DFS 11.0 - Users accessing Digizuite Asset Browser

When accessing the Digizuite asset browser, the connector can be setup to login automatically or the user will be presented with a login screen. So by this we mean eighter individual user login or a shared user login. By default the individual user login is enabled.

Digizuite Asset Browser

In the config file App_Config → Include → damforsitecore → DFS.Settings.config, the setting <setting name="DFS.LoginType.IndividualUsers" value="true" />, controls which mode.

Individual user login

In this mode the user has to enter a username and password to access the assets. You get the username and pasword from you contacts person at Digizuite.

Shared user (auto login)

In this mode the Sitecore user is automatically logged in and does not care about any username or password. The connector looked at the Sitecore users roles and did a mapping to a Digizuite user. The user mapping between Sitecore roles and Digizuite users are done in this configuration, which kan be found in the DFS.Settings.config.

<DFS.User.Mapping>
  <add role="sitecore\Digizuite DAM for Sitecore Editors" username="DFS Editor" password="6Jz7b6KBnFvdLW9y" />
  <add role="sitecore\Digizuite DAM for Sitecore Users" username="DFS User" password="y4hygmerdtuFqqe6" />
</DFS.User.Mapping>

In this example we say if the Sitecore user has the role sitecore\Digizuite DAM for Sitecore Editors then use the Digizuite user DFS Editor, when entering Digizuite asset browser.

If the Sitecore user is not part of any of the mapped roles, then he will be logged in with the first user in the list, in this case DFS Editor.
