Asset Link Share from AEM - Security and Configuration Questions

Is it standard practice to allow public access to the AEM Author (/linkshare.html, /linksharepreview.html, /linkexpired.html) for asset link sharing? I assume we would also need to open up paths like /etc.clientlibs and potentially others?

Once I've shared an asset, is there any way for me to recover the share URL or change the expiration? I can see "Shared Links" in the DAM navigation, but clicking one only allows me to "Unshare" - I don't see an option to view/edit.

Is there any way to configure asset link share to omit renditions in the download?

Hi Brett.Birschbach - I am having the same problem with asset link sharing outside of the company firewall(s). I definitely don't want jeopardize the security of the author instance by opening it to the Internet. to I am exploring an options to publish assets to one of the "publish" instance(s) living in the DMZ, and have an internal user role that can generate the assets share link from that same instance. of course replicating of that link to other publish instances will not work, which makes the solution not scalable at this point.

Hope to hear more ideas from the community.

My client also is looking to share only certain renditions, but there is no such an option as you noted. We will be developing custom solution for this, but it would have been nice if Adobe includes it in the OOTB solution.

Hey Brett.Birschbach - As a client, this is also extremely frustrating since this was definitely marketed to us as a great feature by Adobe, but the practical reality is we're having to revert to downloading assets from AEM, saving them to Dropbox, and then sending a Dropbox link to external vendors since getting 12 renditions x 10 shared assets means that our partners have to sort through 120 images to get the 10 correct ones. Completely unacceptable, and shocking that Adobe's response seems to be "Eh. Customize it."

Hi KBWEB,

My client also is looking to share only certain renditions, but there is no such an option as you noted. We will be developing custom solution for this, but it would have been nice if Adobe includes it in the OOTB solution.

Were you able to fix this?? Could you point me to the location where the code needs to be updated for this feature
