Connect to a Content Management System

Understand how you can connect to a content management system with Adobe FrameMaker using the Connection Manager dialog

Out of the box, Adobe FrameMaker comes with CMS connectors for Adobe Experience Manager, DitaExchange, Microsoft SharePoint, or SharePoint Online.

To configure the CMS connector for your CMS, do the following:

1. In Adobe FrameMaker, choose File > CMS > Connection Manager.

2. Choose the connection type — Adobe Experience Manager, DitaExchange, Microsoft SharePoint or SharePoint Online.

3. Specify the connection details, such as server name, user name, and password to connect to your CMS. Also, specify a unique name for the connection.

   Note: The value in the Name field uniquely identifies each connection. All connections are added to the favorites list. The list can store a maximum of sixteen favorites. If you try to store the seventeenth connection, the first connection on the list is removed to accommodate it. The connection list works in a first in, first out manner.
   Note: To delete a listed connection, select it from the list. Click Remove.

4. Click Connect.

   The Repository Manager lists the contents of the selected server.
