Funnelback patch 15.16.0.3
-
Released: 2018-08-31
-
Applies to: v15.16.0
-
Internal reference: SUPPORT-2717 FUN-3115
Description
-
Adds an option to padre-iw to allow control of how the lock string should be modified. The option is "-lock_string_mod_mode=[legacy raw]". By default it is set to "legacy" and that keeps the current behaviour of modifying the lockstring. The "raw" option results in padre-iw not altering the lock string; leaving in white space, new lines and commas.
-
Adds an experimental DLS plugin called "secBoolExpr" which is able to evaluate lockstrings which are boolean expression. For example, a lockstring where the user must have both B and C or A can be represented as "A,(B AND C)" or "A | (B&C)". This lockstring is evaluated as a boolean expression where the user keys are what is true in the expression. For example, if the user had "B" and "C" then they would be able to view that document. To enable the plugin set in collection.cfg "security.earlybinding.locks-keys-matcher.name=secBoolExpr" and set "-lock_string_mod_mode=raw" on the indexer.
