Article Summary

The Liquit Workspace Connector allows you to establish a connection to another Liquit Workspace zone and import applications as ready to use applications in the current zone. This allows you to create and test applications in one Liquit Workspace system and easily distribute them to other Liquit Workspace systems.

For more information about the Overview, Entitlements, Synchronization Profile, Releases and Managed packages screens, see Overview.

Settings screen

URL - The zone from which the applications should be imported.
Username - The username which will be used to import the applications, in the following format: LOCAL\username.

Prerequisites

In the source Liquit Workspace zone, you need an indentity source, which can be either the default LOCAL one or an LDAP/Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) you create.

The LDAP and Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) identity sources must have the Form authentication method enabled and must not have multi-factor authentication configured. These two prerequisites do not apply to the LOCAL identity source.

How to configure a Liquit Workspace Connector

This example shows how to configure a Liquit Workspace Connector using the LOCAL identity source.

  1. In the source Liquit Workspace zone, create a new user in the LOCAL identity source called Test.
  2. Assign a Connector type access policy to the newly created Test user.
  3. Entitle the Test user to all the packages that you want to export later. You can do that in Manage > Users > Test user > Packages screen or in Manage > Workspace > Packages > desired package > Entitlements screen.
  4. In the destination Liquit Workspace zone, create a Liquit Workspace type connector with the following parameters:
    • In the Overview tab:
      Direction Pull
      Synchronization method Synchronize
      Stage Development
      Package name prefix LWS
    • In the Settings tab:
      URL the URL of the source Liquit Workspace zone,
      Username insert "LOCAL\Test" (the username of the user configured at steps 1-2)
      Password insert the password of the Test user (the user configured at steps 1-2)
    • In the Summary tab, leave the Modify connector after creation selected
  5. In the connector detailed view that opens, in the Overview screen, click refresh.png Synchronize.
  6. In the Synchronize dialog box that opens, select Check for updates. A log will appear, containing all the packages that will be created in the target Liquit Workspace zone
