What is the "cred file" that is referred to?

The link - http://cloudinary.com/documentation/cloudcontrol_integration#rails - says this:

"You need to initialize Cloudinary's settings by reading cloudControl's CRED_FILE which includes the CLOUDINARY_URLvariable. Here is a sample code you can add to an initializer in your Rails project (e.g.,config/initializers/cloudinary.rb): ... "

What is this CRED_FILE? The pasted code does not work right off the bat for Rails, so I expect there's some more configuration I am missing.

  In the cloudControl platrform, you require credentials to connect to plugins services. CRED_FILE is the path of the creds.json file containing the Add-on credentials.

  To use cloudinary with heroku for image uploading in a Rails app, is it necessary to also use cloudcontrol? Cloudcontrol looks like a separate service.

  Heroku and cloudControl are indeed two separate PaaS services. The URL which was referred at the question is relevant to cloudControl, not Heroku.
