Destination connection requirements

Before configuring a destination in Real-Time CDP Collaboration, obtain the credentials and connection information required by the destination provider.

This page summarizes the authentication methods available in Collaboration. For instructions on creating credentials, assigning permissions, configuring network access, or preparing the destination system, refer to the linked Adobe Experience Platform destination documentation.

NOTE
The linked Adobe Experience Platform documentation describes the standard destination workflow. Some steps, fields, or options might not apply when configuring the destination in Real-Time CDP Collaboration.

Connector notes connector-notes

Review the following connector-specific authentication methods and workflow differences before configuring a destination.

Amazon S3 amazon-s3

Collaboration supports Access Key and Assumed Role authentication. Access-key authentication requires an access key and secret access key. Assumed-role authentication requires the ARN of an AWS IAM role that Adobe can assume.

For credential, role, and permission setup, see Authenticate to the Amazon S3 destination.

SFTP sftp

Collaboration supports SFTP with Password and SFTP with SSH Key authentication. Both methods require the server domain, port, and username. The port defaults to 22.

For SSH-key format, server, network, and allowlist requirements, see SFTP authentication information.

Azure Blob Storage azure-blob-storage

Collaboration authenticates to Azure Blob Storage by using a storage-account connection string.

For instructions on obtaining the connection string and assigning storage permissions, see Authenticate to the Azure Blob Storage destination.

Google Cloud Storage google-cloud-storage

Collaboration requires a Google Cloud Storage access key ID and secret access key generated through Google Cloud Storage interoperability settings.

For credential-generation and bucket-permission requirements, see Authenticate to the Google Cloud Storage destination.

Snowflake Batch snowflake-batch

Snowflake Batch uses Snowflake data sharing instead of exporting files to customer-managed storage. In Collaboration, there is no separate authentication step. Enter the Snowflake account ID, region, Private Link status, and account-ownership confirmation during destination creation.

For account preparation and private-listing requirements, see Snowflake Batch destination documentation.

Data Landing Zone data-landing-zone

Data Landing Zone is provisioned by Adobe and does not require a separate authentication step in Collaboration. During destination creation, specify the destination folder path and file output settings.

For information about accessing an AWS-provisioned Data Landing Zone, see Authenticate to the AWS-provisioned Data Landing Zone.

After you obtain the required connection information, configure and manage a destination.
