How the AAC Works with GSA

The All Access Connector is a suite of Java applications containing methods and classes that Google's connector manager calls to perform the tasks of acquiring documents from a content system and authenticates andauthorizes end users to view search results

Common Steps: 1. The GSA provides a feed interface from which

the search appliance receives documents to index.

• The AAC communicates with the search appliance over HTTP and with the connectors, and creates feed sources from the documents, metadata, and URLs from a content management system (CMS).

• The AAC creates instances of a connector through its service provider interface (SPI) and then calls the classes and methods of the connector to perform work.

• The connector communicates through the API to the CMS to acquire documents, metadata on each document, and a URLs that point to a document's location in the content management system.

• The connector communicates through the API over HTTP to the web client on the content management system.

• A CMS also provides a content server that stores documents in a storage system known as a repository.
