Creating a key
Start the Connection Key Export Wizard by accessing the admin panel
and clicking the button to Create A Key.
The Export Connection Wizard lets you send your current connection
information, or customize your existing settings as needed for use
by other permission groups. Select the radio button appropriate
to the connection settings you want to send to users.
For most BU web content providers,
you will use the current connection settings as indicated on the
screen capture above. DO
NOT include your FTP login and password under any circumstances:
- After a key is opened in Contribute, it
could be sent by email again. This can make your password vulnerable
to being "sniffed" in transit.
- Sharing your
Kerberos password is a violation of the Computing
Ethics Policy since doing so would give another person access
to your most sensitive University records.
If you choose to customize your connection settings, the next panel
of the Export Connection Wizard lets you select the method users
will use to connect to the web site. Please see the Contribute help
files for further information.
Note: If your content providers have never uploaded
files to your site in the past, you must also request that we add
server access for them. Use the form
on WebCentral. Then your new content provider will simply use
his/her own BU login and password when establishing the Contribute
site definition.
