PDF Viewer Component requires Client ID's per domain

Hi Team,

 

We are using PDF Viewer Component on AEM Cloud service.

There we also have used the config org.apache.sling.caconfig.impl.override.OsgiConfigurationOverrideProvider~pdf-viewer.cfg.json where we add PDF Client ID that we created from link https://acrobatservices.adobe.com/dc-integration-creation-app-cdn/main.html

 

Now, the issue is I need different Client ID's per domain to make the component working on all the Author and Publisher environment, so I need to create 6 Client ID's which is also create 6 projects in Developer Console, so is there any way where we can use the same client ID for all environments Author and Publish instance.

 

Thanks,

SD

Hi @sdusane ,

 

As per the help text provided while adding allowed domain in Developer Console, the PDF Embed API only supports a single allowed domain. Comma-separated values and Wildcards are not supported for this API.

 

It is recommended that you create a separate credential for each sub-domain.

 

 

Although I have not tried this myself, you can see if adding the root domain works for sub-domains. i.e. Add example.com in allowed domain to allow www.example.com, stg.example.com, dev.example.com and more such subdomains.

 

Thanks,

Ram

Hi @sdusane ,

Yes, you can use a single Client ID for all your environments. You do not need to create a separate Client ID or a separate project in the Adobe Developer Console for each domain.

The solution is to configure your single Client ID to recognize and allow all the domains where your AEM environments are running.

How to Configure a Single Client ID for Multiple Domains

The Adobe PDF Embed API uses the Client ID to authenticate requests. For security reasons, each Client ID has an "Allowed Domains" list. The API will only work on domains specified in this list.

Here is how to set it up:

1. Configure the Adobe Developer Console Project

  - Go to your Adobe Developer Console project: https://console.adobe.io/

  - Select the project that contains your PDF Embed API credential.

  - Find your PDF Embed API service and click on it to view its details.

  - Look for the "Allowed Domains" field (it might also be called "Redirect URI patterns" or "Authorized domains").

  - In this field, you need to list all the domains for your Author and Publish instances. You can separate them with a comma.

author-aem.mycompany.com, publish-aem.mycompany.com, localhost:4502, localhost:4503, dev-author.myapp.com, dev-publish.myapp.com, qa-author.myapp.com, qa-publish.myapp.com

 

Include all your environment URLs (author/publish, dev, stage, prod).

Don't forget to include localhost for local development instances.
  - Save the changes to your project.

2. Configure AEM's OSGi Configuration

Your approach of using a Configuration override file (pdf-viewer.cfg.json) is correct. You just need to point all your environments to use that same, single Client ID.

Your pdf-viewer.cfg.json file should contain the one Client ID:

{ "clientId": "your-single-client-id-here" }

Ensure this configuration is deployed to all your AEM environments (Author and Publish for all stages). This ensures every instance uses the same Client ID.

Thanks,
Amit

    Hi @amitvishwakarma ,

     

    I am using AEM Cloud and my comments are below :

    1. Being Sys Administrator on Developer Console, I dont see the option to edit the allowed Domains sections, so not a solution for me.

    2. I created new credentials from link https://acrobatservices.adobe.com/dc-integration-creation-app-cdn/main.html? and tried to put all the domains in text box but it is not allowing me to add more than 1 domain.

    3. I created new project directly in Developer Console and tried to put multiple domains, that too is not acceptable to put all the domains.

     

    So at the end, nothing is working for me to add more domains with same client ID, can you pls suggest if there is any other way.

     

    Thanks,

    SD
