Staff plug-in provider settings

Use this panel to modify the settings for a staff plug-in provider.

Staff plug-ins are used to get information from a directory of users. Each staff plug-in provider is registered with the runtime environment by specifying a name and a Java archive (JAR) file containing the plug-in. A configuration file in the JAR file defines the class name, which represents the plug-in as well as the properties for the plug-in.

To view this administrative console page, first click Resources > Staff plug-in provider. You will see a table that lists all staff plug-in providers that have the scope indicated.

Normally, staff plug-in providers are only defined with Node scope. The scope of the staff plug-in providers that are displayed in the table is indicated by an arrow to a selected radio button for Cell, Node, or Server scope. To view staff plug-in providers with a different scope, select the radio button for the desired scope and click Apply.

To view or modify the configuration for a staff plug-in and any custom properties that it has, click on the name of the plug-in, staffpluginprovider_name.
