To configure connection settings to related applications (providers)

A BMC Helix Digital Workplace administrator can configure the connection to any of the providers in the List-of-providers. For example, the LDAP provider allows administrators to send broadcasts to groups defined in LDAP. The BMC Helix CMDB provider allows you to import the content of a shared query from BMC Helix CMDB into BMC Helix Digital Workplace.To make this integration work, you must update the configuration settings with the applicable parameters, such as a service password, host name, and port number. 

  1. From the BMC Helix Digital Workplace Admin console (http://server:port/dwp/admin), select Configuration.
  2. In the Providers table, click the cell related to the application that you want to configure.
  3. Depending on the application, change the host settings, port, or URL, or simply connect to or disconnect from the application.
    When editing a field value, such as a URL, press Enter to save the change. 
  4. When you have completed your changes, click Reload providers.

BMC Helix ITSM and BMC TrueSight Operations Management settings are saved on the Action Request System server in the Applications metadata.
