Accessing config console results in Infinite Loop of redirecting to login page

[ferzan_rizvi]

On AEM 6.1 SP2 - Java 1.8

Created new users and added them to the administrators group.  These users are able to be access everything /crx/packmgr, /siteadmin, /useradmin, etc except anything under /system.  Everything works using the admin user including the /system pages.

On author node, whether you have authenticated at crx/de first or not, trying to access the system/console/bundles page redirects you to login again.  Upon entering credentials, the page keeps redirecting to itself in a loop and generates an auth token (checked in /system/console/tokenmgr) but never logs in.

On publish node, logging in crx/de then accessing system/console/bundles throw an

Problem accessing /system/console/bundles. Reason: org.apache.sling.api.auth.NoAuthenticationHandlerException

I've tried creating a new group, adding all perms, and adding a test user.. no luck.  The logs don't show any errors related to auth just 302 redirects.  The only user that will work is the admin user.

Hi,

Please login to /system/console using admin user. 

Then navigate to /configMgr - search for this configuration "Apache Sling Web Console Security Provider".

Add the users you want to give permission to /system/console. This is an additional level of security. 

Thanks,

Vamsi
