    <cache folderName="Digizuite" tempFolderName="DigizuiteTemp" timeout="10:00"/>
	<mediaManager url="" />
	<tinyMce validInsertQualities="50036,50035" />
    <digizuiteIntegration siteUrl="" guid="" subscriptions="1" deleteBlob="false" />
    <cdn baseUrl="" destinationId="" />
    <connection baseUrl="https://dam-dfe.digizuite.com" user="Episerver" secret="plaintextPassword" versionId="/1/" />

Main Digizuite Element

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

Type	Name	Required	Default	Description
string	baseGuid	No	(a hardcoded guid)	A guid that is used as the 'foundation' to generate all the assets Content Guid. Usually you won't have to change this.
string	name	No	""	The name with which the integration identifies itself - for example when sending editor notifications
bool	redirectvideostream	No	false	Default 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.
bool	disablenotifications	No	false	If set to true, will supress editor notifications from the integration.
bool	autoattach	No	true	Controls 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.
string	autoattachname	No	"Digizuite"	The name of the entry point automatically created in Auto Attach mode.
string	validFullSearchNamespaces	No	EPiServer.Find.Cms.ContentIndexer,EPiServer.Find.Cms.IndexingJobService	Comma-separated list of valid namspaceses. Here you add the valid namespaceses that are allowed to do a full search and requesting all assets from Digizuite through our DigizuiteContentProvider. By default is is only the Find indexing that are allowed.
bool	preventdigizuitemediatypesinepiserverfolder	No	true	Prevent that Digizuite media types can be uploaded to a Episerver media folder.

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.

Type	Name	Required	Description
string	baseUrl	Yes	Base url to the DAM Center
string	user	Yes	Sync user that the integration can use in the DAM Center
string	secret	Yes	The plaintext secret that the integrations sync user should use.
string	versionId	Yes	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.
