403 forbidden for Anonymous user URL /system/console/configMgr

Hi,

As admin user, I am unable to access urls after changing the Apache Sling Auth Service -> Anonoymous Username to anonymous. This change was done from URL server:port/system/console/configMgr. After this change, I am unable to undo the change since

1. When trying to access URL server:port/system/console/configMgr the following error is displayed.

HTTP ERROR 403
Problem accessing /libs/granite/core/content/login.html. Reason: Forbidden

2. When trying to access URL server:port/crx/de the following error is displayed. 

HTTP ERROR 403 problem accessing /crx/de reason forbidden

3. When trying to access URL server:port/aem/start.html the following error is displayed. 

HTTP ERROR 403 Problem accessing /libs/granite/core/content/login.html. Reason: Forbidden

 

This issue occurs in AEM 6.5 and I can login to server:port/crx/explorer/index.jsp as admin. How can this be fixed?

 

Thanks in advance for the help.

Hello @aemuser001,

As you said you're able to login to /crx/explorer then you can login using admin and go to 'Content Explorer'. The config 'Apache Sling Authentication Service' you will find under /apps/system/config/org.apache.sling.engine.impl.auth.SlingAuthenticator.config. Delete this node and click on 'Save All' and you should be able to login as you would generally. Alternatively, you can also use CURL command to delete the config but this should also work and is a easy approach.
