Managing WebCenter Personalization 19-7 Testing the Configuration The simplest way to validate cross domain trust is to create a People Connections WebCenter Personalization connection in the integrated WLS domain that points to the WebCenter domains WC_Spaces server. Then, create and deploy a simple scenario to the integrated WLS domain that fetches a People Connections property value. Finally, confirm that the Token Validate Operation message described above is logged on the WC_Spaces server.

19.4 Configuring Providers

WebCenter Personalization provides out-of-the-box providers for Activity Graph and the Oracle Content Server, and a locator for People Connections. For scenarios using any of these providers, you must configure them using the configureWCPY.py WLST script as described in the following sections. If you are using custom providers or locators, then you must also configure them as described in the section on configuring custom providers. You do not need to configure providers or locators if they are not being used in your scenarios. You can develop scenarios without the out-of-the-box providers, or exclusively with custom providers or downloaded from OTN. Also, if you are developing exclusively within the JDeveloper integrated domain, you do not ordinarily have access to these WC_Spaces-based services since WebCenter Spaces does not run in the integrated domain. With advanced configurations also supported by configureWCPS.py you can access the WebCenter Spaces services in the WC_Spaces domain from the integrated domain’s WebCenter Personalization server. This uses cross-domain trust and does require the provider connections to be configured. The configureTrustWCPS.py and configureConnectionsWCPS.py scripts located in the WC_Spaces domain, or configureWCPS.py for JDeveloper’s integrated WLS domain located in the DefaultDomainscrpts-wcps domain directory are used to configure the corresponding domains by pointing to the appropriate WLS Administration server. ■ Section 19.4.1, Creating or Modifying Provider Connection Settings ■ Section 19.4.2, Configuring the CMIS Provider ■ Section 19.4.3, Configuring the Activity Graph Provider ■ Section 19.4.4, Configuring the Oracle People Connections Locator ■ Section 19.4.5, Configuring Custom Providers

19.4.1 Creating or Modifying Provider Connection Settings

This section describes how to use WLST, JConsole, Fusion Middleware Control to create or change the connection information stored in wcps-connections.xml. It also describes how you can write a custom configuration class to configure a custom provider. This section contains the following subsections: ■ Section 19.4.1.1, Understanding WebCenter Personalization Connection Information ■ Section 19.4.1.2, Connection Configuration Attributes ■ Section 19.4.1.3, Configuring Connections Using WLST ■ Section 19.4.1.4, Configuring Connections Using JConsole
