Multi-Tiered Security Redundancy Longitude Connectors provide two tiers of security, to guarantee that users have access to only the content for which they are authorized. Index-level security ensures that search results are delivered with optimal speed, while optional real-time security checking ensures that all security and permissions changes are reflected in search results.

Automated Mapping of Users and Groups to Active Directory Longitude enables the scheduled import and mapping of AD users and groups with any connected system, so even rapidly-changing user profiles and permissions-architectures can be synchronized between enterprise systems.

Pre-Deployment Performance Testing Longitude Connector enables 'simulated' crawls, which provides the administrator the ability to test the impact of any configuration change, and see the result as the simulated crawls runs.

Secure Replication of Data Into SharePoint Lists & Libraries Connector delivers a feature that allows organizations to replicate content from any source repository into a SharePoint site, SharePoint list or SharePoint document library. The replication preserves the integrity of the source data, and allows administrators to apply appropriate governance over legacy content via SharePoint.

 

Longitude enables the instant, fully-formatted preview of any and all content returned in a search, regardless of its file-format or source location. Full hit-highlighting and a dynamic graphical hit-map make assessing the relevance of these search results swift and efficient, while a fully-integrated, Silverlight-driven workspace empowers knowledge workers to act upon relevant search results with speed and precision.

SharePoint 2010 ships with a framework called the Business Connectivity Services (BCS), which allows SharePoint developers to manually connect SharePoint 2010 or FAST to a variety of content management systems and databases. Though its use demands significant coding and scripting via Visual Studio 2010, the BCS is a powerful set of tools that enable organizations to extend the reach and scope of their SharePoint environment. One important detail to note, however, is that the BCS does not allow for the secure mapping of non-Active Directory (AD) security models to Microsoft AD architecture. This is quite a critical detail, especially in the context of enterprise search, where maintaining appropriate securities and permissions is vital. Download this Technical White Paper: Enterprise Connectors - Build vs. Buy (.pdf).

Longitude Connectors take the BCS framework to the next level by enabling the automatic and seamless mapping of any source-system security model to Active Directory, and updating that mapping in real-time. Longitude's wizard-based setup and dynamic Test Bench let administrators evaluate all proposed configurations prior to deployment, making connecting to back-end systems faster, more resource efficient, and more secure than any other method.
