After installation of the NuGet package, a new "digizuite<digizuite>" element has been added to your web.config's "configuration" element. It has been added as the last child element of "configuration".

Here is an example of how it can look:

Main Digizuite Element


The digizuite element has some attributes and some child elements. Each of these are described below.

TypeNameRequiredDefaultDescription
stringbaseGuidNo(a hardcoded guid)A guid that is used as the 'foundation' to generate all the assets Conten Guid. Usually you won't have to change this.

...

digizuite:

...

baseGuid

entryPoint

autowarmup

redirectvideostream

cache:

folderName

tempFolderName

mediaManager:

url

The mediaManager element only has one attribute: "url".
This URL should point to a Digizuite Media Manager or simply be left with no value.
If a Media Manager URL is specified, DFE can provide links to assets in said Media Manager. This may be desirable, as there are some features in MM, which DFE deosn't support, or aren't as mature. This may be editing more complex meta data types like Tree or Master/Slave item references.
If the "url" attribute is left blank, then no such link will appear.

connection:

This element tells DFE how to communicate with your DAM Center.

baseUrl

The base URL of your DAM Center, e.g. "https://dam-dfe.digizuite.com".

user

The DAM Center user, which is responsible for creating, retrieving, updating, and deleting DAM Center assets and related data in DFE.

secret

An MD5 hash of the user's password.

...

stringnameNo""The name with which the integration identifies itself - for example when sending editor notifications
boolredirectvideostreamNofalseDefault behavior is to have Episerver act as a video proxy for video assets. If this is set to true, Episerver will instead redirect the video streams to the DAM directly.
boolautowarmupNofalseControls if the asset cache be automatically warmed up after site has initialized. Will slow down intialization, but speed up subsequent access.
booldisablenotificationsNofalseIf set to true, will supress editor notifications from the integration.
boolautoattachNotrueControls if the Digizuite Content Provider should automatically attach after initialization to an entry point automatically created. If this is false, you will need to manually configure the content provider.
stringautoattachnameNo"Digizuite"The name of the entry point automatically created in Auto Attach mode.
booldisableresilientassetsNofalseBy default image assets are stored locally for resilience when used on published content. This can however slow down the publish process. If resilience is not required you can disable it here.

Child element: connection

The connection is the most important child element. This is where the main connection setting pointing to the DAM is specified. Typically you will replace this with connections settings you have gotten from your own DAM Center.

TypeNameRequiredDefaultDescription
stringbaseUrlYes
Base url to the DAM Center
stringuserYes
Sync user that the integration can use in the DAM Center
stringsecretYes
The hashed secret that the integrations sync user should use.
stringversionIdYes
A DAM Center can have many different products: Media Manager, DAM for Sitecore, Adobe Connector, Office Connector, etc. Each of these can have many versions. These versions facilitate having different configuration, searches, and other things, which can change the experience for the end user. These various versions are defined by their versionId. If the original version has versionId "/1/", then its first child will have "/1/0/". The versionId is an SQL data type called hierarchy ID. It is a tree structure.
A use case may be that you want to experiment with some configuration, so you create a new version of DFE in the DAM Center.
Then you can alter the versionId attribute on your EPi Server site to "/1/0/", and do your tests, while your public DFE integration still use the "/1/" versionId.
boolreadOnlyNofalseIndicates if the integration should act as if it is in read only mode. 

...

Child element:

...

Each of the child "add" elements have 2 attributes:

DigizuiteRole

A comma separated list of DAM Center user groups to map to EPi Server roles.

EpiserverRoles

A comma separated list of the EPi Server roles, which should be applied to the Digizuite user groups.

fallbackIconMappings

Each of the child "add" elements have 2 attributes:

documentType

extensions

...

cache

The cache element controls the caching - both binary on-disk caching as well as some of the in-memory asset meta-data caching.

TypeNameRequiredDefaultDescription
stringfolderNameYes"Digizuite"The folder name below App_Data where the main binary cache is located.
stringtempFolderNameYes"DigizuiteTemp"The folder name below App_Data where the temporary upload cache is located.
stringmissingImageNo""The site relative url to an image to use for a "No-image" image in cases where a requested image cannot be served.
stringtimeoutNo"1:00"Default cache time out setting.

Child element: media

The media element defines the default media formats (DAM Center ID's) to retrieve if nothing else is specified. Usually the default settings will be sufficient.

TypeNameRequiredDefaultDescription
stringdefaultVideoFormatYes
Default Video format ID
stringdefaultImageFormatYes
Default Image format ID
stringdefaultDestinationYes
Default destination ID (on the DAM Center)

Child element: mediaManager

If you have a Media Manager (version 5 or later) configured on your DAM Center, the integration to Episerver supports showing deep links to assets there. In order to do that, you must set the base url to the Media Manager.

TypeNameRequiredDefaultDescription
stringurlNo""If not set, it will not show deep links to the Media Manager. If set, it will try to build deep links in the UI for Media Manager for the individual assets.

Child element: roleMappings

Since access rights can be set on individual assets in the DAM Center, you can use the list of roleMappings to map DAM Center roles to Episerver roles in order to ensure proper permissions for various editor groups. The default configuration of these elements should be sufficient in most cases.

TypeNameRequiredDefaultDescription
stringDigizuiteRoleYesn/aThe name of the role in Digizuite to map.
stringEpiserverRolesYesn/aA comma separated list of Episerver roles that be given similar permissions to the Digizuite Role.

Child element: fallbackIconMappings

The fallbackIconMappings list is in order to ensure that for assets where a proper thumbnail cannot be shown, we can map the various file extensions to a fitting icon. Typically the default should be sufficient.

Each element in this list has the settings below:

TypeNameRequiredDefaultDescription
stringdocumentTypeYesn/aThe icon for the document type - for instance "video" for a video icon.
stringextensionsYesn/aA comma separated list of file extensions to map for the above document type.
