Configure the URL for the community application - IBM Connections

The instructions for deploying the IBM Connections portlets include a procedure to configure the resource environment provider. If you did not complete that procedure, you must at least configure the community URL in order to use community pages. For best results, follow the procedures provided in the IBM Connections documentation.

Create a custom property that stores the URL for the IBM Connections server. The URL must include the port number and specify the HTTPS protocol.

1. On the portal, log on to the WAS admin console.

2. Click Resources > Resource Environment > Resource Environment Providers.

3. Click WP ConnectionsIntegrationService.

4. Under Additional Properties, click Custom Properties.

5. Click globalBaseURL, and update the value to the URL of the IBM Connections server.

   For example:

   https://www.example.com:9444
   

6. If the communities service is running on a different server than the server identified by the globalBaseURL property, add the communitiesURL property. For the value of the property, specify the URL of the communities service. This URL must include the port number and specify the HTTPS protocol.

   For example:

   https://www.communities.example.com:9444
   

7. If the communities service is not using the default context root (/communities), add the communitiesContextRoot property. For the value of the property, specify the context root used by the communities service.

   For example: /mycontext/communities.
