3.1 Changes to web.config

Open your Sitecore's web.config file. Before you start making changes, it is advised that you make a copy of the web.config file, so you always will have the ability to fully recover.

3.1.1 Add handler

DFS has its own handler for serving media files. To enable the handler:

  • Navigate to the section "/configuration/system.webServer/handlers".

  • Now add the following handler, inside the handlers section.

    Code Block
    languagexml
    <add name="MediaHandler" verb="GET" path="dfsmedia/*/*-*" type="DFS.Client.Services.Handlers.MediaHandler"/>

3.1.2 Content-Security-Policy

The url from the next section DFS.Digizuite.MediaManagerUrl Our embedded Media Manager that are loaded in an IFrame must be added to the content security policy, because it is loaded in an IFrame. Otherwise you will see a “This content is blocked” when opening the Media Manager or download asserts from the Media Manager.

  • Navigate to the section location/system.webServer/httpProtocol/customHeaders

  • Locate the header Content-Security-Policy, you must add the MediaManagerUrl all the Media Manager portal urls and the DAM api urls to the default-src. (Be aware that Digizuite can be configured with multiple portal and api urls, these urls can be received from your Digizuite consultant).

  • Example, here we added https://mm.example.com:

    Code Block
    <add name="Content-Security-Policy" value="default-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' 'unsafe-eval' https://mm.example.com; img-src 'self' data: https://s.gravatar.com https://*.wp.com/cdn.auth0.com/avatars; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' https://fonts.googleapis.com; font-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' https://fonts.gstatic.com; upgrade-insecure-requests;" />

3.2 Setting up the connection to Digizuite™

DFS synchronizes data from Digizuite™ DAM Center (DC) into Sitecore. Data is stored in a silo (item bucket)Before we can begin synchronizing, we have to fill out some config parameters telling Sitecore which DAM to fetch data from. There are 3 parameters in this file \App_Config\Include\damforsitecore\DFS.Settings.config. 

Code Block
languagexml
<setting name="DFS.AssetSiloSettings.Default.BaseAddress" value="{URL TO THE DAM SERVER}" />
<setting name="DFS.Digizuite.MediaManagerUrl" value="{URL TO MEDIA MANAGER}" />
<setting name="DFS.Digizuite.ChannelFolderId" value="{ID OF THE CHANNEL FOLDER}" />

We do not recommend that you change these parameters in this file. Instead create a new config file where you patch the parameters (This is best practice). Here is an example of the patch config file. It is important that the file is loaded after DFS.Settings.config, otherwise the patch file won't have any effect. If you name the config file z.DFS.Settings.config and place it in the folder \App_Config\Include\damforsitecore\ you should be safe.

Code Block
languagexml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration xmlns:patch="http://www.sitecore.net/xmlconfig/">
	<sitecore>
		<settings> 
			<setting name="DFS.AssetSiloSettings.Default.BaseAddress">
				<patch:attribute name="value">https://dam.example.com</patch:attribute>
			</setting>
			<setting name="DFS.Digizuite.MediaManagerUrl">
        		<patch:attribute name="value">https://mm.example.com</patch:attribute>
      		</setting>
      		<setting name="DFS.Digizuite.ChannelFolderId">
        		<patch:attribute name="value">134</patch:attribute>
      		</setting>
		</settings>
	</sitecore>
</configuration>
