Do all sites launched on AEM need to be logged into when publicly accessing it or is there a way to turn

this feature off?

 

Thanks

Hi Ram,

you did not mention what happens when you access the site from a desktop?

AEM by default does not put authentication on a site on the publish instance. Someone must have enabled authentication for your site. Can you check the page properties for your root page. Under the advanced tab, check the closed user group settings. [1]

Also check http://localhost:4503/system/console/configMgr/com.day.cq.auth.impl.LoginSelectorHandler

The following page explains all this [2]

Public sites are usually not protected unless you specifically turn on authentication for your content path(site)[1]

By default your author instance does not allow anonymous access, but on the publish instance, anonymous access is allowed for /content where set by your security settings.

As Opkar suggested, you can go for Login based [OR] Fully Anonymous [OR] Login + Anonymous. These can be configured.

Yes I want the site to be fully anonymous. The login I'm talking about turning off is the AEM Welcome Screen.

Can someone direct me how to turn this security feature off?

 

Thanks

The welcome screen is only present in the author instance after you login. When your publish instance starts it should take your straight to Geometrix (unless you installed with nosamplecontent)

What URL:port are you accessing?

You can change the root page that is shown by configuring the Day CQ Root mapping OSGI config
