Summary

This article documents how to modify a self-hosted CMIS Gateway's config.json file in order to connect to a Laserfiche Cloud repository.

Resolution

Make note of your Laserfiche Cloud repository ID. The repository ID is usually in the following format:

r-xxxxxxxx

The repository ID can be found on the Plan page in Account Administration.

1. Locate the config.json file in the CMIS Gateway installation directory and open the file with a text editor. By default, the file is located at C:\Program Files\Laserfiche\CMIS Gateway.
2. Set the server and name key values according to your repository ID and data center location in the following formats:
   • United States data center: r-xxxxxxxx.laserfiche.com
   • Canadian data center: r-xxxxxxxx.laserfiche.ca
   • European data center: r-xxxxxxxx.eu.laserfiche.com
3. Set the id value to the repository ID.
4. Set the thinClientUrl value according to your repository ID and data center location in the following formats:
   • United States data center: https://app.laserfiche.com/laserfiche/browse.aspx?repo=r-xxxxxxxx
   • Canadian data center: https://app.laserfiche.ca/laserfiche/browse.aspx?repo=r-xxxxxxxx
   • European data center: https://app.eu.laserfiche.com/laserfiche/browse.aspx?repo=r-xxxxxxxx
5. See the following sample config.json file:

{
  "repositories": [
    {
      "server": "r-xxxxxxxx.laserfiche.com",
      "port": 443,
      "name": "r-xxxxxxxx.laserfiche.com",
      "id": "r-xxxxxxxx",
      "ssl": true,
      "description": "Sample Description",
      "authentication": [ "basic"],
      "rootFolderId": 1,
      "thinClientUrl": https://app.laserfiche.com/laserfiche/browse.aspx?repo=r-xxxxxxxx
    }
  ]
}

Replace all the example "r-xxxxxxxx" values with your Laserfiche Cloud repository ID.

6. Save your changes to the config.json file.
7. Recycle the CMIS application pool (CMISAppPool in IIS).
