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.
Procedure
Click Insert Link to Remote Document,
and use the wizard panels 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.
