AEM 6.5 | 301 Redirects in page properties

[jebarose_07]

Hi all,

I would like to do 301 redirects as below

https://domainname.com/test to https://domainname.com/test/ 

https://domainname.com/test1 to https://domainname.com 

https://domainname.com/test1/ to https://domainname.com 

Is it possible to implement this on the site page properties under the 'redirects tab' in AEM 6.5? Or what is the best method to implement this?

Thanks,

Rose

Hi @jebarose_07 ,

Please check this article for the similar purpose: https://medium.com/tech-learnings/adobe-experience-manager-aem-implementing-custom-redirect-vanity-u...

You could also consider Redirect Map Manager

Hope that helps!

Hi @jebarose_07 , Sling Redirects basically redirect internally, but it seems like you may need it in your Prod sites. For that, you need to rely on the dispatcher to rewrite rules and redirect pages. 

something similar to this.

RewriteRule ^/ /(.+)$ https://domainname.com/test1.html [L,R=301,NE]

Hope this helps,

@jebarose_07 Consider implementing such redirects on apache/dispatcher, to avoid unnecessary request processing on the publisher, until you want your business editors to control these redirects. In this case, go with Redirect Map Manager [1] approach.
