Destination - CMIS
The CMIS Destination Type supports connection to a CMIS-compliant server, which can be located on-premise or in the cloud. CMIS supports standard and Windows authentication for on-premise servers, and OAuth2 authentication to connect to the Alfresco cloud.
To ensure that released documents have the correct version number, make sure that the CMIS versioning feature and search field is enabled. If a document is found by a search property and versioning is enabled, a new version of the document is created. If a document is found by a search property and versioning is not enabled, the released document replaces the old one. However, if a document is submitted without the search field, the CMIS destination attempts to create a new document and will fail if a document already exists.
The General tab has the following fields when you select CMIS as the Destination Type.
- Name
-
The name of the destination, which is visible in the destination selection list when you create shortcuts. The name must be unique on the server.
- Current User / Enter Credentials

If connecting to an on-premise CMIS server, specify one of the following authentication methods to access the destination:
-
Current User: Uses the credentials (User ID/Password) for the currently logged in Kofax Front Office Server user.
-
Enter Credentials: Uses credentials that differ from the currently logged in Kofax Front Office Server user, based on the following:
- User ID
-
User ID for the account that has permission to access the CMIS server.
