Connect to your website via FTP

The easiest way to get all the pages and templates is by using a FTP client. Simply connect to your website and download all the pages locally. There are two different methods:

Method 1 - download the pages and templates separately

Download the templates and pages separately. Using this method the content of the pages will be kept separated from the content of the templates. If you want to go with this method follow the steps below:

The email campaigns and mailing lists can also be accessed using the API endpoints. Please see the Exporting other data section for more details.

Exporting other data from Business Catalyst

Exporting other items like blog posts, News items, FAQ items and so on can be done using module_data.

Before proceeding we recommend installing the free BC API Discovery app. This app will help you quickly get the module_data syntax you need and will also allow you to explore the API endpoints you can use to export your data.

create a blank page, make sure it does not have a template assigned
open up the BC API Discovery tool and locate the data you want to export. Let's take blog posts for example
select the fields you want to export, in this example we will get only the postTitle, postFeaturedImage and postBody
you can add additional filters, for example blog posts created by a certain author, or created after a specific date or in a specific category. Depending on what you are exporting you can add different rules to filter the results
copy the syntax and paste it into the blank page created at step 1
edit the limit parameter and set its value to 500. 500 is the maximum number of items that can be rendered by module_data.
publish the page and open it up in the front-end
you will now have the blog posts rendered in JSON format
if you have more than 500 blog posts go to the module_data syntax, edit the skip parameter and set its value to 500. This will basically render the next 500 items, think of it like the second page. To render the 'third page' change the skip parameter to 1000 and so on.

For more information about API endpoints and module_data samples have a look at the Developer reference.

Downloading your site archive

An alternative way of downloading your website is the ‘website archive’ feature.

In order to make it easier for website owners to download their website’s content, a zip archive will be available for download. Zip archives are compatible with most operating systems, with no requirement to download any additional software.

Important: The system periodically generates a zip archive containing your website’s resources. Any content that is modified/added/generated at a later time will be added to the archive file the next time the archive is generated.

Important: You can only access and download the website archive if your user has the ‘Administer Website’ permission assigned.

There are a couple of ways to obtain the website archive:

In the Admin interface, go to Site Settings -> Site Management and click the ‘Download Site Archive’ button:

For expired CCM websites, after login you will be redirected to the CCM Upgrade screen, where the following link is available: ‘Download The Site Archive’:

Limitations: The generated file will contain only part of the data from your site. Some information might not be included in the archive.

The following resources are currently included in the website archive:

Pages
Page Templates
Module Layouts
Static files
Apps
Content Holders
System Pages
Email Templates
Web Apps

Note: Please check this page periodically, as we will gradually add more resource types to the archive.

Configure Adobe Sign SSO

Adobe Resource Synchronizer Login Items In Chrome

Before configuration, contact the Adobe Sign Client support team to add your domain in the Adobe Sign allow list. Here's how to add the domain:
a. The Adobe Sign Client support team sends you a randomly generated token. For your domain, the token will be like the following: adobe-sign-verification= xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
b. Publish the verification token in a DNS text record, and notify the Adobe Sign Client support team.
Note
This can take a few days, or longer. Note that DNS propagation delays mean that a value published in DNS might not be visible for an hour or more. Your IT administrator should be knowledgeable about how to publish this token in a DNS text record.
c. When you notify the Adobe Sign Client support team through the support ticket, after the token is published, they validate the domain and add it to your account.
d. Generally, here's how to publish the token on a DNS record:
- Sign in to your domain account
- Find the page for updating the DNS record. This page might be called DNS Management, Name Server Management, or Advanced Settings.
- Find the TXT records for your domain.
- Add a TXT record with the full token value supplied by Adobe.
- Save your changes.
In a different web browser window, sign in to your Adobe Sign company site as an administrator.
In the SAML menu, select Account Settings > SAML Settings.
In the SAML Settings section, perform the following steps:
a. Under SAML Mode, select SAML Mandatory.
b. Select Allow Echosign Account Administrators to log in using their Echosign Credentials.
c. Under User Creation, select Automatically add users authenticated through SAML.
d. Paste Azure Ad Identifier, which you have copied from the Azure portal into the Idp Entity ID text box.
e. Paste Login URL, which you have copied from Azure portal into the Idp Login URL text box.
f. Paste Logout URL, which you have copied from the Azure portal into the Idp Logout URL text box.
g. Open your downloaded Certificate(Base64) file in Notepad. Copy the content of it into your clipboard, and then paste it to the IdP Certificate text box.
h. Select Save Changes.

Create Adobe Sign test user

To enable Azure AD users to sign in to Adobe Sign, they must be provisioned into Adobe Sign. This is a manual task.

Note

You can use any other Adobe Sign user account creation tools or APIs provided by Adobe Sign to provision Azure AD user accounts.

Sign in to your Adobe Sign company site as an administrator.
In the menu on the top, select Account. Then, in the left pane, select Users & Groups > Create a new user.
In the Create New User section, perform the following steps:
a. Type the Email Address, First Name, and Last Name of a valid Azure AD account you want to provision into the related text boxes.
b. Select Create User.

Note

The Azure Active Directory account holder receives an email that includes a link to confirm the account, before it becomes active.

Test SSO

In this section, you test your Azure AD single sign-on configuration with following options.

Click on Test this application in Azure portal. This will redirect to Adobe Sign Sign-on URL where you can initiate the login flow.
Go to Adobe Sign Sign-on URL directly and initiate the login flow from there.
You can use Microsoft My Apps. When you click the Adobe Sign tile in the My Apps, you should be automatically signed in to the Adobe Sign for which you set up the SSO. For more information about the My Apps, see Introduction to the My Apps.
