Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Clear answers to the most common questions about implementing and using Adobe Vendor ID.

Does implementing Vendor ID have an additional cost from Adobe?

Adobe Vendor ID is a feature available to partners using Adobe Content Server technology. Its implementation typically does not involve an additional license fee from Adobe, but it does require an investment in development and infrastructure to build and maintain the authentication web service.

What development effort is involved?

The primary effort lies in creating your own secure authentication web service and modifying your client application to use the new RMSDK APIs. The complexity varies based on your existing infrastructure, but our team can provide a precise estimate based on your specific case.

Can I migrate my existing Adobe ID users to Vendor ID?

It's not a direct migration, but rather a coexistence. You can implement the "Join Accounts" workflow, allowing users to link their existing Adobe ID with their new Vendor ID-based account. This ensures they maintain access to all their previous content seamlessly.

Is the process secure?

Yes. All communication is conducted over HTTPS. Furthermore, the system is designed so that you maintain full control over your users' authentication. You never share user passwords with Adobe; you only confirm their identity and return a unique identifier.
