You can insert links to remote content into elements containing
a rich text field by using the Insert Link to Remote Document button
in the rich text editor. Only remote content that has been configured
remote server access can be selected by using this button.
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 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 associated with the server.
Credential vault slots are set up by an administrator and enable users
to log in without credentials.
Note: The
Insert Link to Remote Document function
requires the Page Builder theme. If the page containing the authoring
portlet does not use this theme, the features for remote links are
not displayed in the rich text editor. Specifically, the menu entry
and the button to insert links to remote documents are suppressed.
If the function is not available but is required, ensure that the
Page Builder theme is applied to the portal page containing the authoring
portlet. If the feature is disabled when using inline editing of web
content, complete these steps:
- Apply the Page Builder theme to the hidden authoring page.
- Apply the Page Builder No Skin to the reserved authoring portlet
instance.
