If you are satisfied with the above configuration, run it in PowerShell.

Installation is done in a matter of minutes.

Install on CD server

Install the module on the CD server as well. Change the instance name $InstanceName in the script you have already run and run it.

In addition, please make the following changes to the xslt file in the \xsl folder on the CD server so that it can be listed as an image, i.e., a field image.

  <!-- entry point -->
  <xsl:template match="*">
    <div>
      <h1 class="contentTitle">
        <sc:text field="title"/>
      </h1>
      <div class="contentDescription">

        <sc:image field="image" />
      </div>

Installing Japanese Language Resources

You can download the resource file in Japanese from the module download page. The file name is Sitecore Connect for Content Hub 5.0.0 rev. 00328 (en-JP).zip.

Extract this file to the folder where you have installed Sitecore.

• App_Data\localization\chub.texts.ja-JP.xml
• App_Data\items\master\localization\chub.items.master.ja-JP.dat

Once you have confirmed that the above two files have been extracted, restart the Sitecore instance. The resources will be loaded automatically.

After the import of Japanese resources is complete, a Browse Sitecore DAM item will be added to the Image Designation field.

Connecting Sitecore and Content Hub

Change Sitecore settings

First, we will modify the configuration of Sitecore. To adjust the connection strings, change the settings in ConnectionStrings.config in App_Config. The items are as follows

  <add name="DAM.ContentHub" connectionString="ClientId={client_id};ClientSecret={client_secret};UserName={username};Password={password};URI={uri};"/>
  <add name="DAM.SearchPage" connectionString="{Content Hub search page URI}"/>
  <add name="DAM.ExternalRedirectKey" connectionString="{External redirect key}"/>

• ClientId: Obtained from the OAuth client in the configuration. In this case, LogicApp is used.
• ClientSecret: Use the secret key associated with the above ClientId.
• UserName: Sets the account that can log in to the Sitecore Content Hub.
• Password: Set the password for the above account
• URI: Sets the URL of the server

• Example: https://sitecorecontenthubdemo.cloud/ja-jp/sitecore-dam-connect/approved-assets

The next step is to configure web.config. As described in the installation documentation, this is the procedure to enable the integration with the Content Hub instance that will be used together with Sitecore. If the delivery and management URLs are different, they will be aligned, but in this case, the settings are the same, so the following sample is used (please change the instance name).

    <add name="Content-Security-Policy" value="default-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' 'unsafe-eval'; img-src 'self' data https://sitecorecontenthubdemo.cloud/; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' https://fonts.googleapis.com; font-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' https://fonts.gstatic.com; upgrade-insecure-requests; block-all-mixed-content; child-src 'self' https://sitecorecontenthubdemo.cloud/; connect-src 'self' https://sitecorecontenthubdemo.cloud/; media-src https://sitecorecontenthubdemo.cloud/;" />

Change Content Hub settings

Regarding the Sitecore Content Hub configuration, please make the following two changes. First, configure CORS settings for server-to-server integration. Open the PortalConfiguration - CORSConfiguration page. Add the URLs of the Sitecore administration screen, delivery server, and other necessary servers here.

Next is authentication. This item too can be configured by opening PortalConfiguration - Authentication from the Settings page, which will bring up the Login Authentication settings page. Change the authentication_mode to Passive so that Sitecore authentication can be used for login authentication.

This completes the setup.

Confirmation of operation

Access the image field of the Sitecore item. Note that the administration screen is in English.

First, click on the Browse Sitecore DAM icon. After a few moments, you will be prompted to authenticate, so please log in. This will proceed using the account that has access to the DAM, not the account you used when setting up the connection string. Once you have successfully logged in, you will be able to select the authenticated assets as shown below.

Select an item and specify a public link. If there is no public link, create one here.

Once a selection is made, a thumbnail will appear in the item field specifying the image, as shown below.

This completes the setup.
