ADOBE CONTRIBUTE CS3 47 User Guide Contribute lets you share website connection information by embedding website information in a connection-key file. Because the connection key is encrypted with a password, any network or File Transfer Protocol (FTP) login information you send in the file remains secure and can be accessed only through Contribute. You can either e-mail the file to users, or save it to your computer for users to download and import. Note: FTP and Secure FTP (SFTP) connection keys can be used across platforms; LAN connection keys are platform specific. After receiving a connection key, a user double-clicks it to start the connection process. Because the file is encrypted, the user must know the password that the administrator defined for the key. Connection keys also specify what role settings to apply. When the user supplies the correct password, Contribute automatically makes a connection to the site and allows page edits as defined for the associated Contribute role. If you are using CPS to manage users, you must add users to your website before they can connect and begin using Contribute to edit the website (see "Adding users to your website (CPS only)" on page 44). After you have added users to the website, you can send them a connection key to connect. You can also have users type connect:server domain name (where server domain name is the name of the server where CPS is installed) in the Contribute browser address bar to connect to the website. The procedure for sending a connection key varies depending on whether you are using CPS to manage your website or not. If you're not using CPS, see "Sending connection keys for websites" on page 47. If you are using CPS to manage users, see "Sending connections for CPS managed sites" on page 49. Sending connection keys for websites Using the Export Connection Wizard (Windows) or Export Connection Assistant (Macintosh), you can easily set up connections to websites for other users by sending them a connection key. Note: To send a website connection key to other users, you must create one or more Contribute website connections to share. If you need to create a Contribute website connection, see "Installing Contribute and creating an administrative connection" on page 21. If your website is managed by CPS, see "Sending connections for CPS managed sites" on page 49 for information about sending connection keys. To create a website connection key to share with users: 1 Select Edit > Administer Websites (Windows) or Contribute > Administer Websites (Macintosh), and select the website you want to administer from the submenu. 2 If the website has no administrator, click Yes when a dialog box asks whether you want to become the website administrator. Then enter and confirm an administrator password for the website, and click OK.

ADOBE CONTRIBUTE CS3

User Guide

Contribute lets you share website connection information by embedding website information in a

connection-key

file

. Because the connection key is encrypted with a password, any network or File Transfer Protocol (FTP) login

information you send in the file remains secure and can be accessed only through Contribute. You can either e-mail

the file to users, or save it to your computer for users to download and import.

Note:

FTP and Secure FTP (SFTP) connection keys can be used across platforms; LAN connection keys are platform

specific.

After receiving a connection key, a user double-clicks it to start the connection process. Because the file is encrypted,

the user must know the password that the administrator defined for the key. Connection keys also specify what role

settings to apply. When the user supplies the correct password, Contribute automatically makes a connection to the

site and allows page edits as defined for the associated Contribute role.

If you are using CPS to manage users, you must add users to your website before they can connect and begin using

Contribute to edit the website (see “Adding users to your website (CPS only)” on page 44). After you have added

users to the website, you can send them a connection key to connect.

You can also have users type connect:server domain name (where server domain name is the name of the server

where CPS is installed) in the Contribute browser address bar to connect to the website.

The procedure for sending a connection key varies depending on whether you are using CPS to manage your website

or not. If you’re not using CPS, see “Sending connection keys for websites” on page 47. If you are using CPS to

manage users, see “Sending connections for CPS managed sites” on page 49.

Sending connection keys for websites

Using the Export Connection Wizard (Windows) or Export Connection Assistant (Macintosh), you can easily set up

connections to websites for other users by sending them a connection key.

Note:

To send a website connection key to other users, you must create one or more Contribute website connections to

share. If you need to create a Contribute website connection, see “Installing Contribute and creating an administrative

connection” on page 21.

If your website is managed by CPS, see “Sending connections for CPS managed sites” on page 49 for information

about sending connection keys.

To create a website connection key to share with users:

Select Edit > Administer Websites (Windows) or Contribute > Administer Websites (Macintosh), and select the

website you want to administer from the submenu.

If the website has no administrator, click Yes when a dialog box asks whether you want to become the website

administrator. Then enter and confirm an administrator password for the website, and click OK.
