Adding Or Removing Service Providers - Novell GROUPWISE 8 - ADMINISTRATION Administration Manual

54.3.2 Adding or Removing Service Providers

The WebPublisher Application receives requests from users and then passes the requests to the
appropriate service provider. The service provider fills the requests and returns the required
information to the WebPublisher Application. The WebPublisher Application merges the
information into the appropriate template and displays it to the user.
To function properly, the WebPublisher Application must know which service providers are
available. By default, WebPublisher includes one service provider, the GroupWise Document
service provider (GroupWiseDocumentProvider). The GroupWise Document service provider
communicates with the WebAccess Agent to fill WebPublisher requests.
The GroupWise Document service provider is installed and configured at the same time as the
WebPublisher Application. You can disable the GroupWise Document service by removing the
GroupWise Document service provider. If you create new service providers to expose additional
services through GroupWise WebPublisher, you must define those service providers so that the
WebPublisher Application knows about them.
To define service providers:
1 In ConsoleOne, right-click the WebPublisher Application object, then click Properties.
2 Click Application > Services to display the Services page.
The Provider List displays all service providers that the WebPublisher Application is
configured to use.
3 Choose from the following options:
Add: To add a service provider to the list, click Add, browse for and select the service
provider's object, then click OK.
Edit: To edit a service provider's information, select the provider in the list, then click Edit.
