    Installation and Configuration
    Microsoft Loop Connector

    IntroductionPermanent link for this heading

    The Microsoft Loop Connector can be used to index Microsoft Loop pages with their metadata and content. The Loop Connector works differently compared to other connectors. To index Loop, a Loop Sitemap Generator is created, which then provides a sitemap. This sitemap is then crawled by a Web Connector configured specifically for Loop.

    For more information, please see the chapter Limitations.

    Configuration of Microsoft LoopPermanent link for this heading

    Providing a Microsoft Loop UserPermanent link for this heading

    • Create a new user in Microsoft Loop that can be used in the Mindbreeze Microsoft Loop Sitemap Generator to create a Microsoft Loop sitemap. The user must have access to all the content that is to be indexed.

    Configuration of MindbreezePermanent link for this heading

    In the Mindbreeze Management Center, open the ‘Configuration’ section to configure the Microsoft Loop Sitemap Generator and the Microsoft Loop Principal Resolution Service.

    Configuration of the Microsoft Loop Sitemap GeneratorPermanent link for this heading

    Add a new service in the tab “Indices” with “+Add Service”. Then select “Microsoft Loop Sitemap Generator” for the setting “Service” in the new service.

    Now configure the Microsoft Loop Sitemap Generator with the settings in the section “Connection Settings”.

    Connection SettingsPermanent link for this heading

    Setting

    Description

    Example/Default Setting

    User Credentials*

    Specifies the Crawling User for Microsoft Loop.

    Example:

    Loop Mindbreeze User

    Bind Port*

    The port where the created sitemap is available.

    Example:

    23950

    Sitemap Generation Interval (Minutes)

    Defines the interval in which a new sitemap is generated.

    Default Setting:

    60

    Page Size
    (Advanced Settings)

    Defines the number of objects that are fetched simultaneously from Microsoft Loop.

    Default Setting:

    100

    Log All Requests
    (Advanced Settings)

    Is this option activated, all requests against Microsoft Loop are written to the “request-log.csv” log file, as long as the login is successful.

    Default Setting:

    Deactivated

    * = These settings must be configured so that the Sitemap Generator works and is built. All other settings must be configured according to the use case.

    Settings marked with „(Advanced Settings)“ require the activation of „Advanced Settings“ in the configuration. These settings are only necessary in special cases.

    Configuration of the Microsoft Loop Principal Resolution ServicePermanent link for this heading

    Add a new service in the tab “Indices” with “+Add Service”. Then select “Microsoft Loop Principal Resolution Service” for the setting “Service” in the new service.

    Now configure the Microsoft Loop Principal Resolution Service with the settings in the section “Connection Settings”.

    Hint: For more information about the creation, basic configuration of a cache for a Principal Resolution Service and other configuration options, see Installation & Configuration - Caching Principal Resolution Service.

    Connection SettingsPermanent link for this heading

    Setting

    Description

    Example/Default Setting

    User Credentials*

    Specifies the Crawling User for Microsoft Loop.

    Example:

    Loop Mindbreeze User

    Page Size
    (Advanced Settings)

    Defines the number of objects that are fetched simultaneously from Microsoft Loop.

    Default Setting:

    100

    Log All Requests
    (Advanced Settings)

    Is this option activated, all requests against Microsoft Loop are written to the “request-log.csv” log file, as long as the login is successful.

    Default Setting:

    Deactivated

    * = These settings must be configured so that the Sitemap Generator works and is built. All other settings must be configured according to the use case.

    Settings marked with „(Advanced Settings)“ require the activation of „Advanced Settings“ in the configuration. These settings are only necessary in special cases.

    Configuration of the IndexPermanent link for this heading

    Add a new index in the tab “Indices” with “+Add Index”. Select the desired “Index Node” and “Client Service” and select “Web” as “Data Source”. Then confirm your entries with “Apply”.

    Setup of the Web ConnectorPermanent link for this heading

    To set up the Web Connector, you can copy the Config XML from the Web Connector Import/Export XML section and import it using the Import/Export button:

    In addition, the following changes are also necessary:

    1. Link the crawler to the Microsoft Loop Principal Resolution Service. To do this, select the added Microsoft Loop Principal Resolution Service in the setting “Caching Principal Resolution Service”.

    1. Furthermore, the port specified for the setting “Crawling Root” must match the configured “Bind Port” of the Microsoft Loop Sitemap Generator.

    1. Finally, the credential of the Loop User must be added to the configured “Credential Scripts” for the two scripts “MS Login Username” and “MS Login Password”. Activate “Advanced Settings” to add or edit “Credential Scripts”.

    AppendixPermanent link for this heading

    LimitationsPermanent link for this heading

    The following limitations should be noted:

    Only workspaces to which the specified Loop User has access, can be indexed.

    The Loop Sitemap Generator can only process up to a maximum of 1000 workspaces.

    A workspace may contain a maximum of 1000 users.

    Web Connector Import/Export XMLPermanent link for this heading

    The following XML can be used for setting up the web connector, among other things. For more information, see the chapter Setup of the Web Connector.
