Hi,We have the need to store a large number of users in an external system, and restrict areas of our CQ powered site to those users. It looks like the Closed User Group feature is a good fit for this. It also looks like we can create a custom Login Module to authenticate users against the external system.I'm not clear though how the users would be tied against the closed user group mechanism. It seems that when you define a CUG the ACLs for the tree are updated to restrict access to the group, which is reasonable enough. However, am I right in thinking for the ACL permissions to work the users and groups would need to by synced to the JCR from the external system, similar to how the LDAP LoginModule does ? Or in other words, is it possible to keep all user and group membership details isolated in the external system while using the CUG facility ?Thanks. 

Hi,I am trying to create custom multifield component which also includes smartfile component.  The smartfile component however does not show the drag and drop panel. It just shows a rectangular dotted box without the drag and drop icon. My javascript code is attached.  Please let me know what is wrong in the smartfile - why does it not show the drag and drop panel for me to drop images.I am not able to proceed in my project due to this hurdle.  Any suggestions is most appreciated.Thanks,Sumathi

 I would like to continue adding client library files to JSPs as follows:  <cq:includeClientLib js="some-category" />But I need to have control over the attributes in the resulting script include. In other words I might want to see<script type="application/javascript" async defer data-attr="somedata" src="<path to clientlib.min.js></script>I have not seen any document that explains how to achieve this. I was hoping for something similar to adding classes for cq:htmlTag. Clearly I could do this manually by adding the script tag myself, and manually adding the path to the clientlib, but then I lose the ability to reference by category, which is my major use case for using clientlibs.Thanks,Matt

Hi,We have a requirement where we need to provide authentication in the publish sites. Users are allowed to access the pages only when they are authenticated by entering the credentials. These credentials are stored in LDAP.Our understanding is we have log in components which are available already in geometrixx sites but these log in components validate the user credentials present in AEM publish instance.  We need to leverage these login components along with the LDAP configuration in publish instance. Does this requires any custom development? Can we provide the log in functionality in Publish directly just by configuring LDAP? What are the steps for configuring LDAP in Publish instance? I tried the steps which we used in author instance but it is showing blank page.Thanks,Maruthi

Hi all.I need to have different products exposed in a format like the following:/products/<code>.htmlProducts are stored on repository with this format:/products/<code_letter1>/<code_letter2>/<code_letter3>/<code>We don't want to have the 3 extra paths in the final URL.So first idea would be to define a vanity URL for every product. Having up to 10.000 products I mind if this can be a performance issue.Then... is there a smarter approach, for example some sling mapping rule that can convert an incoming URL  in the format  /products/code.html  in --->   products/c/o/d/code?Clearaly also generated URLs should be rewritten with the same rule, but this can be handled at application layer if necessary,We are using CQ 5.6.1Any help will be appreciated.thanksIgnazio

Hi All,Is there any way in CQ to get the Disk Space Utilization  for a particular path?.Say for example we want to know how much will be the size of this path /content/dam/test1/subpath. Thanks,

Hi,I've been experimenting with AEM 6.1 personalization feature. I have created campaign-activity-experience and also segmentations.I managed to author targeted content through targeting mode. It seems working on targeting mode, when I switch the activities, it'll show the targeted content for respective experience/audience.However when I preview it on preview mode and use the user profiles from client context. the content doesn't change even though I change the profile match with the segmentation.I can display those content by changing 'active campaign' and 'active experience' on client context though. But I don't think this is the correct way to preview the personalization. Could you please let me know how to get it work on preview mode ? I tried to use the geometrixx sample site and it is also not working there. Thanks.

Hi,What's the recommended way to implement pages that are shared deployment-wide? For example when we want to implement a page called "Under review" that based on some rules should be served to users in place of the actual pages of a website.We have a few JSP under /content/global-pages that we want to be accessible with .html extension. For example, there's a file /content/global-pages/under-review.jsp that should be accessible as www.foo.com/under-review.html. What's the recommended way to configure CQ 5 to perform this?Thanks.

Hey guysThe title sums it up pretty well. I'm extending GridPanel and in that custom GridPanel I want to do the following:I want to retrieve the CRX path of the current (custom) multi field item, for example like this: findParentByType("CQ.Dialog").pathTransfer that path as parameter to my servlet: /myservlet?path=currentCrxPathTake the JSON response from the servlet, load into a JsonStore and display it in the GridPanelUntil now i have the following code:/** * custom grid view * @type {CQ.Ext.grid.GridPanel} */ Namics.form.ExternalFormReferences = CQ.Ext.extend(CQ.Ext.grid.GridPanel, { store: new CQ.Ext.data.JsonStore({ data: { references: [ {path: '/path/to/entry1', title: 'Entry 1'}, {path: '/path/to/entry2', title: 'Entry 2'} ] }, root: 'references', fields: ['path', 'title'] }), columns: [ { header: 'Path', width: .5, dataIndex: 'path' }, { header: 'Title', width: .35, dataIndex: 'title' } ], viewConfig: { forceFit: true }, sm: new CQ.Ext.grid.RowSelectionModel({singleSelect:true}

Hello, I read in AEM documentation, ", if you store a 300KB JPG image in your repository somewhere, the JPG contents, being above the threshold size (4096 bytes, by default), will be stored in the datastore, and it will be placed into file with just the contents of that one JPG image, with no encoding or obfuscation. If you were to find the individual file, it will be the JPG image."1. If the contents of the jpg file is stored in the data store, how exactly is the image component picking up the binary data of that image/asset while rendering?I notice, that by default the image component looks for the binary data in the jcr:data of the original file.2. If the contents are stored in the data store then what does aem store in the  jcr:data of the original file.?Please let me knowRegards,NZ

Hi Experts,I am just trying to setup a CQ5 with one author and two publishers. Publishers are with "Shared Nothing Cluster" configuration (1 Master/1Slave).I would like to confirm if i can configure only replication agent for Master publisher or i need to add the replication agent for Slave publisher also?. My understanding is that if i configure replication agent only for one publish server, The changes will be Synced to other Slave publish server Thanks,Ifteqar

Hi All, we are customizing special character by misctoolplugin.js. There is an issue regarding this. Whenever we are saving an special charter then in source edit its not getting saved as HTML code, rather as the special character. like @ is saving as @ not its HTML code. the behavior is normal only, means OOB also behaves in the same way. But we have requirement to store it as HTML code only. Whenever we click on the button for special character- at the end     execCommand("insertHTML", false, specialCharater);   method is called that means we call Command insertHTML and that command is only doing this. note: value of specialCharacter is HTML code only of that particular selected special character. So please tell if there is any other method/command we can use instead of insertHTML or anything else that will help us in achieving this. Please help. Thanks

I am currently working on implementing an asset manager using Adobe AEM 5.6.1 DAM and want to use the Asset Share and Asset Editor templates on publisher. Our client however needs these pages to be secure and restrict access to users who authenticate through a SAML-based SSO product. The SAM authentication handler configuration on Author instances is pretty straight forward but when attempting to do the same on publisher it does not work. The default behavior when using Asset Share page on publisher is that it redirects to the geometrix login (not AEM) page. I understand that this can be changed to a different page but I need it to redirect to the IdP login screen. When I configue the SAML authentication handler on publisher with the same exact parameters that work on author I not only am not redirected to the IdP to enter credentials, but I am not prompted for any authentication at all.Is there a setting or something that I am missing somewhere on a publisher instances to enable the S

We have a layout that we want to use in a few different places as well as for Sling error handler pages.Outside Sling error handler, we are using a cq:Pages together with a page component to reuse the template.Is there a way to configure the Sling error handler to use cq:Pages in a similar way, rather than serving JSP pages?

Has anybody figure out how to use the Luhn's Algorithm for the Form Component? If you add a form element, like TextField, you can select a validation as part of the Constraint tab. In that tab, there is an option for Luhn's algorithm to validate credit cards and some government IDs. However, whenever the drop down field for the constraint is selected, nothing else happens.I looked at the documentation but there is no reference to this feature.Any comment/suggestion is welcomed.Mario

Hi,  Our client has requirement where Scene 7 Images need to be dragged and dropped from content finder to any custom component  without importing that in DAM. I am able to drag and drop Scene 7 images from Scene 7 content finder to Scene 7 components like Zoom etc, but not for any other custom component or OOB image component. Is there any way to do this in CQ out-of-the-box or am I missing something very trivial?Quick response would be appreciatedThanks,Abhijit
