Installation of Creative Cloud Connector on the local machine:
...
- From the Adobe Exchange portal, search for "Digizuite Creative Cloud Connector". Then continue the installation from there.
- Or you can install the extension manually:
Request the connector from your contact person at Digizuite. They will give you the connector as a zip file: creative-cloud-connector.zip
Dependent on the system, unzip the files and place the files as follows (you need to create a new folder) - Make sure to only put the files in here:- Windows: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\CEP\extensions\com.digizuite.creative-cloud-connector
- MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEP/extensions/com.digizuite.creative-cloud-connector
Install proxy website
This newer version of the connector uses the MM5 config manager's Config Manager (Media Manager 5), as opposed to previous versions which had their own config manager areapreviously, where the connector had its own Config Manager.
You have two choices for which config manager you want to useof Config Manager:
- Use the MM5 url as the starting point for the Creative Cloud Connector
- Or set Set up a proxy website, which allows you to control the config version id ID of the site.
This allows you to configure CCC to use another configuration than the MM.
If you choose to do this, then follow the following installations steps below.
Step 1: Preparation
To initialize the installation, do the following:
...
| Info | ||

As stated in the requirements document, you must set up a DNS entry for the website. If you don't do not have a way of setting up the DNS, then you may can instead edit your own computer's "hosts" file, located in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc. |
Step 2: Creating a
...
new Creative Cloud Connector version
The DAM Center enables the opportunity of creating multiple Adobe CC Creative Cloud Connector versions with the help of the Config Manager. Usually, however, you will only have one version corresponding to your one Adobe CC Connector.
...
You will need to access the version ID of this newly created version in the next step in order to mark it as the current one.
Step 3: Website Configuration for
...
the Creative Cloud Connector
Before Adobe CC the Creative Cloud Connector can be used, it needs to have some base configuration set, such as which DAM Center it should use. This configuration can be found in the appsettings.json file. This file was part of the content that you have copied into the folder with the name matching the DNS record for the site
This is the relevant part of the configuration file that you will see once you open it with e.g. Notepad++:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
{
"Logging": {
"LogLevel": {
"Default": "Warning"
}
},
"AllowedHosts": "*",
"EnablePrerendering": false,
"ForceHttps": true,
"HttpsPort": 443,
"MediaManagerConfiguration": {
"GuestUsername": "Guest",
"GuestPassword": "0ea2f02d5f73c86c220ff08b23d1c3f1",
"ApiDomain": "",
"UseHttps": true,
"WowzaServer": "",
"WowzaAppName": "mmapp",
"AbrMediaId": "666",
"EnabledFeatures": [],
"InstrumentationKey": "#{instrumentationKey}",
"ProductVersion": "#{productVersion}",
"VersionId": "!/5/",
"UseFederatedAuthentication": false,
"EnableNormalLogin": false,
"BusinessWorkflowServiceUrl": "http://localhost:60000/"
}
}
|
...
While you fill out the required fields, the same rules as with the configuration file for the installation scripts apply.
Here is the description of how what to replace put into the placeholders (marked in red):
| Placeholder | Description |
|---|---|
| ApiDomain | You need to replace ApiDomain with the base Domain of the DAM Center that Media Manager 5 should be connected to. |
| ProductVersion | The version of the product that has been installed. Example: 5.0.0-1404 |
| VersionId | This is the current version ID of Media Manager 5 ConfigManager version to be used. The easiest way to find it is by opening and logging in to your DAM Center, as demonstrated on the screenshot below:
Use "!" in front of the VersionId to set that specific version as the current one, and not any version available beneath. Remember to include the character "/" at the end! |
| InstrumentationKey | E.g. e08240fb-c3b6-4b1f-9013-361c81dc506d |
| UseFederatedAuthentication | Must be set to "true" if using SSO. |
| EnableNormalLogin | Must be set to "true" if normal login should be enabled together with SSO. |
NotePlease note: Fields The fields "WowzaServer", "EnabledFeatures" and "InstrumentationKey" are not relevant for the Connector and should be disregarded.
