Infinite Replication Loop

Replications including test replications never get triggered.  The browser hangs indefinitely.

Thread dumps show a thread stack:

AEM 6.2 or later

Assuming the stack trace is the same, then the root cause is likely due to a custom ACL package being installed.  The custom package would have deleted the out-of-the-box ACLs on the root repository node.

If you are on AEM6.2, then install the attached package OOTB-acls-1.0.zip to apply the ACLs.  Then install your custom ACLs again, but first rebuild the package using the AC Handling mode Merge.

If you are on a later version of AEM, then create a package from a fresh install.  The package should have the following rules:

• Filters:

/rep:policy
/home/rep:policy
/etc/rep:policy
/apps/rep:policy

• Advanced => AC Handling = Merge
