Adding Connections from M-Files Hubshare to M-Files

Note: You must have organization-level admin rights to do this.
Note: It is strongly recommended that you have both REST API and gRPC in use in your M-Files Hubshare environment. If you do not have REST API in use, M-Files Hubshare does not operate correctly. If you do not have gRPC in use, the M-Files widgets do not operate correctly.

To add M-Files widgets in hubs, the M-Files extension must be active and at least one M-Files connection must be added for the extension. For more information about the connection configuration options and information about federated authentication and using certificates, refer to M-Files Integration in M-Files Hubshare in M-Files Customer Support Portal.

To activate the M-Files extension and add an M-Files connection:
  1. On the navigation bar, click the user icon and select Settings.
  2. In the Administration section, select M-Files integration.
    Result:The M-Files integration page opens.

  5. In the General tab, enter the necessary information.
  6. Select the Authentication tab.
  7. In the Authentication tab, select one of the authentication options.
    If you select the Use identity provider authentication option, you can select to use a user account or an application account. By default, the user account option is selected. To use an application account, enable the option Use an application account.
  8. Enter the necessary authentication information.
  9. Optional: If you selected the Use identity provider authentication option, click Connect.
    Result:The configuration is connected to the selected user or application account.
