The side wide configuration can be set in the CMIS settings in the Add-on Product Configuration section of Site Setup. Non site wide configuration can be set on the CMIS Browser.
CMIS Browser
A CMIS Browser provides the following options:
- browser_description: A description of the browser.
- browser_text: Additional WYSIWYG text field for the browser.
- repository_url: URL to the connected CMIS repository.
- title_from_plone: Use the title from Plone and not the one from the repository.
- repository_name: Name of the repository to use at the connected URL. Required if more than one repository is available.
- repository_path: Path in the repository to use as root for the Browser. If it is not specified, the root of the repository will be used.
- repository_user: Username used to authenticate to the repository. If specified, password is required.
- repository_password: Password used to authenticate to the repository. If specified, username is required.
- repository_connector: The type of connection that needs to be used SOAP or REST.
- repository_cache: How long the CMIS content should be cached.
- folder_view: Choice that lets you choose how CMIS folders are rendered in Plone. This let you select which Plone folder template to use.
- proxy: Proxy URL to use to connect to the CMIS repository.
In the Plone control panel, you have access to a CMIS settings control panel. It lets you define default settings to use for all newly created CMIS Browser. Those defaults are stored in the Plone properties, and are easily exportable with the help of GenericSetup.
As well, you can provide Zope defaults in the Zope configuration file, zope.conf:
<product-config collective.cmisbrowser>
repository_url http://orange:8080/alfresco/cmis
repository_user admin
repository_password admin
</product-config>
This can be added into zope.conf by buildout, with the help of the directive `zope-conf-additional of plone.recipe.zope2instance.
