DFE 1.0.0 - 3 Setting up Episerver

After installation of the NuGet package, a new "<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. 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 Conten 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	autowarmup	No	false	Controls if the asset cache be automatically warmed up after site has initialized. Will slow down intialization, but speed up subsequent access.
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.
bool	disableresilientassets	No	false	By 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.

Type	Name	Required	Default	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 hashed 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.
bool	readOnly	No	false	Indicates if the integration should act as if it is in read only mode.

Child element: cache

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

Type	Name	Required	Default	Description
string	folderName	Yes	"Digizuite"	The folder name below App_Data where the main binary cache is located.
string	tempFolderName	Yes	"DigizuiteTemp"	The folder name below App_Data where the temporary upload cache is located.
string	missingImage	No	""	The site relative url to an image to use for a "No-image" image in cases where a requested image cannot be served.
string	timeout	No	"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.

Type	Name	Required	Description
string	defaultVideoFormat	Yes	Default Video format ID
string	defaultImageFormat	Yes	Default Image format ID
string	defaultDestination	Yes	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.

Type	Name	Required	Default	Description
string	url	No	""	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.

Type	Name	Required	Default	Description
string	DigizuiteRole	Yes	n/a	The name of the role in Digizuite to map.
string	EpiserverRoles	Yes	n/a	A 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:

Type	Name	Required	Default	Description
string	documentType	Yes	n/a	The icon for the document type - for instance "video" for a video icon.
string	extensions	Yes	n/a	A comma separated list of file extensions to map for the above document type.
