Configuring the Preview input connector

You can configure the Preview input connector to receive preview requests for several document types. In the Runtime configuration, the connector must be linked to the Processes that generate the corresponding document types.

Preview input connector settings
Version	The HTTP version to use. Auto means the version is determined by the client
Description	A description of the connector.
Document type	The document types the connector can handle for document preview in Composer.
Address	An alternative network address for the StreamServer. For example the IP address to a specific network card. You can leave this empty if you want to use the default network address for the server.
Port	The port the connector listens to for HTTP requests. If the Project contains several HTTP(S) connectors, you must select a unique port for each connector. Instead of using several HTTP(S) connectors, you can use one HTTP(S) input connector and different URIs to other types of input connectors.
Input threads	The maximum number of concurrent connections. If all connections are busy and a new client tries to connect to the StreamServer, the connection may fail. Increasing the number can decrease performance.
Idle time-out	A time-out (milliseconds) applied when the StreamServer has finished processing a request, and no more data related to the request will be received or sent. This time-out sets the maximum time the connection will remain open, and enables the client to send a new request without having to set up a new connection.
Authentication	The type of authentication scheme used for password authentication. The authentication scheme you specify here applies to all HTTP realms you specify for the HTTP(S) connector. • None - Do not use authentication. • Basic - Send authentication parameters as clear text. This is the only scheme supported in HTTP/1.0. • Digest - Send authentication parameters as a checksum over the network. Requires HTTP/1.1.

To configure the Preview input connector

1	Enter a Description and select Document type.

2	If appropriate, configure the other settings.

3	On the HTTP Access tab, the Port should be the name of the input connector and the URI should be /.
