AEM new site: Authentication failed, but I don't want any authentication?

Hi folks,

I've added a new site in the usual way, new vhost file in available_vhosts, soft link in enabled_hosts, new hostname added to publish farm /virtualhosts list.

Same as I usually do, but for some reason I don't see my new site, instead it does the  redirect below and displays "Authentication failed"

 

This url shows up in my browser bar

 

<new site url>/?resource=%2Fcontent%2Fxxx%2Fen%2Fhome.html&$$login$$=%24%24login%24%24&j_reason=unkn...

I don't see any evidence that anything reaches the publish server.

 

thanks

To answer my own question, there wasn't anything wrong with the dispatcher/sling mappings configuration.   The Author had clicked on Authentication Requirement on their home page but we don't have that set up
