Error While creating Security Attributes (QueryFilterPlugin)

Question

Hi,
I am developing a QueryFilterPlugin. For this I need to define security attributes over documents fetched from remote repository(during crawl time). When I try to create a security attribute from an instance of DocumentAcl using method addSecurityAttribute("", "") I get following ProcessingException
EQG-31202: Security attribute not allowed in identity-based access control crawl.
What configurations should exist on SES before creating a security attribute.
Need help
Regards,
Shakti

Sorry about the delay in getting an answer on this...

It seems that your crawler manager class has to implement the "UserDefinedSecurityModel" interface. If it does that, then it will run in attribute-based security mode, whereas if it doesn't it will run in identity-based security mode.
<p>
So the declaration for your manager will look something like this:
<p>
<br>
public class MyCrawlerMgr implements CrawlerPluginManager, UserDefinedSecurityModel<br>
{<br>
...<br>
}<br>
<p>
See: javadoc

I raised doc bug 6666752 for this issue, since it's not at all well documented. Our apologies for the difficulty this has caused you!
