The Configure OTDS Integration Settings Content Server installation page, which OpenText recommends you do not access after completing your Content Server installation, contains the following:

  1. From the Server Type list, choose whether your OTDS installation is an internal or an external installation.

    The next fields that appear on this page depend on your selection in this field.

    1. If you selected “External OTDS Server” in 1, you will see the following:

      1. The Server URL box. A value in this box is required if you are setting up an external OTDS installation. You need to enter the host name (or IP address) and port of your OTDS server. For example, enter http://MyOtdsServer.corp.com:8080

      2. The Resource ID box. A value in this box is required if you are setting up an external OTDS installation. You need to enter the Resource Identifier of the OTDS Resource that has been set up for use with Content Server. An example of a resource ID is: dba563af-b01d-4f88-bc42-2493c97dbc87.

      3. You can choose to click Test Settings to confirm that the URL entered in the OTDS Server URL box is valid.

         

        Note

        Note:
        The connection test does not check whether the OpenText Directory Server is configured properly with Content Server. It only checks that the URL provided in the OTDS Server URL box is valid.

         

    2. If you selected “Internal OTDS Server” in 1, you will see the following:

      1. The JDBC URL box. A value in this box is required if you are setting up an internal OTDS installation. You need to provide the direction to the database that was set up for your OTDS server.

        For example, if you are using an SQL server database, enter jdbc:sqlserver://MyOtdsServer.corp.com;databaseName=livelink

         

        Important

        Important:
        You must take care when entering values to the three JDBC boxes. These values cannot be validated at the time you enter them. Any error in one of these three values will result in errors in the OTDS logs.

         

      2. The JDBC Username box. A value in this box is required if you are setting up an internal OTDS installation. Type the userid of a user with the required privileges to access the database that you entered in 1.b.i.

      3. The JDBC Password box. A value in this box is required if you are setting up an internal OTDS installation. Type the password for the userid that you entered in 1.b.ii.

      4. The HTTP Port, HTTPS Port, and Stop Port boxes. A value in each port box in the Jetty Parameters area is required if you are setting up an internal OTDS installation.

      5. Optionally, when setting up an internal OTDS installation, you can choose to configure the internal OTDS Server to use a security certificate of your choice, rather than the default, self-signed certificate.

        You do so by entering the Java key store parameters in the Jetty HTTPS Configuration area. You will need to enter values to the Java Key Store, Java Key Store Password, and Java Key Manager Password boxes.

  2. Optionally, you can choose to enable Set OTDS login URL if you want to explicitly set the OTDS URL to which users should be redirected, enter that URL in this field.

    If you have structured either a proxy or a containerized environment, then you will need to ensure that the Login URL box contains that URL. If you do not have either a proxy or a containerized environment, then you do not need to enable this setting.

    The following are two examples of the format of the URL that you will enter to this field:

    • https://servername.domain.com

    • https://servername.domain.com:8443

    You may need to put the port number after the base URL depending on how you set up your proxy.
