Connecting to the Central Management component

Configure the remote services preferences to connect to the Central Management component.

About this task

If a Web Services application URL was entered during installation, the URL cannot be edited from the Remote services preferences.

Procedure

  1. Click Window > Preferences > RPE > Remote Services.
  2. Specify the URL and credentials for connecting to the Web Services application:
    • If you are only using one of the remote services or have multiple remote services on the same server, you can enter the URL and credentials once in the RPE Web services section. If separate user credentials are not entered for each service, the master credentials entered for the Web Services application are used for all services. URL example: http://server:port/rpews
    • If you have the remote services running on different servers, you can specify each individually by selecting the checkbox and entering the details.
      • Central management: The URL to the Central Management component where you can access reusable assets for your organization when you are designing templates. Example: http://server:port/rpews/library
        CAUTION:
        The central management URL must be in the format: http://server:port/rpews/library.

        DO NOT enter the URL for the central management administrative user interface: http://server:port/rpews/ui/library.html.

  3. Click OK to save the changes to the preference.
