Indexing and Updating Properties

acl "uri=/publisher/";
allow (read, execute, list, info) user = anyone;
allow (write, delete) user = owner;
This ACL sets a restriction such that only the owner of a file within the
additional document directory of
/publisher
can modify or delete the file.
For more information about setting access control, see “Restricting Access to
Your Web Site,” on page 334 in Chapter 14, “Controlling Access to Your
Server.”
Note
For Unix, if you expect web publishing users to publish documents to a
directory, you need to set the Unix file permissions to give them write access to
that directory. You should also disable write permissions for directories you do
not want them to publish to.
Indexing and Updating Properties
Before users can perform a search across a set of documents and directories,
information about the documents and directories needs to be indexed into the
web publishing database. The web publishing database is stored as a search
collection and is created as part of the server installation process. Initially it
contains no data and must be populated by indexing the documents in the
document directories.
The Web Publisher page lists the files and folders that are in the document
directory selected when a user starts up Web Publisher, but the data initially is
not indexed (and therefore is not available for searching) and the files have no
owners (so anyone can define their username as the owner of a file, and
thereby be able to set the access control for a file).
You can use the Index and Update Properties page (choose Web Publishing
and click the Index and Update Properties link) to perform bulk indexing of
documents to create searchable web publishing data and you can also use it to
do a bulk assignment of owner for the files included in the collection. You can
restrict or expand the scope of documents and directories to be indexed, and
you can index just the file properties, called
metadata , or you can also index
the documents’ contents. If you choose to index the contents of the files, you
can search on any word in the documents although publishing and uploading
files with Web Publisher may be slightly slower.
