Connection configuration

See the following pages for detailed information about connecting to and configuring your external DAM solution:

Essentially, you:

  • Provide connection credentials for your external solution.

  • Enable the subapp to display in the Magnolia Assets app.

  • Configure the cache if necessary.

You can create or edit the configuration in the JCR or the File System (YAML) under <module-name>/external-dams/<definition-name>.

Before you configure the connection, make sure you know:

  • Which solution you want to connect to. Default implementations are provided for:

    • AWS S3

    • Bynder

  • Connection credentials for your solution.

If you want to connect to another third-party tool, extend the Magnolia DAM API and create your own asset provider
There are several additional DAM connector modules. For more details, see Digital asset management modules.
