OpenText Connector Authentication Examples

All

I'm looking for an example of Authentication when using OpenText Connector.  When I use REST API into Content Server for authentication I get back OTCSTicket that I use in header.  Any examples of how to configure the OpenText connector are welcome.

Many thanks

    The OpenText connector has configuration options for ‘Username’ and ‘Password’. These are used with the ‘api/v1/auth’ endpoint to retrieve a ticket that is used to populate the ‘OTCSTicket’ header for further requests. An example connector configuration task section would be as follows:

    [MyTask1]

    OpenTextApiUrl=my.contentserver.instance/.../cs

    Username=MyUser

    Password=P@ssword!

    Hello David  Many thanks for your reply.  I'm still unsure where the OTCSTicket goes however..?  In my postman it goes as part of the headers.  Do I add OTCSTicket to the MyTask1 and the populate the value with the retrieved ticket value..?

    With the OpenText Connector, you do not need to handle or configure the OTCSTicket anywhere yourself, you only need to configure the username/password of the user you wish to authenticate as. The retrieval/handling of the OTCSTicket is done internally by the connector

    Hi David  

    That worked as I can now extract the xECM contents into IDOL but with no additional NiFi process I get the following results in Find:-

    Any hints please on getting something closer resembling how the content is seen in xECM.  My goal is to be able to show IDOL searching across xECM repo as well as other sources, a "super search" idea if you will.

    Many thanks,

    Hi David  

    Now I can see I was using GetOpenText which syncs data.  If I change to FetchOpenText I need an incoming connection for that and I think this is where I need some hints with please.

    Many thanks,
