Pre-requisites

You will need the following to proceed:

  • A license to use this connector purchasable in Azure Marketplace or AppSource.
  • OpenText Content Server with their respective REST and SOAP services available externally.
  • OpenText Content Server login credentials.

  1. API Key: This key can be found on the provided portal under the customer information.
