We have the Google Mini (smaller version of the Google Search Appliance) and haven't had any major issues with it. There was just a XSS vulnerability that was fixed. One thing we are working on is trying to deny access to cached documents. You can turn off the Cached link option but you can still get at cached documents by making adjustments to the URL. The mailing list is pretty helpful - http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Mini <http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Mini> I'd love to hear if other have got it working with the Xythos OneBox Module - authenticating against a CAS server. -- John C.

Folks, I'm looking for comments and experience with campus Google search appliance deployment. Specifically: 1) Did you take any special security precautions in your deployment? 2) Have you had any security (or other) issues with it? Also, if you have done the integration work to use your campus authentication systems with it using Google's API, I'd be interested to hear about how the process went. If you have any general observations about your appliance, I'd be glad to hear those as well. Thanks! David
