The WcmApiConfig.properties file stores information for communication between an application such as Workplace XT and Content Engine servers, plus the credentials protection scheme that the application uses when sending data between the application server and the Content Engine server.
The initial entries are created during installation.
By default, the file is installed in the following location:
<install_location>/FileNet/WebClient/WorkplaceXT/WEB-INFWcmApiConfig.properties consists of the following information:
RemoteServerURL identifies the URL of the connected Content Engine. For example,
RemoteServerUrl = cemp:iiop://CEserver:2809/FileNet/Engine
Modify this property only if the name or port of the Content Engine server to which you are connecting changes.
RemoteServerUploadUrl specifies a separate Content Engine for uploading content, if one is configured. For example,
RemoteServerUploadUrl = cemp:iiop://CEserver:2809/FileNet/Engine
Modify this only if the Content Engine server you want to use for content uploads is different from the Content Engine server specified in RemoteServerURL, or the name of the Content Engine server to which you are connecting changes.
RemoteServerDownloadUrl specifies a separate Content Engine server for downloads, if one is configured. For example,
RemoteServerDownloadUrl = cemp:iiop://CEserver:2809/FileNet/Engine
Modify this only if the Content Engine server you want to use for content downloads is different from the Content Engine server specified in RemoteServerURL, or the name of the Content Engine server to which you are connecting changes.
CredentialsProtection identifies the user credentials security scheme. The value can be either clear or symmetric. The default is clear encryption. To generate user tokens, set this option to symmetric. For more information, see User Tokens in Developer Help.
This property is used for container-managed authentication. The installation program initially sets this value, and you should not update it.
If you are developing a custom application that uses container managed authentication, see User Tokens in Developer Help.
