AEM OOTB Page Redirect not working as expected when selectors are present

[krishna_sai]

Hi Team,

If there is any redirect given to a page using page properties, it is working fine as expected.
For the same page, if there are any selectors, the redirect is not working as expected.

Steps to reproduce the issue.

• Go to we-retail page,http://localhost:4504/editor.html/content/we-retail/language-masters/en/men.html and in advance tab of page properties for redirect property update with another page i.e., /content/we-retail/language-masters/en/women
• Now view the page as published, we can see the page is being redirected to women page as expected http://localhost:4504/content/we-retail/language-masters/en/men.html?wcmmode=disabled 
• Now add some selector to the men page and see the redirection is not working http://localhost:4504/content/we-retail/language-masters/en/men.selector.html?wcmmode=disabled 
  
  

In our scenario, for pages selectors get appended in the URL after login and redirects are failing due to this issue.
Can someone provide any solution/thoughts here, if you have already come across such scenarios.

Hi @krishna_sai 
What is the use of selector here? If you are not using this selector, then you can add a redirect rule at dispatcher to redirect instead of using AEM OOTB redirects.

Hi @arunpatidar 

After login into our website, a selector is being added to the pages based on user type and we need selector because we are having some kind of personalisation doing based on it.

Now when the user tries to navigate to any page that has page redirects to it, it is not redirecting properly bcz of user selectors present in the url

Thanks

I think in that case, you have to manage those redirects as HTTPD redirects.

e.g. https://github.com/arunpatidar02/aemaacs-aemlab/blob/f96ce5316dfa4798c72d2e87d3a0b41fc49791a4/dispat...
