3.6 Configuring PS Portal URI in Content Provider

PeopleSoft PeopleTools 8.43 changed the way PeopleSoft Interaction Hub interacts with the content provider. You are no longer required to configure a remote node in the content provider database to access content references and pagelets in the PeopleSoft Interaction Hub. You can allow user access to content provider data through PeopleSoft Interaction Hub or the navigation delivered in the content provider database. To use PeopleSoft Single Sign-On, you must configure the PeopleSoft Interaction Hub content and portal URI text for the appropriate portal registry node.

Note:

The content provider portal registries should not be hosted by a remote node.

To configure PeopleSoft Interaction Hub URI text in the content provider:

  1. From your browser, sign on to your PeopleSoft PeopleTools 8.5x content provider database.

  2. Select PeopleTools, Portal, Portal Node Definitions.

    The Node Definitions Search page appears.

  3. Click Search.

  4. Select the appropriate portal registry node for the portal definition that you are using.

    The following table lists the portal names and corresponding node names.

    Portal Name Node Name

    EMPLOYEE

    EMPL

    CUSTOMER

    CUST

    SUPPLIER

    SUPP

    PARTNER

    PART

  5. Select the Portal tab.

  6. Enter both the content URI text and portal URI text values that correspond to the PeopleSoft Portal Solutions database web server.

    • The content URI uses the .../psc/... format.

      For example, Content URI Text = http://<someserver>/psc/<site name>/

    • The Portal URI uses the .../psp/... format.

      For example, Portal URI Text = http://<someserver>/psp/<site name>/

    Replace the <someserver> value with the hostname of your PeopleSoft Portal Solutions database web server. Include the port number and network domain name as necessary.

    Replace the <site name> value with the directory in which you installed the PeopleSoft web server files for your PeopleSoft Portal Solutions database. Do not forget to use the trailing forward slash “/” character.

  7. Click Save.

  8. Restart the content provider database web server.
