Creating a Content Web Service
Content web services
enable you to specify general settings for your external user repository,
leaving the target and security settings to be set in the associated
remote content source and remote content crawler. This allows you
to crawl multiple locations of the same content repository without
having to repeatedly specify all the settings.
Before you create a content web service, you must:
- Install the content provider on the computer that hosts the portal
or on another computer
- Create a remote server pointing to the computer that hosts the
content provider (optional, but recommended)
To create a content web service you must have the following rights
and privileges:
- Access Administration activity right
- Create Web Service Infrastructure activity right
- At least Edit access to the parent folder (the folder that will
store the content web service)
- At least Select access to the remote server that the content web
service will use
- Click Administration.
- Open the folder in which you want to store the content
web service.

on the security of the parent folder. You can change the security
when you save this content web service (on the Security tab page in the Save As dialog box), or by editing this content
web service (on the Security page of the Content
Web Service Editor).
Portal administrators with at least Select
access to this content web service can create content sources based
on the web service.
