1. General Information
Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) Assets is Adobe's enterprise digital asset management (DAM) solution, part of the Adobe Experience Manager platform. It enables organizations to store, organize, manage, and distribute digital assets — including images, videos, documents, and rich media — at scale, with powerful metadata, versioning, and workflow capabilities. AEM Assets exposes REST and Assets APIs for programmatic access to the asset repository.
The OneTeg Adobe Assets AEM Connector integrates with the AEM Assets API, enabling users to manage and retrieve digital assets directly from OneTeg automation workflows. This connector supports three authentication methods: Jwt (Adobe Service Account), Custom authentication, and Bearer token.
The endpoint URL is specific to your AEM environment. Jwt authentication (Adobe Service Account) is the recommended method for AEM as a Cloud Service integrations, as it manages token exchange automatically using your Adobe Developer Console credentials.
2. Connect Adobe Assets AEM to OneTeg
The recommended Jwt method uses Adobe Service Account credentials created in the Adobe Developer Console. Steps 1–3 cover obtaining these credentials. Step 4 is optional and covers obtaining a Bearer access token. The Custom method reuses the same credentials in a manual token exchange configuration.
Step 1 - Create a Project with AEM API Access in the Adobe Developer Console
Navigate to https://developer.adobe.com/console and sign in with your Adobe ID. Create a new project (or open an existing one) and add the AEM (Experience Manager) API. When prompted for the credential type, select Service Account (JWT) to generate JWT credentials.
Step 2 - Generate a Public/Private Key Pair
When configuring the Service Account (JWT) credential, generate a public/private key pair (the Developer Console can create one for you). Download the keypair and securely store the private key (a PEM file) — you will paste its contents into the Private Key (PEM) field in OneTeg.
Step 3 - Collect the JWT Credential Details
From the Service Account (JWT) credential page, collect the values you will need in OneTeg: Client ID (API Key), Client Secret, Technical Account ID, Organization ID, and the Private Key. The IMS-related URLs are standard Adobe values shown in the settings table in Section 3.
The IMS Endpoint (https://ims-na1.adobelogin.com/ims/exchange/jwt) and Meta Scope Claim URL (https://ims-na1.adobelogin.com/s/ent_aem_cloud_api) are standard Adobe values for AEM as a Cloud Service. Keep your Client Secret and Private Key confidential.
Step 4 (Optional) - Obtain a Bearer Access Token
If you prefer the Bearer authentication method, you can exchange your JWT credentials for an access token by calling the Adobe IMS exchange endpoint, or generate a token from the Developer Console. Copy the resulting access token — this is what you will enter into the token field in OneTeg.
Bearer access tokens for AEM expire after a limited period. With the Bearer method you will need to manually obtain a new token and update it in OneTeg when it expires, making this method less suitable for long-running automations. Jwt authentication avoids this by exchanging tokens automatically.
3. Connection Settings and Configuration for OneTeg
In OneTeg, navigate to Connections and create a new connection using the Adobe Assets AEM Connector. Choose your preferred authentication method below.
Option 1 — Jwt
Use this option for production AEM as a Cloud Service integrations. Uses Adobe Service Account credentials and exchanges tokens automatically (Steps 1–3).
