Content Provider: Sets the content provider (where the files are stored and managed) for the PAS service

PAS Storage: The default value that uses the directory set in the "Storage Directory" option. This directory is local to where the server is running.

Storage Directory - enter the complete file path to the directory you wish to have all of the REST files stored on the server.

Note: This directory is local to where the server is running not the PAS Manager and so the file path must follow the format set by the OS of the server.
