ACS4 questions / developer needed

Hi,
I've been asked to investigate / set up Adobe Content Server 4 - and integrate it with our website.
I've tried Googling around to understand better how ACS4 works to no avail - so could someone explain how ACS4 works step by step? How would it integrate with a website?
I guess it goes something like this:
1. someone buys an ebook online
2. the website sends a request to ACS
3. ACS sends the customer a link to download the ebook
4. the customer installs the ebook
5. the ebook sends a request to adobe to check the DRM request
My second question / request - Can anyone point me in the right direction for information on integration or post examples?
OR BETTER STILL - any developers with experience integrating ACS4 with ecommerce websites drop me an email at kkettle (at) itgovernance (dot) co (dot) uk
Thanks,
Keir

Keir,
Get/Read the documentation that is included with the Content Server 4 code drop. Specifically the User Manual, Quick Start Guide and Technical Reference.
The simple purchase workflow boils down to this:
1.) User Purchases book on a store website
2.) Store generates a Signed URL link to ACS4 site
3.) User clicks on Signed URL link which responds with a purchase token (.acsm file) which gets downloaded and processed by Digital Editions on the users's computer
4.) Digital Editions contact server listed in purchase token to acquire license
5.) License is downloaded by Digital Editions, along with the URL to the encrypted book bytes
6.) Digital Editions downloads the encrypted book bytes
7.) Digital Editions copies license into encrypted book bytes
8.) Digital Edition opens the book
There are of course many variations on this, and Section 2 of the User Guide handle this in detail (and with diagrams).

  • Questions/conditions/needs related to the PBX

    Dear Cisco,
    I act on behalf of my boss who is planning a larger IT investment, but needs some background information.
    So far, we used an open-source free PBX, but after we've recognised its deficiencies, we decided to buy a commercial product.
    To tell the truth, we hesitate between some products, and we need some confirmations related to the concerned PBXs. One of them is Cisco.
    So our questions/conditions/needs are as follows:
    The PBX needs to be an IP PBX.
    Basic PBX features that we need: conferencing, video calling, voicemail, call queuing, IVR.
    The type of all the desktop phone we use is Grandstream GXP 2000. The PBX should be compatible with this device.
    We have a special corporate VoIP SIP phone ("softphone") developed by Ozeki's third party SDK. I am confident that we will continue to use this SDK, so the PBX should be compatible with this software.
    And the last one: we would like to use Android smartphones as the part of our telephone system, so the PBX should support mobile extensions.
    Please indicate if there is a solution that fulfills the above requirements. If so, please suggest me the proper product/service here or send me an e-mail to [email protected]
    I wanted to post this message here intentionally, because any further personal comments/experiences coming from the community would be appreciated.
    Best regards,

    Questions you need to answer to receive better help... please answer as much as you can, that relates to your problem, back in your original message
    If a program is not showing on the Cloud screen, it is most likely because your computer does not meet the specifications
    FOR EXAMPLE, Premiere Pro requires a 64bit computer - Not all apps displayed for download | Creative Cloud desktop app, Adobe Application Manager
    What error message do you see, or what is the screen you see that does not work? (examples... a BLANK login screen, or a spinning wheel)

    Are you using Windows or Mac, and exactly which version? (include "dot" numbers like Windows 8.1 or Mac 10.9.3)

    What Firewall do you use, and have you tried turning it off to download?
    What anti-virus do you use, and have you tried turning it off to download?
    Has this ever worked before?  If yes, do you recall any changes you made to the program, such as adding Plug-ins, etc.?
    Did you make any changes to your system, such as updating hardware, printers or drivers; or installing/uninstalling any programs since this last worked?
    Are you using an account with Administrator Privileges? Run as Administrator will sometimes help (this EXAMPLE http://forums.adobe.com/thread/969395 is for Encore + "All" Premiere)

    Does anyone know if there's a way to change the questions themselves?  (Frankly, they have to be the most ridiculous security questions I've ever seen.  A good security question should be one that you'll have no problem remembering the answer to, even if you're asked years later.  To answer one from the third batch, I'd have to make something up, which makes it unlikely I'll remember the answer later.  And I certainly don't want to have to write the answers down somewhere.)

    I have inadvertently infringe copyright on facebook and they have subsequently barred me from uploading any more videos.
    The question I need answered is ( and not able to find the answer on any of you help pages).....
    Do the following have free copyright to publish on facebook and U Tube?
    1.Garage band sounds?
    2.Slide show...Sample music and Theme music?
    3.iMovie...iMovie sounds and iLife sounds ie.Medal Ceremony and Memorial etc?
    I note one can publish to shared net places directly from iMovie so one assumes these are copyright free for non-profit making and non-comercial use.
    It is impossible to contact apple direct.No email address.We put our selves at risk without this knowledge and like applemac, facebook will not communicate direct.Will applemac please take responsibility for copyright/the above that they are all too willing to sell to us but not support us with that knowledge.
    I have Mac OS X Snow Leopard version 10.6.2 (2009 bought in 2010)

    Thank you Klaus1.The large font, I copied and pasted from my mail box.I'm visually impaired...not to a huge degree but it helps to use the large font.I believe you are right about the copyright on the imac stuff but if facebook decide otherwise, you have to reply electronically to their challenge.If you can't provide a reference directly from the copyright owner then they remove the video.I believe this is a programmed response and no human is involved which now makes it impossible for me to get my video uploading restored.They detect added soundtrack automatically and then challenge.There are many others in the same boat and facebook will not communicate.They have various discussion sites on which I have left messages including Mark Zuckerbergs own facebook but I don't think anyone from facebook ever reads them.I intend to start a second facebook which I can use purely to get my videos uploaded as a lot of my friends enjoy them BUT don't want fall foul of their programming again.If only iMac would put something on the net to this effect.I think it is so unfair that with modern technology it is impossible to contact these large conglomerates personally and receive an email response.I tried emailing [email protected] but I got a failure notice.If you have any ideas on how to get verification from apple direct, I would be very grateful.Thank You.

  • About Java 2 opaque font color question, help needed!

    About Java 2 opaque font color question, help needed!
    I was trying to test opaque font (the string has a foreground color and a background color), but i can't find the method for doing that.
    i can change foreground by Graphics2D.setPaint(Color.black).
    Anybody know how to change the background of the string?
    Thanks!

    Hi. The way I'd do it would be to use the font metrics to find the length of a string and draw a rectangle and then drawstring over the rectangle. If you want an example, I can post it although I suspect theres a better way.
