Noch 32 Arbeitstage

… dann geh ich erstmal 6 Monate in Urlaub.

6 Monate in denen ich mich …
… nur noch um den kleinen Julian und meine Frau kümmern werde.
… nicht mit CQ befassen werde.
… auf mich selber und meine Werte und Ideale besinnen kann.
… einfach auf das Leben konzentriere.

Nach 7 Jahren Vollgas muss ich einfach an Rolf Schmid denken: “I I I I I I I I mag eifach nüm”!!

CQ and 401/404

Posted on by

In the newest version of Day CQ WCM there is one big problem about the HTTP Response Status 401 and 404.

My problem: I wanted to make a CUG (Closed User Group).

So I set the permissions as I expected in CQ4:

pagestructuresurfer_rightscug_rights

On a call to this locked page I expected a 401 Not Authorized and a login page or login box. But what I got was a 404 Page Not Found. Hmmm strange!!

cug_404

This implementation is (on my opinion) really wrong. With this implementation it’s never possible to create a CUG accessed page.

But there is a workaround:

  • copy the file /libs/sling/servlet/errorhandler/404.jsp to /apps.
  • get the admin session
  • check (with the admin session) if the required page exists
  • if so –> send 401
  • else send 404
...
if(isClosedUserGroup(sling, resource)){
  response.setStatus(401);
  response.addHeader("WWW-Authenticate", "Basic realm=\"myrealm\"");
} else {
  response.setStatus(404);

%><!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>404 Not Found</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Not Found</h1>
<p>The requested URL <%=request.getRequestURI()%>
      was not found on this server.</p>
<hr>
<address>
<%=this.getServletConfig().getServletContext().getServerInfo()%>
</address>
</body></html><%
}
...

That’s it.
