Insert Link to Remote Document
Only remote content configured with remote server access can be selected using this button.
This function requires the modularized theme, and works only if the wp_federated_documents_picker is part of the profile.
Click Insert Link to Remote Document, and use the wizard panels to select a document.
To connect to a remote server, identify the server and the authentication method used to access the server. We can either select a predefined server or enter the server URL directly. By default, no predefined servers are configured, but an administrator can add servers to the list. Authentication methods include:
- If single sign-on is configured between the remote server and the portal, we can connect with the current user.
- We can enter a user ID and password for the remote server.
- We can select a credential vault slot associated with the server. Credential vault slots are set up by an administrator and enable users to log in without credentials.
If we access the remote server with a user ID and password, a temporary credential vault slot is created to store and manage authentication data. When we close the wizard, the temporary credential vault slot is automatically deleted. However, if we do not close the wizard explicitly, the temporary credential vault slot cannot be deleted. For example, this situation can occur if you close the browser window before after completing the wizard. Any temporary credential vault slots that are not used for at least 3 hours are removed by a cleanup task (com.ibm.portal.cmis.TransientSlotCleanupTask) that runs once a day. An administrator can change the schedule of the cleanup task through xmlaccess.sh.
