l
Enable server security: Enable to add authentication to the REST server.
- When enabled, the same username and password (which cannot be blank) must be
entered in any remote Connect Designer that links to this Server. The Designer username
and password entries can be found under the "Preferences" on page768 sub-section of
the Designer Preferences dialog.
- When disabled, a username and password is not required to make REST request, and
tasks in PlanetPress Workflow do not require them in the Proxy tab. Nor would a
username and password be required on any remote Connect Designer that links to this
Server.
l
Administrator's username: Enter the username for the server security. The default
username is ol-admin.
l
Administrator's password: Enter a password for the server security. The default
password is secret.
l
Confirm password: Re-enter the password for the server security.
l
Default session length (min): Enter a session time (in minutes) that the authentication
stays valid for the requested process. This can reduce the number of requests to the
server since an authentication request is not necessary during the session.
Connect: a peek under the hood
Connect consists of visible and invisible parts.
The visible parts are the tools that you use to create templates, data mapping configurations,
and print presets (the Designer/DataMapper), and to create Workflow configurations (the
Workflow configuration tool).
The invisible parts process the Connect job to provide the actual output. This topic introduces
you to those parts.
Here's a simplified, graphical representation of the architecture of PlanetPress Connect. The
components described below are all located in the 'Server' part.
