which causes the parameter to be submitted but with an empty value.

There is also an option that can be used to set sensitive values such as passwords. see: crawler.form_interaction.in_crawl.[groupId].encrypted.[urlParameterKey]

Configuration parameters for a rule are grouped using a [GROUP_ID] value common across all settings that make up the rule (group ID must be a number).

This setting is used in conjunction with the crawler.form_interaction.in_crawl.[groupId].url_pattern key.

Setting the key

Set this configuration key in the search package or data source configuration.

Use the configuration key editor to add or edit the crawler.form_interaction.in_crawl.[groupId].cleartext.[urlParameterKey] key, and set the value. This can be set to any valid String value.

Default value

None.

Examples

Specify two form parameters, username=john and remember-me=true, to be passed as parameters any forms encountered that have an action of https://www.funnelback.com/login.jsp.

crawler.form_interaction.in_crawl.1.url_pattern=https://www.funnelback.com/login.jsp
crawler.form_interaction.in_crawl.1.cleartext.remember-me=true
crawler.form_interaction.in_crawl.1.cleartext.username=john
