trying to use Metadata based permissions for show/hide assets Metadata-Driven Permissions in AEM Assets | Adobe Experience Manager this is working fine for assets deny all assets using rep:ntNames="dam:Asset"and then allowing based on metadata property status="Approved "     Now I am trying to do similar for a folder,i.e. I am hiding all folders based on rep:ntNames="sling:Folder"  now how to allow specific folders under this folder based on a property value at folder level or at jcr:content level?? Please advice  Thank you very much  

 We’re running AEM as a Cloud Service with the default Dispatcher setup. For anonymous users, caching works fine. But for logged-in users (after SSO), we don’t want certain pages (like /content/myapp/us/en/dashboard.html) to be cached at all - they should always be fresh from Publish.I tried adding rules like this in dispatcher:/0018 {/type "allow"/glob "/content/myapp/us/en/dashboard.html"/headers {"Cache-Control" "no-store"}}but when I test the page is being cached by Dispatcher  

We are using path-based servlets to handle contact form submissions. These endpoints are accessible via tools like Postman and cURL. Our infrastructure includes AEM as a Cloud Service and Akamai CDN. By default, AEM’s CSRF protection does not block requests originating from Postman or cURL. Although we have CSRF configurations implemented in our codebase, these tools can still bypass the protection. We are looking for a way to block such requests. One option is to configure Akamai to block requests based on the User-Agent header, such as those sent by Postman. Could you please suggest the best approach to effectively block these types of requests? { "filter.enable.safe.user.agents": false, "filter.methods": [ "DELETE", "POST", "PUT" ], "filter.safe.user.agents": [ "Apache-HttpClient/*", "Jakarta Commons-HttpClient/*", "Jakarta-Commons-VFS", "curl/*", "Wget/*", "WebDAVFS/*", "Microsoft-WebDAV-MiniRedir/*", "Ruby", "Adobe-Campaign/*", "Form

In my Publish interface, there is a form where I enter all the required details. Upon submitting the form, the page creation should occur in the Author instance. When the form is hosted on the Author instance, submitting it successfully creates the page in Author. Similarly, when the form is hosted on the local Publish instance, submitting it creates the page in Publish. I need help ensuring that, regardless of where the form is hosted, the page creation always happens in the Author instance.

Hi Community,I have a simple service with an OSGi config. After deploying, the service always uses defaults what I have in code - not picking from the environment valiables.Here is my codepackage com.acme.core.schedulers;import org.apache.sling.commons.scheduler.Scheduler;import org.osgi.service.component.annotations.*;import org.osgi.service.metatype.annotations.*;@8220494(service = Runnable.class, immediate = true)@Designate(ocd = ACLCleanpSchedulerConfig.class) // not a factorypublic class ACLCleanpScheduler implements Runnable {@ObjectClassDefinition(name = "Acme - ACL Cleanp Scheduler")public @interface ACLCleanpSchedulerConfig {@AttributeDefinition(name="Enabled")boolean enabled() default false;@AttributeDefinition(name="Cron")String cron() default "0/10 * * * * ?";@AttributeDefinition(name="Base Path")String base_path() default "/content/dam";}@3214626 private Scheduler scheduler;private volatile ACLCleanpSchedulerConfig cfg;@580286 @9182423protected void activate(ACLCleanpSched

I have 3 years of experience working with AEM 6.5, and 1 year ago, I achieved the Sites Developer Professional certificate. Now, I'm confused about how to advance my career further. Should I explore other Adobe products, such as Target, Web SDK, and AEP, or should I focus more on AEM and aim for the AEM Sites Developer Expert Certification? What should I do? Should I deepen my knowledge of AEM Sites or explore other products?How to advance further in my professional journey?

I'm unable to push code or use any commands like aio aem:rde:status. I've used the following command also to disable SSL checking and still the error is being thrown.Used the export NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0 npm config set strict-ssl false   commands also, I have selected my org but through aio aem:rde:setup command and it was showing as setup complete. Please find the screenshots attached for reference.

Hi,We had a requirement to rename an asset folder , so we used move* option to rename it to a new name. I checked the update references and republish option and the refrences are updated as expected. But for the content fragments inside the renamed folder , i see the cq:parentPath property isn't updated. It's showing old name value. Attaching screenshot ( see the path I have opened is "beyond" but cq:parentPath property still shows "beyondinc" which was the initial value of folder name.

Hi,We recently completed the stage deployment with the updated index. However, asset search is not working for all assets. When I try searching for certain asset IDs in stage, it returns 0 results. I also verified using Query Builder, but the results are still missing. Interestingly, if I edit an asset’s properties (without making any changes) and simply save and close, that asset ID then appears in the query results.   updated index is damAssetLucene-12-custom-5.previous index is damAssetLucene-12-custom-2.in dev created multiple indexes and it was working when changed to custom-5. In stage this could be happening bcz of transition form custom-2 to custom-5? In stage :   In dev: if that is the issue how to resolve it? since it is already updated. Thanks.

Scaling Content Distribution with Adobe Marketing Hub by Diana Peterson I’m excited to share with you Adobe’s own implementation of AEM Assets Content Hub, which we co-brand as Adobe Marketing Hub. I’m responsible for this implementation and for how Adobe has successfully onboarded the Experience Manager Content Hub to scale content distribution to over 40,000 users - employees and agencies globally - across regions and different business units. This Content Hub is:  transforming our ability to easily locate assets to reuse, and remix - using Adobe’s generative AI capabilities - thus getting more value from the content we have  reducing our cost of maintaining the Content Hub, as we are configuring a product, as opposed to the cost of a team of developers to code and maintain a custom brand portal.    Branding and Customization  At Adobe, we have branded our Content Hub as the Adobe Marketing Hub, and it's been incredibly easy to configure and align

Facing this Error, Please help me I tried every past community solution.

might be best explained with an example. Thanks for the assistance. EDIT: Accordingt to this page https://sling.apache.org/apidocs/sling11/org/apache/sling/servlets/annotations/SlingServletFilter.html#pattern--), pattern accepts regex value. This one works.(service = Filter.class, property = { "sling.filter.scope=REQUEST", "sling.filter.pattern=^/content/myapp/sg/en/login.*", "service.ranking:Integer=100" })This one does not work.(service = Filter.class, property = { "sling.filter.scope=REQUEST", "sling.filter.pattern=^/content/myapp/sg/en/(login|members).*", "service.ranking:Integer=100" })  

We have some data stored on the AEM content fragments which gets cleared out upon clicking back button on the page or moving out of the page. The modified user shows the logged in User irrespective of whether or not user clicked Save button option.Why is the data not persisted in this case ? Is it a known issue or do we have a resolution? This is on AEM 6.5
