Enabling and configuring the External Preview module
To allow external parties, for instance translators to see more contextual information (images, ...) when translating, SDL LiveContent Architect foresees an integration endpoint, the External Preview.
About this task
The External Preview endpoint accepts an external resource (XML) and will render it with all linked resources (images, ...) like in the web client preview.
Out-of-the box, this External Preview endpoint requires a regular login, like any other resource in the web client.
To allow users who are not logged in to the web client to access the External Preview functionality, we need to enable the system to execute the specific functionality with a pre-configured identity.
In this section we will explain how you can enable the External Preview module (Trisoft.InfoShare.Web.ExternalPreviewModule.dll) and how you can configure a fixed identity for all requests to this endpoint without requiring a login.
