Level 2

Hi,

I am referring to followingchecklist. http://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-0/administer/security/security-checklist.html 

Navigate to "Remove CRX development bundles" section. Adobe recommends to uninstall the following bundles from author & publish. What is the significance of below bundles? Are these are test bundles?

  • Adobe CRXDE Support (com.day.crx.crxde-support)
  • Adobe Granite CRX Explorer (com.adobe.granite.crx-explorer)
  • Adobe Granite CRXDE Lite (com.adobe.granite.crxde-lite)

@bsloki: Yes, ideally ... when the bundle is uninstalled, it's hard to have a quick look at the repository. So I rather leave it installed. My experience in troubleshooting tells, that this is the first place to go when we need to validate repo settings or check specific nodes or properties.

kind regards,
Jörg

Hi Jörg,

Thank you for the quick response. So even if those bundles are uninstalled we should able to see crxde lite, http://<host:port>/crx/explorer urls correct?

Nope, after uninstalling these bundles these URLs are not supposed to work anymore.

(If you still need them on your production environment, you might leave them installed, but then you needto lock down the access to them!)

kind regards,

Hari, if crx explorer bundle is uninstalled, you will not be able to access explore

Ideally, these are not needed on production systems and hence its mentioned in the security checklist

Yes. Crxde lite will be helpful to debug many issues. I will keep the bundle installed and will remove read access to authors on crxde lite (in libs folder).

Thats true @Jorg !! but we can keep the explorer if needed and crxde aswell but need to be careful on the content accessible on the crxde.
