Inserting a link to remote content
You can insert links to remote content into elements that contain a rich text field by using the Insert Link to Remote Document button in the rich text editor. Only remote content that is configured remote server access can be selected by using this button.
Before you begin
The Insert Link to Remote Document function requires the modularized theme and works only if the wp_federated_documents_picker is part of the profile. You must also set up support for federated documents.
About this task
Procedure
Click Insert Link to Remote Document,
and use the wizard to select a document.
To connect
to a remote server, you identify the server and the authentication
method that is used to access the server. You can either select a
predefined server or enter the server URL directly. By default, no
predefined servers are configured, but an administrator can add servers
to the list. To authenticate with a server, there are several available
methods:
- If single sign-on is configured between the remote server and the portal, you can connect with the current user.
- You can enter a user ID and password for the remote server.
- You can select a credential vault slot that is associated with the server. Credential vault slots are set up by an administrator and enable users to log in without credentials.
