Setting up publishing for Experience Manager in the deprecated publishing framework
If you are using the publishing framework that was deprecated in SDL Web 8, enable publishing content to a staging site for your users by showing and filling in the Session Preview tab in a Publication Target.

The URL is BASEURL/token.svc, where BASEURL is the URL of the host and port of the Discovery Service.
- User Name
- The name of a user authorized to access the Web service. You reconfigured this user name in the Ambient Data Framework configuration file, cd_ambient_conf.xml (originally in the Web service configuration file, cd_webservice_conf.xml) when you secured the Web service.
- Password
- The password that this user uses to authenticate against the Web service. You reconfigured this password in the Ambient Data Framework configuration file, cd_ambient_conf.xml (originally in the Web service configuration file, cd_webservice_conf.xml) when you secured the Web service.
- Use the Add button under Web site URLs to create a list of one or more URLs that represent the staging Web site, such as http://localhost:82 or http://myserver.mydomain:83/.
