Re: Campus Google search appliance deployments

["John J. Culkin" <culkinj3 () SCRANTON EDU>]

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

I'd love to hear if other have got it working with the Xythos OneBox
Module - authenticating against a CAS server.
