Access content behind a firewall
The Web Clipping Portlet supports the creation of clipping portlets that can access content behind firewalls. We can configure the firewall options for a Web clipping portlet using the Modify firewall options page when you create a Web clipping portlet, or we can add these options later.
To create or modify a Web clipping portlet to use a firewall to access its content:
- Log in to the portal as a user that has access rights to create Web clipping portlets.
- Click...
Administration | Portlet Management | Web Clipping | New
- Enter the Web clipping portlet name and URL path
Select...
Advanced Options | Modify firewall options
- Select Use a proxy server and enter the remaining proxy information.
- When complete, click OK.
After finishing these steps, continue, as usual, to save the new or modified Web clipping portlet.
Refer to the Web Clipping help documentation for more information.
