Creating and configuring federated repositories | HCL Digital Experience

Add your custom repository to the default federated repositories. You must implement a custom registry adapter so that HCL Portal can access the repository. After you implement your custom registry adapter, you must define several parameters for your environment and run a task to add your repository to the federated repositories.

Before you begin

You must create a custom user registry adapter before you create your repository. To create the user registry adapter, implement the wim.Repository interface. Refer to the WebSphere® Application Server documentation for information and instructions.
