CMIS-Plugin

7.4.0+ The plugin requires at least formcycle version 7.4.0.

With the CMIS plugin you have the possibility to connect a content management system that has a CMIS interface. The scope of this plugin includes the creation of a connection and the creation of folders and documents via the interface.

Configuration of the CMIS connections

After installing the plugin, logging out and back in to formcycle is required to see the menu item CMIS connections. The menu item CMIS connections offers the possibility to set up a connection for an existing CMIS interface.

Connection settings

Name: The name that the configured connection should have.
Connection type: The connection type of the interface is the protocol of the interface that is used for data transmission.
  The 3 available options are:
  - AtomPub
  - Web service (SOAP)
  - Browser (access via the HTTP methods GET and POST in the format JSON)
Server URL: The URL under which the interface to be connected can be reached.
Repository ID: The ID of the repository to be addressed. This setting is only relevant if there are several repositories under one server URL. Can be left blank in most cases.
Connection parameters: Additional parameters that are relevant for the connection. These parameters are OpenCMIS connection parameters.

Authentication

Authentication type: Specifies how the authentication should take place.
  The available types are:
  - None
  - Basic Auth
  - Bearer Token
User Name and Password: The username and password for Basic Auth.
Bearer Token: The token for authentication via a Bearer Token.

Proxy settings

Use Proxy: Specifies whether the connection should only take place via a proxy server.
Proxy host: The URL under which the proxy server is located.
Proxy port: The port under which the proxy server is located.
User name and password: If the proxy requires authentication via Basic Auth, the credentials can be entered here.

It is also possible to test the configured connection against the interface. However, this is only possible if all fields relevant for the connection have been filled in. The server URL and the configuration of the authentication are basically relevant here. Furthermore, if a proxy is to be used, its configuration is necessary accordingly.
