Creating Connectors

You can create a connector at the license level or at the user level.

• License level Set up a connection where all users on your license can use it. In other words, all publications are done with the configuration of that connector.

• User level Set up a connection for each user. This is useful if you want each user to publish, or if different users have different access levels at the publishing destination.

How to Create a Connector

1. Do one of the following:

   • For a license-level connector

     1. In the upper-right of Flare Online, click your license avatar (or the first letter of your license if you haven't yet chosen an avatar image) and select License Settings.

     2. On the left, select Integrations.

     3. Select the Connectors tab (if it does not have focus).

     4. Click New Connector.

   • For a user-level connector

     1. In the upper-right of Flare Online, click your user avatar.

     2. On the left side of the profile, select Connectors.

     3. Click New Connector.

2. From Type, select Syndicate or SFTP. Depending on the connector type, the fields you see vary.

   Syndicate

   1. In the Settings area, do the following:

      1. Name Enter a name for the connector. It can be anything.

      2. Elevate URL Enter the Elevate URL (e.g., studio-[customer].xyleme.com)

      3. Syndicate URL Enter the Syndicate URL host name (e.g., core-[customer].bravais.com)

         Note It is the Delivery (CORe) API that is used to publish content to Syndicate. The base URL for the API call is https://core-[domain].bravais.com, where [domain] is the user's domain name. CORe stands for Core Object Repository, and bravais is the legacy name for Syndicate.

   2. In the Authentication area, enter the following:

      1. Client ID Enter the Elevate-generated Client ID.

      2. API Key Enter the Elevate-generated API Key.

   

   SFTP

   1. In the Settings area, enter the following:

      1. Name Enter a name for the connector. It can be anything.

      2. URL Enter the host name of the remote server or the computer where you want to publish the output files.

   2. In the Validation area, from Type select:

      • None Select this if there is no validation of the SFTP server.

      • Public Key Select this to validate the server against a public key.

   3. In the Authentication area, from Type select:

      • Password Select this if the server connection is authenticated by the user name and password.

      • Private Key Select this if the server connection is validated against a public or private key pair match. You need to supply the private key and password for the server.

   

3. Click Save.
