Deploying cartridges

Procedure

  1. On the SDL Tridion installation media, navigate to the folder Content Delivery\configuration\samples.
  2. Copy cd_ambient_conf_sample.xml to:
    • on .NET platform, copy the file to your Web application \config directory
    • on Java platform, copy the file to your Web application WEB-INF\classes directory:
  3. Rename cd_ambient_conf_sample.xml to cd_ambient_conf.xml.
  4. Add the path to the cd_ambient_conf.xml configuration file to your classpath.
  5. If you have not packaged the cartridge XML configuration file in the cartridge JAR file, copy these files to the same location as your cd_ambient_conf.xml file.
  6. Open the cd_ambient_conf.xml file in a text editor. In the <Cartridges> section, specify the cartridge XML configuration files, for example:
    <Cartridges>
            <Cartridge File="/cartridge1_config.xml" />
            <Cartridge File="/audiencemanager_cartridge_config.xml" />
            <Cartridge File="/session_cartridge_config.xml" />
            <Cartridge File="/smarttarget_cartridge_config.xml" />
    </Cartridges>
  7. Find the <Security> section and enclose it in comments. This element is only needed if you intend to set up OAuth authentication.
  8. Save and close cd_ambient_conf.xml.
