Handle Converter Plugin Converter Parameters:

On Object Identifier Type choose "HANDLE" and the desired object level to publish (IE/REP/FILE)

Handle Publishing Plugin Parameters:

1. Publish  - CREATE/ADD/MODIFY
2. Index - The index in a handle identity of the handle server. The index is generally a positive integer, but the special value 0 indicates that the user's public key or secret key is stored at some unspecified index. When you register a prefix a prefix handle is created on the root service and your public key is stored on that handle at index 300.
