Alfresco

Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon Kendra console.

From the left navigation pane, choose Indexes and then choose the index you want to use from the list of indexes.

On the Getting started page, choose Add data source.

On the Add data source page, choose Alfresco connector, and then choose Add connector. If using version 2 (if applicable), choose Alfresco connector with the "V2.0" tag.

On the Specify data source details page, enter the following information:

1. In Name and description, for Data source name—Enter a name for your data source. You can include hyphens but not spaces.

2. (Optional) Description—Enter an optional description for your data source.

3. In Default language—Choose a language to filter your documents for the index. Unless you specify otherwise, the language defaults to English. Language specified in the document metadata overrides the selected language.

4. In Tags, for Add new tag—Include optional tags to search and filter your resources or track your AWS costs.

5. Choose Next.

On the Define access and security page, enter the following information:

1. Alfresco type—Choose whether you use Alfresco On-Premises/server or Alfresco Cloud (Platform as a Service).

2. Alfresco repository URL—Enter your Alfresco repository URL. For example, if you use Alfresco Cloud (PaaS), the repository URL could be https://company.alfrescocloud.com. Or, if you use Alfresco On-Premises, the repository URL could be https://company-alfresco-instance.company-domain.suffix:port.

3. Alfresco user application. URL—Enter your Alfresco user interface URL. You can get the repository URL from your Alfresco administrator. For example, the user interface URL could be https://example.com.

4. SSL certificate location—Enter the path to the SSL certificate stored in an Amazon S3 bucket. You use this to connect to Alfresco On-Premises with a secure SSL connection.

5. Authorization—Turn on or off access control list (ACL) information for your documents, if you have an ACL and want to use it for access control. The ACL specifies which documents that users and groups can access. The ACL information is used to filter search results based on the user or their group access to documents. For more information, see User context filtering.

6. Authentication—Choose Basic authentication or OAuth 2.0 authentication. Then choose an existing Secrets Manager secret or create a new secret to store your Alfresco credentials. If you choose to create a new secret, an AWS Secrets Manager secret window opens.

   If you chose Basic authentication, enter a name for the secret, the Alfresco user name, and password.

   If you chose OAuth 2.0 authentication, enter a name for the secret, client ID, client secret, and token URL.

7. Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)—You can choose to use a VPC. If so, you must add Subnets and VPC security groups.

8. Identity crawler—Specify whether to turn on Amazon Kendra’s identity crawler. The identity crawler uses the access control list (ACL) information for your documents to filter search results based on the user or their group access to documents. If you have an ACL for your documents and choose to use your ACL, you can then also choose to turn on Amazon Kendra’s identity crawler to configure user context filtering of search results. Otherwise, if identity crawler is turned off, all documents can be publicly searched. If you want to use access control for your documents and identity crawler is turned off, you can alternatively use the PutPrincipalMapping API to upload user and group access information for user context filtering.

9. IAM role—Choose an existing IAM role or create a new IAM role to access your repository credentials and index content.

   Note

   IAM roles used for indexes cannot be used for data sources. If you are unsure if an existing role is used for an index or FAQ, choose Create a new role to avoid errors.

10. Choose Next.

On the Configure sync settings page, enter the following information:

1. Sync scope—Set limits for crawling certain content and filter content using regex expression patterns.

2. 1. Content—Choose whether to crawl content marked with 'Aspects' in Alfresco, content within a specific Alfresco site, or content across all your Alfresco sites.

   2. (Optional)Additional configuration—Set the following settings:

      • Include comments—Choose to include comments in Alfresco Document library and Blog.

      • Regex patterns—Regular expression patterns to include or exclude certain files.

3. Sync mode—Choose how you want to update your index when your data source content changes. When you sync your data source with Amazon Kendra for the first time, all content is crawled and indexed by default. You must run a full sync of your data if your initial sync failed, even if you don't choose full sync as your sync mode option.

   • Full sync: Freshly index all content, replacing existing content each time your data source syncs with your index.

   • New, modified, deleted sync: Index only new, modified, and deleted content each time your data source syncs with your index. Amazon Kendra can use your data source's mechanism for tracking content changes and index content that changed since the last sync.

4. In Sync run schedule, for Frequency—Choose how often to sync your data source content and update your index.

5. Choose Next.

On the Set field mappings page, enter the following information:

1. Select from the Amazon Kendra generated default data source fields that you want to map to your index.

2. To add custom data source fields, create an index field name to map to and the field data type.

3. Choose Next.

On the Review and create page, check that the information you have entered is correct and then select Add data source. You can also choose to edit your information from this page. Your data source will appear on the Data sources page after the data source has been added successfully.
