A. Run the curl command below
Issue
When upgrading to AEM 6.2 from previous AEM version, the admin user can sign in to CRXDE, but the screen is blank. The user is unable to view the node structure.
Environment
AEM 6.2
Cause
This is because of the nosamplecontent runmode which applies the production ready configuration. This runmode disables CRXDE functionality for increased security.
Resolution
To reenable CRXDE, follow one of the two options below.
There are some ACS Commons tools that could help in exporting users from AEM in order to perform a diff:
-
curl -u admin:admin -F "jcr:primaryType=sling:OsgiConfig" -F "alias=/crx/server" -F "dav.create-absolute-uri=true" -F "dav.create-absolute-uri@TypeHint=Boolean" http://aemhost:port/apps/system/config/org.apache.sling.jcr.davex.impl.servlets.SlingDavExServlet
-
B. Or, do the following:
-
Go to http://host:port/system/console/configMgr/org.apache.sling.jcr.davex.impl.servlets.SlingDavExServlet
-
Set the value of Root Path to /crx/server
-
Click Save
-
Additional information
In rare cases, the configuration will take effect, but when browsing to /crx/de/index.jsp, you only see the "/" root node. If that happens, then go to http://host:port/system/console/bundles/org.apache.sling.jcr.davex and stop and start the bundle.
