Khoros Community source JSON modification

This is for:

Developer System Administrator

You can change Khoros Community source hidden parameters by modifying the source JSON configuration from the Coveo Administration Console.

To modify the JSON configuration, select the Khoros Community source on the Sources (platform-ca | platform-eu | platform-au) page, and then access the Edit configuration with JSON panel. In this panel, select the Configuration tab and make the applicable changes in the JSON configuration box. All parameters must be added to the parameters section of the source JSON configuration.

BasicAuthenticationUsername and BasicAuthenticationPassword

The BasicAuthenticationUsername and BasicAuthenticationPassword parameters determine the username and password to use when a Khoros community is secured with basic (http) authentication.

For example, KHOROS_COMMUNITY_AUTHORIZATION_ERROR appears in the Activity Browser. A Coveo Support agent instructs you to add the BasicAuthenticationUsername and BasicAuthenticationPassword parameters to fix the issue.

"BasicAuthenticationUsername": {
  "sensitive": false,
  "value": "jsmith@besttech.com"
},
"BasicAuthenticationPassword": {
  "sensitive": true,
  "value": "mypassword"
}

The BasicAuthenticationUsername and BasicAuthenticationPassword parameters must also be added to the JSON of the security provider for that Khoros Source. See Manage security identities for instructions on how to configure that JSON.

Important

The sensitive attribute must be set to true for the BasicAuthenticationPassword parameter. Otherwise, the password will appear in clear text in the JSON configuration.

RestApiUrl

If you use a reverse proxy, your REST API might not reside at your community root URL. You must therefore add the RestApiUrl hidden parameter to specify the URL address at which your REST API resides.

Note

Khoros Community doesn’t recommend using a reverse proxy (see Reverse proxy and Lithium communities while logged in with a Khoros community account).
Example

Your community root URL is https://www.example.com/community/, and your REST API resides at https://www.example.com/community/thisisourapi/.

"RestApiUrl": {
  "sensitive": false,
  "value": "https://www.example.com/community/thisisourapi/"
},
