Operation name: Registersecuritytrimmer

Description

Enterprise Search in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 performs security trimming of search results at query time. The results are trimmed based on the identity of the user submitting the query, by using the security information obtained from the crawler. However, there are certain scenarios in which the built-in security trimming results are not sufficient for your requirements and you need to implement custom security trimming. Enterprise Search provides support for custom security trimming through the ISecurityTrimmer interface. For example, say you have a Windows NT security model on your Human Resources database that only allows users access between the hours of 9:00 A.M. and 5:00 P.M. There is not a way to express that in an Access Control List (ACL), so instead, you would implement a custom security trimmer which implements this logic.

Also, if the ACL information changes in real time, the ACL read at crawl time is considered not current. Consequently, the security picture is invalid. A dynamic security check through a custom security trimmer at query processing time will return documents based on the current ACL picture.

Once a security trimmer is registered a full crawl of all the content that is specified by the rulepath parameter is required.

Syntax

**   -id <ID number>**
