Hey everyone!Sharing a couple of quick security hardening tips for AEM as a Cloud Service that I recently worked on:Blocking the form selector at dispatcher level Restricting anonymous access to sensitive JCR metadataBoth are small changes, but they significantly reduce attack surface and prevent unintended exposure.I’ve written a short Medium article with the details + configs here:👉 Hardening AEM as a Cloud Service: Two Simple Fixes That Close Big Security Gaps Would love to hear if others are doing something similar or have additional hardening tips!

Business Context:Organizations using Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) often need to synchronize content across environments (e.g., Author to Author, or between regions) during migrations, environment refreshes, or selective content promotions. Currently, this process relies heavily on manual effort, including identifying changed content, packaging it, and installing it sequentially.Current Challenge:To perform a delta content sync, teams must:Manually execute Query Builder searches to identify content paths that have changed within a specific date range. Compile lists of affected DAM and site content (e.g., /content/dam/toyota/vehicle1, /content/dam/toyota/lexus1). Use custom scripts or tools such as ACS Commons Vault RCP (VLT RCP) to transfer the content. Introduce manual throttling (e.g., sleep intervals between package installations) to avoid performance degradation. Coordinate and monitor the process, which increases operational overhead and risk of human error.This approach is time-

Hi All,AEM: 6.5.12I’m encountering this issue for the first time. I’m currently using the AEM OOTB Sitemap generator for testing purposes. However, when I try to use the scheduler approach, the job gets stuck and doesn't trigger. please refer below screenshot.  The logs don’t provide much information. I’ve attempted to create the scheduler through /system/console/ConfigMgr and even added a run mode, but it still doesn’t work. However, the "On Demand" approach works perfectly fine. I checked from status-slingsitemap and it appears as scheduled.I've done the the following actions:- re-index from oak:index -> slingSitemap- Adding  the config to be placed "/apps/system/conf/ (didn't work)- Adding runmode config (didn't work).- flushing classloader (didn't work).Is there a way to know if the scheduler got stuck somehow?. if so, do you know the path where I can check it?. Previosly, it was working fine but not sure what changed.

1. DescriptionWhen an AEM author uses the "Convert to Experience Fragment Variation" action from the page editor, the OOTB servlet ConvertToExperienceFragmentVariation (from bundle com.adobe.cq.cq-experience-fragments) hardcodes the sling:resourceType on the converted component node to:cq/experience-fragments/editor/components/experiencefragment This prevents us from using our custom brand-specific Experience Fragment component during and after conversion. There is currently no extension point, OSGi hook, or request parameter to override this value. . Steps to ReproduceOpen any AEM page in the page editor. Right-click a component (e.g. Hero component). Select "Convert to Experience Fragment Variation". Fill in the conversion dialog and click Submit. Observe the POST request sent to:            /libs/cq/experience-fragments/content/v2/conversion/converterOpen CRXDE Lite and inspect the converted component node. Observe that sling:resourceType is hardcoded to the OOTB value. Expected vs.

Edge Delivery Services has changed the game for Lighthouse scores, but the authoring experience is now the big conversation. I’m looking to gather some real-world perspectives on the best 'flavor' of authoring for AEM Edge Delivery Services (EDS).​i see we have three distinct paths and I'd love to hear from anyone who has moved between them:​Pure Document Authoring (Google Drive/SharePoint): The speed is unmatched, but how are you handling complex governance at scale?​DA.live (Document Authoring): Is this the 'Goldilocks' zone for asset integration, or does it add an unnecessary layer?​Universal Editor with AEM Sites: For those who need MSM and heavy localization, does the performance of EDS still feel 'magical' when coming from a full AEM Cloud Service backend?​Which combination have you found offers the best balance of author velocity and developer sanity? Looking forward to your insights!"

 Proper ETag Support Finally Arrives in the AEMaaCS Dispatcher by @daniel-strmecki IntroductionReducing unnecessary network traffic is a core goal of HTTP caching, and one of the most effective mechanisms for achieving this has been part of the protocol for decades. ETags allow different layers of the web stack to determine whether a resource has actually changed before transferring it again, making them a powerful tool for improving performance and cache efficiency.In modern architectures where browsers, CDNs, reverse proxies, and origin applications all participate in content delivery, ETags play an important role in enabling efficient validation of cached content. Instead of repeatedly sending the same payload across the network, each layer can simply verify whether the cached representation is still valid.Despite this being a fundamental HTTP capability, many AEM implementations have historically not been able to fully benefit from ETag validation across the entire delivery stack.

I want to get latest publish time of my aem page in publisher instance. I found out cq:lastReplicated is not available in aem cloud publisher also jcr:created is not being updated when i publish the page. And cq:lastModified only gets updated if i make some changes in page and then  publish, but i want the last publish time regardless of any changes done or not. So is there any way to get this in AEM cloud? I checked all the properties in developer console and nothing makes the match for cq:lastReplicated in author. Is there any configuration which i need to set up.
