AEM preview screenshot

[PiotrBan]

Hey All!

We are having a request from the client to present the screenshots of the AEM preview link in Workfront so they can then follow the approval process.

Is there a way to do it automatically (fusion?) without the person physically taking the screenshot and uploading to WF?

I explored the proofing functionality but it doesn't support 2-factor authenticated pages.

Any thoughts? Perhaps it would be somehow possible via AEM?

Best, Piotr

I'm not fully clear what you're asking so I'll guess: 

• there's an asset in AEM
• you want a user to see it in WF

From my recent experience: 

• The WF user can't see AEM objects unless they have a license
• UNLESS you create a proof, then a non-licensed user can see the proof/preview

I'm not clear what you mean with 2-factor auth'd pages. Workfront has a built in AEM connector and you can link an AEM document into WF - it functions as an actual document but is stored in AEM.

Hi Sven,

Many thanks for your reply. Let me explain the problem better.

What we're trying to achieve is not the proof from AEM Asset but the proof created directly from the AEM preview page.

There is an option to create the proof directly from the link but since we must provide the login, password and app confirmation to login to AEM, we can only create the proof showing the login page. This is the moment where I'm stuck.

So, I was wondering if there's any way to bypass the login to AEM? Or any other way to create the proof?

Best,

Piotr

Hi @PiotrBan 

I don't have access to AEM nor much experience with it so I can't give you a solid answer. 
But it sounds like the proofing from the AEM side side-steps Workfront. 

If you want a proof visible in Workfront, you need to first make the link document into Workfront and initiate the proof there. You can use API/Fusion to do that. 

If you're asking how to automate proofing directly from AEM, it looks like an AEM user is not automatically authenticated on Proof. You could take a look at the AEM API to see if it exposes a createProof method.
