Connect via

In this list box, select a way that will be used for connecting to the server.

There are three ways available:

  • Web-service: if you select this option, the component will use the web services to access the server (version 7.x). This is the default option.

  • Desktop client: if you select this option, the component will use the Micro Focus Content Manager desktop client API to work with the server. In this case, make sure that the Micro Focus Content Manager client application has been installed on the host machine.

  • Web-service (v8.0-v8.2): if you select this option, the component will use web services to access the server (version 8.0 to 8.2).

Each connection way has its own set of options presented in the Server connection settings. When you select a way, its options are displayed on this tab.

Test connection

Click this button to test the connection to the server.

The following options are available for configuring when either Web-service or Web-service (v8.0-v8.2) is used for connection to the server.

Option

Description

Web service URL

In this field, enter the address of the web service of the database to which you want to connect. The address should represent the following string:

protocol://server:port/web service path

Where:
  • protocol is a protocol that will be used for connection to the service. Protocol can be omitted, in this case, the HTTP will be used by default.

  • server represents either a host machine name where the server is running, or its IP address. You can specify the machine name with its domain or without it.

  • port is a port number used by the web service. You can omit the port, in this case the component will use the default port number.

  • web service path is a path to the web service on the host machine.

The following examples provide you with sample references:

  • https://hptrim-71/trimws/trim.asmx

  • http://hptrim7.gael:80/demows/trim.asmx

  • 192.168.3.56/trimws/trim.asmx

Ignore invalid certificate

Select this check box to ignore errors when the user connects to the server using an invalid SSL server certificate.

This check box is available only when the Web Service URL has an HTTPS prefix.

Login name

Enter the name of the user account related to the Micro Focus Content Manager location.

You can specify only a name in this text box, or a name with its domain; for example,

  • Administrator
  • MAINDOM\Administrator
  • Sebastien.Letlen

This user account should be in the same domain with the Micro Focus Content Manager server.
Obtain password via RRT

Select this check box if you want to obtain the password from an RRT at run time.

Password

Enter the password to log in to the system. This field is available only when the Obtain password via RRT check box is cleared.

Password RRT

Enter an expression consisting of RRTs that will be replaced by the actual password at run time.

This field supports and returns values for encrypted by restricted RRTs. For more information, see Encrypted Field RRTs.

Timeout

Specify the connection timeout in seconds.

Server culture

Select a current language and state culture currently working on the server machine.

<Default> is a language and state culture on the host machine.

The component will use the value selected in this combo box for retrieving information on fields from the server and validating the entered data.

When you specify an RRT in this combo box, the component will not be able to retrieve data from the server necessary for validating field values specified by the user; therefore, the validation against the server culture will be skipped at configuring. Remember, if any of field values will not be of the admissible format, the documents will be rejected at run time.

The following options are available for configuring when the Desktop client is used for connection to the server.
