Server Name

This is the name of the content server connection, and is the name that will be displayed in the list of available servers. The name you enter here will be used to pre-fill the server URL boxes on this dialog. If you enter a name for the connection that is not the same as the name of the server, you must change the entries in the server URL boxes accordingly.

Server Type

Select the type of content server:

• WebCenter Content Server: This is an instance of Oracle WebCenter Content Server. These servers offer the broadest content management integration: opening files directly from the server (check-out), saving files to the server (check-in), searching for files on the server, and so on.

  This server type was called 'UCM Content Server' in earlier Desktop releases.

• Content DB Server: This is an Oracle Content Database (Oracle Content DB) server. These servers offer some content management integration. You can open files directly from the server and save files to it, but you cannot search for files on the server using the Desktop client software.

• WebDAV Server: This is a server (not an Oracle WebCenter Content Server or Oracle Content Database server) that supports the standardized Web Distributed Authoring And Versioning (WebDAV) enhancements to the HTTP protocol. These servers offer some content management integration. You can open files directly from the server and save files to it, but you cannot search for files on the server using the Desktop client software.

Contact your content server administrator for assistance if you are not sure which server type to choose.

Server WebDAV URL

This box contains a suggested value if you have already entered a name into the Server Name box. You can change the suggested value if it is not appropriate.

Enter the WebDAV URL of the content server. This information is needed to access the resources provided by the server. The URL for Oracle WebCenter Content Server instances typically has the following form:

http[s]://host-name:[port]/web-root/idcplg/webdav

For example:

http://server:7044/idc/idcplg/webdav
http://server.example.com:16200/cs/idcplg/webdav
https://server/cs/idcplg/webdav

Each defined content server connection must have its own, unique WebDAV URL. You cannot have two server connections on your computer that use the exact same WebDAV URL.

Contact your system administrator if you do not know exactly what URL to use.

CGI URL

This box contains a suggested value if you have already entered a name into the Server Name box. You can change the suggested value if it is not appropriate.

Enter the CGI URL of the content server. This box is available only for servers of type 'WebCenter Content Server'. By default, the CGI URL is the same as the WebDAV URL (see above), without '/webdav'.

If you log in to an Oracle WebCenter Content Server instance using your web browser, you can see the CGI URL in the browser address bar. The CGI URL is the address from the beginning up to, but not including, the question mark (?).

Contact your system administrator if you do not know exactly what URL to use.

There is no CGI URL section if Windows Explorer is the only integration on your computer.

User Interface URL

This box is available only for servers of type 'WebCenter Content Server'.

Enter the URL of the server that provides the WebCenter Content user interface for Oracle WebCenter Content Server 12c R2 (12.2.1.0) instances. Content servers prior to this release do not offer the WebCenter Content user interface. This URL may look something like this:

http://server.example.com:16400/wcc/faces

If you do not provide a user interface URL when setting up a connection to Oracle WebCenter Content 12c R2 (12.2.1.0), then you will be using the native 11g user interface.

See Using Oracle WebCenter Content for more information on the two user interfaces offered by Oracle WebCenter Content Server 12c R2 (12.2.1.0).

Contact your system administrator if you do not know what URL to use, if any.

Use Single Sign-On

Select this check box if the content server connection uses single sign-on (SSO). The Single Sign-On section is available only for servers of type 'Content DB Server' and 'WebDAV Server'.

Contact your system administrator if you do not know what URL to use, if any.

Single Sign-On URL

Enter the URL of the single sign-on (SSO) server that is used to control access to the content server.

Contact your system administrator if you do not know exactly what URL to use, if any.
