Configure Content Platform Engine server communication
to create or access content in a remote site without the need to mount file
system directories across the WAN between sites.
The local Content Platform Engine server will forward
content transfer requests to the remote server, which will upload or retrieve
the content to or from the replicas in its site.
Before you begin
Content Platform Engine server
communication requires that the object store is configured with an
advanced storage area, and that the advanced storage area is configured
to use cross-site replicas.
About this task
Perform the following procedure for each site that is participating
in the cross-site replication. The virtual server in each site must
be configured to use
Content Platform Engine server
communication.
Procedure
To configure Content Platform Engine server
communication for a site:
- In the administration console, access the virtual server
on which to configure Content Platform Engine server
communication.
- In the domain navigation pane, click the .
- Open the target site and click the folder.
- Click the virtual server that you want to configure.
- On the General tab, set the following
fields.
Server communication URL:
enter the web service endpoint URL. The URL uses the following format: protocol://server_name:port/wsi/FNCEWS40MTOM.
You
can use the http or https protocol. For a production environment,
it is recommended that you use https to encrypt communications between Content Platform Engine servers.
Server
communication certificate validation (optional): select
the Enabled check box. If this property is
enabled, this virtual server will perform host name and certificate
chain validation on this server's certificate.
- Click the Save button.
