Configuring PRESET Authentication

A PRESET is a set of properties that you can define in a directory.xml file for different purposes. This mechanism of authentication is only available for Enterprise installations. The following procedures shows you how to configure PRESET authentication for PAPI Web Service.

To configure PRESET authentication:

  1. Use the ant task managedirectory, to add a PRESET with a valid user and password to the directory.xml file that corresponds to the PAPI Web Service web application.

    The directory.xml file for PAPI Web Service web application is located under <ORABPM_HOME>/webapps/papiws/WEB-INF. This file is a copy of the XML file named after the Directory Configuration name located under <ORABPM_HOME>/webapps/conf.

    See managedirectory ant task .

  2. Edit PAPI Web Service configuration and enter the PRESET name in the field labeled "Set PRESET ID for PRESET authentication". See Editing PAPI Web Service Configuration.

The next time you start the PAPI Web Service application, PRESET authentication is activated.
