Before You Begin

Creating a collection takes a little planning and preparation. You need to know which documents to include, how to tell the application to access the documents so that they can be indexed, and who the audience is for the collection.

The content processor works by first crawling the web or file server, so you will need a site map file to tell the application where the documents are. If the documents are secured, you will also need to include authentication information. And you might also need information to supply form data, cookies, or proxy server information.

Note: You can't use a javascript password to authenticate the content processor.
