Integrate remote AEM Assets with AEM Sites

Hi All,
 

I am trying to connect my AEM Sites cloud instance to my AEM Assets cloud instance using the documentation at Integrate remote AEM Assets with AEM Sites

As per the per-requisites I have done the below - 

  1. Set environment variables for ASSET_DELIVERY_REPOSITORY_ID,  ASSET_DELIVERY_IMS_CLIENT
    I have also configured .cfg.json for NextGenDynamicMediaConfigImpl and deployed it to my DEV Sites instance. 

     
  2. Configure the Image v3 component in the AEM Sites instance.

There is also an additional point stating - 

  • IMS access to sign into remote DAM AEM as a Cloud Service instance. It refers to the Sites author that has IMS access to the remote DAM environment.

How do we do that? I couldn’t find the documentation notes on the above point.

 

If I simply do #1 and #2 steps, I see the usual v3 Image Component - 


However, as per the documentation I should see the option of Pick drop-down with options Local and Remote.


How can I configure the sites cloud instance to pick assets from assets cloud instance?

Thanks,

Nagesh

hi ​@NageshRaja

To grant IMS access to your Sites authors for the remote AEM Assets instance, ensure the users are properly provisioned in the Adobe Admin Console with access to both environments.

Log in to the Adobe Admin Console as a System or Product Admin.

  • Navigate to your AEM as a Cloud Service product profiles for the Assets environment (e.g., "AEM Users_[env-ID]").

  • Add the Sites authors' IMS users (Enterprise or Federated IDs) to these profiles to grant read access to Assets.

  • Repeat for the Sites environment profiles to ensure seamless SSO across both.

Hi ​@giuseppebaglio, We already have AEM Users product profile on both the separate programs. Still the issue exists. Is it possible it takes more than 1h to sync?
