The Group console doesn't work in AEM Communities deployed on an application server

Issue

When deploying AEM to an application server with a different context path for publish instances versus author instances, then the Group management console fails to autoscroll.

 

Reproducible steps:

  1.  Set up Apache Tomcat 8.5.x

  2. Install an AEM 6.3.2.1 author instance and AEM publish instance via war file deploy under /aemauthor and /aempublish contexts (respectively).

  3. Set up the AEM Tunnel service with the proper context /aempublish configured (in the OSGi configuration): https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-1/administer/communities/users.html#Tunnel%20Service

    a. Go to /system/console/configMgr/com.adobe.cq.social.user.impl.transport.HttpToPublisher
    b. Set context path to /aempublish

  4. Go to /aemauthor/communites/groups.html/content and see that autoscrolling isn't working, it gives a 403 error.

The same problem occurs for /aemauthor/communites/users.html as well.

This problem only occurs when you have a context configured other than root /.

Environment

AEM 6.3 with Communities Package installed

Cause

This is caused by the identified product bug CQ-4246013, who has been backported into Service Pack 3.

This service pack will be available on September 12th 2018.

Resolution

Install AEM 6.3 Service Pack 3.
