Managing OTDS Resources
This topic describes the procedure for adding, updating, and deleting an OTDS Resource to the trust store.

Before you begin this task

To add Resources to either level, you must have one of the following roles:

Space

Role

Shared

Security System Administrator

Organization

Security Administrator

Note: Resources in the Shared space are applicable for all organizations and those in the Organization space are applicable only for that organization. Hence, a specific role is required to add, delete, and update Resources in the Shared space.

You can view and manage OTDS Resources in the Security Administration. OTDS Resources are used in different components like Single Sign-On Authenticators and the Document Store Service Container configuration.

You can manage OTDS Resources as follows:

Opening the OTDS Resources Configuration Panel

To open the OTDS Resources configuration panel, do the following:

  1. Click CUSP > My Applications >  (Security Administration). The Security Administration window appears and the Certificates tab is displayed by default.
  2. Click on the OTDS Resources tab. 

The OTDS Resources configuration panel is displayed

Adding a Resource

To add a Resource, do the following:

  1. Click . An empty editable Resource Details form is displayed at the bottom.
  2. Provide a Resource Name. This is to identify the OTDS Resource entry. The name can be any name.
  3. Select the Space for which the OTDS Resource is active. OTDS Resources in the Shared space can be used in all the organizations. An OTDS Resource in the Organization space only can be used in the current organization. 
    Note: Only in the system organization a Shared Resource can be created. 

    Note: Using a Resource in combination with OTDS Authentication and OTDS Push Connector requires the Resource to be created in the Organization Space.
  4. The OTDS Server URL is the URL to access the OTDS Server. This must be a valid URL, starting with either http or https. There can be a port number in the URL.
    Follow the instructions in Using OTDS with SSL to configure the trust between Process Platform and OTDS. 
  5. Each OTDS Resource configured in OTDS has a unique ID. Specify this ID in the Resource ID field.
