Specifying the BlueCielo Web Service server

The BlueCielo Web Service setup program installs a federated location definition file that contains metadata required for the BlueCielo Federated Connector. Once you have installed the BlueCielo Web Service, you must edit this file to specify the name of the BlueCielo Web Server where the BlueCielo Web Service is installed.

A federated location definition file defines the federated search connection to an external content source (vault), and is composed of the following:

• Location type
• Query and More Results link templates
• Triggers
• Display information
• Restrictions
• Authentication and credentials information

To specify the name of the BlueCielo Web Service server:

1. Locate and open the FederatedLocationDefinition.fld file in any text editor. The file resides in the FSearch subfolder where the BlueCielo Web Service is installed.
2. Locate the ConnectionUrlTemplate property in the file.
3. Specify the name of the server where the BlueCielo Web Service is installed (for example, http://WebServerName/FSearch/Results.aspx?q={searchTerms}).
4. Locate the MoreLinkTemplate property in the file.
5. Again specify the name of a server where the BlueCielo Web Service is installed (for example, http://WebServerName/FSearch/Results.aspx?q={searchTerms}&f=htm).
6. Save your changes and close the file.
