Set up predefined IBM Connection servers
Configure integration with files is similar to configuring other federated documents. we must specify the remote server URL, a display name, and the supported interface type of the remote server.
To specify the values, add custom properties. Each property includes a suffix. The value of the suffix is used to group related properties for each server. Use the same suffix value for properties related to the same server. The suffix can be any value if it is unique across the property keys.

We can also add more properties, such as:
- wp.federated.documents.ic_personalized_sc.nls.resources
- Value: The name of the resource bundle containing the translated title and description used to identify this source server in the user interface. If not defined, the default title is used. If no default title and no resource bundle are defined, the value of the wp.federated.documents.ic_personalized_sc.url property is used in the user interface.
- wp.federated.documents.ic_personalized_sc.vault.slot
- Value: The name of the credential vault slot that stores the credentials used for authentication with the remote server. Credential vault slots are set up and managed by the portal administrator. This property defines the default credential vault slot that is predefined in the user interface, although the user can also select a different slot if one is available. If not defined, the user interface does not display a default credential vault slot, but we can still select a slot from the available list. Optional.
The credential vault slot must contain the credentials required for authentication with the remote server.
- wp.federated.documents.ic_personalized_sc.override.authentication.enabled
- Value: true or false. When set to true, the user can change the authentication method for the server in the user interface. When set to false, the user interface does not display the field to change the authentication method. Default is true.
