How can we remove/modify the Namespaces from the CRX explorer - aem

How can we remove/modify the Namespaces from the CRX explorer(//host:port/crx/explorer/nodetypes/index.jsp)
Also observed that upon manual deletion of the entries which are registered at path "crx-quickstart\repository\repository\namespaces" ns_reg.properties, ns_idx.properties files are not affecting the changes immediately. I need to restart the CQ to take the effect of deleted namespaces.

Solution can be found here: https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/adobe-experience-manager/how-can-i-delete-a-namespace-created-in-crx/td-p/225163
From the page:
Follow the below steps :
1) Login to here : <ip>:<port>/crx/explorer/browser/index.jsp (Content Explorer)
2) Go to this path : /jcr:system/rep:namespaces
3) Search for the namespaces you want to delete in the properties – and then delete.
4) Save All.
Check in Namespaces - and the NS deleted should not be there. No restart required.

MDT: Remove obsolete files from WinPE ("Extra Directory to Add")

I have added some files, including test files that are no longer needed, under "Extra Directory to Add" (in my case under MDT Deployment Share ... / Advanced Configuration / Media / MEDIA001 / WinPE / General...).
How can I remove these test files afterwards? At the moment I have the problem that I can add files but not remove them. Once they are included, they remain permanently in WinPE.
I have already updated the deployment share and created a new media (ISO) - without any "extra directories". All this did not work.
However, I did notice the following error message when creating a new media ("Update Media Content"): "Unable to remove extra folder content. Specify 'force' to recreate the boot image."
What does this message mean and how can I solve my problem?
Thanks a lot.

How to read multiple config file from Spring Cloud Config Server

Spring cloud config server supports reading property files with name ${spring.application.name}.properties. However I have 2 properties files in my application.
a.properties
b.properties
Can I get the config server to read both these properties files?
Rename your properties files in git or file system where your config server is looking at.
a.properties -> <your_application_name>.properties
a.properties -> <your_application_name>-<profile-name>.properties
For example, if your application name is test and you are running your application on dev profile, below two properties will be used together.
test.properties
test-dev.properties
Also you can specify additional profiles in bootstrap.properties of your config client to retrieve more properties files like below. For example,
spring:
profiles: dev
cloud:
config:
uri: http://yourconfigserver.com:8888
profile: dev,dev-db,dev-mq
If you specify like above, below all files will be used together.
test.properties
test-dev.properties
test-dev-db.prpoerties
test-dev-mq.properties
Note that the provided answer assumes your property files address different execution profiles. If they dont, i.e., your properties are split into different files for some other reason, e.g., maintenance purposes, divided by business/functional domain, or any other reason that suits your needs, then, by defining a profile for each such file, you are just "abusing" the profile feature, for achieving your goal (multiple property files per app).
You could then ask "OK, so what is the problem with that?". The problem is that you restrain yourself from various possibilities that you would otherwise have. If you actually want to customize your application configuration by profile you will have to create pseudo, sub, profiles for that since the file name is already a profile. Example:
Your application configuration could be customized by different profiles, which you use inside your springboot application (e.g. in #Profile() annotation), let them be dev, uat, prod. You can boot your application setting different profiles as active, e.g. 'dev' vs 'uat', and get the group of properties that you desire. For your a.properties b.properties and c.properties file, if different file names were supported, you would have a-dev.properties b-dev.properties and c-dev.properties files vs a-uat.properties b-uat.properties and c-uat.properties files for 'dev' and 'uat' profile.
Nevertheless, with the provided solution, you already have defined 3 profiles for each file: appname-a.properties appname-b.properties, and appname-c.properties: a, b, and c. Now imagine you have to create a different profile for each... profile(! it already shows something goes wrong here)! you would end up with a lot of profile permutations (which would get worse as files increase): The files would be appname-a-dev.properties, appname-b-dev.properties, app-c-dev.properties vs appname-a-uat.properties, appname-b-uat.properties, app-c-uat.properties, but the profiles would have been increased from ['dev', ' uat'] to ['a-dev', 'b-dev', 'c-dev', 'a-uat', 'b-uat', 'c-uat'] !!!
Even worse, how are you going to cope with all these profiles inside your code and more specifically your #Profile() annotations? Will you clutter the code space with "artificial" profiles just because you want to add one or two more different property files? It should have been sufficient to define your dev or uat profiles, where applicable, and define somewhere else the applicable property file names (which could then be further supported by profile, without any other configuration action), just as it happens in the externalized properties configuration for individual springboot apps
For argument completeness, I will just add here that if you want to switch to .yml property files one day, with the provided profile-based naming solution, you also loose the ability to define different "yaml document sections per profile" inside the same .yml file (Yes, in .yml you can have one property file yet define multiple logical yml documents inside, which its usually done for customizing the properties for different profiles, while having all related properties in one place). You loose the ability because you have already used the profile in the file name (appname-profile.yml)
I have issued a pull request with a minor fix for spring-cloud-config-server 1.4.x, which allows defining additionally supported file names (appart from "application[-profile]" and "{appname}[-profile]", that are currently supported) by providing a spring.cloud.congif.server.searchNames environment property - analogous to spring.config.name for springboot apps. I hope it gets reviewed and accepted.
I came across the same requirement lately with a little more constraint that I am not allowed to play around the environment profiles. So I wasn't allowed to do as the accepted answer. I'm sharing how I did it as an alternative to those who might have same case as me.
In my application, I have properties such as:
appxyz-data-soures.properties
appxyz-data-soures-staging.properties
appxyz-data-soures-production.properties
appxyz-interfaces.properties
appxyz-interfaces-staging.properties
appxyz-interfaces-production.properties
appxyz-feature.properties
appxyz-feature-staging.properties
appxyz-feature-production.properties
application.properties // for my use, contains local properties only
bootstrap.properties // for my use, contains management properties only
In my application, I have these particular properties set that allow me to achieve what I needed. But note I have the rest of needed config as well (enable cloud config, actuator refresh, eureka service discovery and so on) - just highlighting these for emphasis:
spring.application.name=appxyz
spring.cloud.config.name=appxyz-data-soures,appxyz-interfaces,appxyz-feature
You can observe that I didn't want to play around my application name but instead I used it as prefix for my config property files.
In my configuration server I configured in application.yml to capture pattern: 'appxyz-*':
spring:
cloud:
config:
server:
git:
uri: <git repo default>
repos:
appxyz:
pattern: 'appxyz-*'
uri: <another git repo if you have 1 repo per app>
private-key: ${git.appxyz.pk}
strict-host-key-checking: false
ignore-local-ssh-settings: true
private-key: ${git.default.pk}
In my Git repository I have the following. No application.properties and bootstrap because I didn't want those to be published and overridden/refreshed externally but you can do if you want.
appxyz-data-soures.properties
appxyz-data-soures-staging.properties
appxyz-data-soures-production.properties
appxyz-interfaces.properties
appxyz-interfaces-staging.properties
appxyz-interfaces-production.properties
appxyz-feature.properties
appxyz-feature-staging.properties
appxyz-feature-production.properties
It will be the pattern matching pattern: 'appxyz-*' that will capture and return the matching files from my git repository. The profile will also apply and fetch the correct property file accordingly. The prioritization of value is also preserved.
Furthermore, if you wish to add more file in your application (say appxyz-circuit-breaker.properties), we only need to do:
Add the name pattern in the spring.cloud.config.name=...,appxyz-circuit-breaker
The add the copies of the file locally and also externally (in the git repo.
No need to add/modify more or restart your configuration server later on. For new application, it's like a one time registration thing to add an entry under the repos of application.yml.
Hope it helps in one way or another!
In your application bootstrap.properties, you have to specify like below:
spring.application.name=a,b

Configuring Static replication agent in AEM6.1 author

I'm trying to create file system of my website in my local machine and I have configured static replication agent in author following this http://www.wemblog.com/2012/02/how-to-use-static-agent-in-cq-wem.html document.
When I click activate on a page nothing is getting created in the target folder. In logs, it is showing NOTHING TO REPLICATE for all the pages.
I tried the same agent with geometrixx site and the content is created for it.
Help me with the solution. Thanks in advance
Have you set the rules for your content branch ? Static agent configuration allows you to define the rules on the 2nd tab (Rules).
By default only sample Geometrixx websites are configured
/content/geo* ${path}.html?wcmmode=preview
/content/dam* ${path}
/content/geo* /content/geometrixx/en.topnav.html
/etc/designs/* ${path}
Make sure to add /etc/designs/* ${path}

'User is missing the Overall/Read permission' error with Jenkins GitHub OAuth Plugin

I'm using the github oauth plugin for our logins but for all of our users in the Organisation I get an error:
Access Denied
<user> is missing the Overall/Read permission
I have tried everything I can possibly think of to try to make this work and I'm probably going to fallback to making everyone an admin user, which i would prefer not to do.
Any advise would be appreciated.
This is how I resolved the authentication problem:
Edit config.xml file, e.g.
sudo vi /var/lib/jenkins/config.xml
Change useSecurity element's value to false, e.g.
<useSecurity>false</useSecurity>
Remove authorizationStrategy block
Restart Jenkins: /etc/init.d/jenkins restart.
Access Jenkins through URL as usual and reconfigure security again.
I had the same problem with "... is missing the Overall/Read permission" on Jenkins (1.651.2) with activated Credentials Plugin.
But it was my own failure: I only configured the user on project side (by credential plugin) but missed to configure the global security.
So I fixed it by selecting:
Jenkins -> Manage Jenkins -> Configure Global Security
And did setup missing global settings (or project matrix based one)
Have you followed this step, from the plugin page?
Control user authorization (i.e. who is allowed to see the jobs and build them) using the Github Commiter Authorization Strategy
Also, make sure you actually allow authenticated users to access Jenkins
Under Jenkins global configuration, under Authorization, add user/group called authenticated
Give that group Overall Read permission
The group should show up with a "group" icon (two users), as opposed to single user icon.
reset from <useSecurity>true</useSecurity> to <useSecurity>false</useSecurity> in config.xml and set the permission again.
Edit file /var/lib/jenkins/config.xml and add the following lines :
<authorizationStrategy class="hudson.security.ProjectMatrixAuthorizationStrategy">
<permission>hudson.model.Hudson.Read:john.smith</permission>
</authorizationStrategy>
Restart Jenkins
What I did when I got this error is to edit config.xml as mentionned by other users and correctly re-add my username in LOWERCASE in "configureSecurity" Jenkins' page. I was using "KrustyHack" when adding permissions but it didn't work. I had to add "krustyhack" instead, and it worked.
I hope it helps.
I had the same problem here, but it affected only some users, not all of them. Anyway, you should check public organization membership : documentation of the plugin states that "You have to be a public member of the organization for the authorization to work correctly." (https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Github+OAuth+Plugin).
Follow instructions from GitHub (https://help.github.com/articles/publicizing-or-hiding-organization-membership/) in order to make organization membership public, and this might fix your issue.
Also check the case user names in the authorizationStrategy element. I made my new user's name lower case and restarted the service and it the error went away.
Fix it by these 2 shell commands on the server (sudo permission is required):
sudo ex +g/useSecurity/d +g/authorizationStrategy/d -scwq /var/lib/jenkins/config.xml
sudo /etc/init.d/jenkins restart
This will remove useSecurity and authorizationStrategy lines from your config file.

We hit this same error when a github organization administrator changed the organization's settings for "Third-party access" to "restrict third-party application access". Reverting to the previous settings within the github organization resolved the problem.
See github oauth-app-access-restrictions for details on how to configure that properly.
The assignment of roles to users is stored in config.xml file. Add the ID of the user directly to the role and then restart Jenkins.
In my case, I have a role named editor and a bunch of users assigned to the role.
<role name="editor" pattern=".*">
<permissions>
<...>
<permission>hudson.model.Item.Create</permission>
<permission>hudson.model.Item.Workspace</permission>
<permission>...</permission>
</permissions>
<assignedSIDs>
<sid>bob</sid>
<sid>alice</sid>
<sid>**newuser**</sid>
</assignedSIDs>
</role>
The matrix security is not terribly clear. I am a member of a specific group in our org that has admin privileges however I am also an authenticated user. I would think that the one group super-cedes the other however I have to have both in order to actually log into the system and be admin. It's screwed up IMO.
go to your-jenkins-host:port/role-strategy/assign-roles and configure roles for the user
I had the same problem before,
your OAuth application need your organization owner's approve,
then the OAuth Plugin can access the private data in it
I am using Crowd 2 plugin and I have the same problem.
I fixed it by downgrading OWASP Markup Formatter Plugin from varsion 1.2 to version 1.1 and then changing Markup Formatter in Configure Global Security value to Raw HTML, before it was Plain text.
I had exactly the same problem and adding the plugin Role Strategy Plugin fixed the problem.
All I had to do was install the plugin, create two groups - admin / developer and then add users to the groups.
A much much better solution than recreating the whole permissions matrix :)
I had a similar problem I was not able access Jenkin account and the system was locked.
I had only an error message. "Access Denied "
When I tried to reinstall Jenkins then it prompted to Repair option.
By clicking Repair option it fixed the problem.
Go to $JENKINS_HOME (linux, jenkins in windows), and find config.xml file.
Open this file in the editor. (take backup of .jenkins home)
Look for the <useSecurity>true</useSecurity> element in this file.
Replace "true" with "false"
Remove the elements authorizationStrategy and securityRealm
Start Jenkins
I found it in
C:\ProgramData\Jenkins\.jenkins
Jenkins Version: 2.319.2
Instead of removing all security (the top answer), Add admin access as root, to the user you want to give admin to. We had the same issue where all admins were no longer with the company. This is how I resolved the authentication problem: I logged into:
jenkins#<jenkins server>:/var/lib/jenkins/
Edit config.xml file, and add a config for
<permission>hudson.model.Hudson.Administer:<username></permission>
Then restart Jenkins:
root#<jenkins server>:/$ /etc/init.d/jenkins restart
Just use Jenkins > Configure Global Security bottom page matrix to provide permissions to the user (start w/ read)
I edited the /var/lib/jenkins/config.xml file and replaced the
<authorizationStrategy>...</authorizationStrategy>
with
<authorizationStrategy class="hudson.security.FullControlOnceLoggedInAuthorizationStrategy">
<denyAnonymousReadAccess>true</denyAnonymousReadAccess>
</authorizationStrategy>
It is the default settings after installation. Then restart the jenkins service.

Deletion of multiple(more than one node) nodes at a time from the CRXDE lite or CRX Explorer

How can we delete multiple(more than one node) nodes at a time from the CRXDE lite or CRX Explorer
http://host:port/crx/de/index.jsp
or from
http://host:port/crx/explorer/browser/index.jsp
Path:: /content/path to my web page parsys/
Where as the keyboard Ctrl or Shift keys are not allowing for selection & deletion of multiple nodes at a time.
I tried but it seems that there is no way to delete multiple nodes at a time using CRXDE Lite or CRX Explorer!
However, if the nodes, which you want to delete, are type of page or asset, you can delete multiple at the same time using http://localhost:4502/siteadmin#/content or http://localhost:4502/damadmin#/content/dam correspondingly!
try to login using Webdav and then then you can delete multiple nodes at one time. To access CRX repository using Webdav, you need to use Webdav client. For example you can download "AnyClient" for free.
I'm not sure if CRXDE Lite allows to select multiple nodes using CRTL or SHIFT keys.
But if you already know the paths of the nodes or pages you want to delete. I prefer using the following curl command instead of using CRXDE Lite -
curl -X DELETE http://host:port/content-path/jcr:content/nodeName -u admin:admin
Hope this helps you.
