Main Settings (Web Content Source)

To learn about content sources, click here.

To specify the security information required to access this Web site and to specify whether this content source uses the gateway:

1. Under Target Site Security, specify the security information required to access this Web site:

1. In the Username box, type the name of the user that this portal will impersonate to access content from this Web site.
   
   Note: Users that have access to this content source necessarily have access to everything to which the specified user has access.

2. In the Password box, type the password for the user you entered in Step 1a.

3. In the Confirm Password box, type the same password you entered in Step 1b.

2. Crawlers only import links to documents; the documents themselves are left in their original locations. Under URL Type, specify what happens when users follow these links:

• By default, the crawlers that use this data source do not use the gateway to open documents; users are directed to the Web address of the document. Be warned, however, that with this option, even users with access to this content source's documents will not be able to open the documents if they are not connected to your network and the document resides in a secured Web site.

• If you want instead to redirect users to a URL (generated by the settings in your portal configuration file) that, in turn, displays the document, choose Uses the gateway to open documents. This allows users to view documents they might not otherwise be able to view, either due to security on the source repository or firewall restrictions. If you want your users to be able to view documents even when they are not connected to your network, you should choose this option.

3. If the crawlers that use this content source use the gateway, under Choose Web Service, associate a Content Crawler Web Service with this content source:

• To associate an existing Content Crawler Web Service, click Browse; then, in the Choose a Web Service dialog box, choose a Content Crawler Web Service and click OK.
  
  If you choose the wrong Web Service, click Browse again and correct your selection.

• To remove the association, click Remove.

• To edit the associated Content Crawler Web Service, click its name.
