After upgrade to SP 6.4.8.1 login/logout option is missing in CRX/DE

[Peter_Grape]

Hi all,

After our upgrade of envs from 6.4.6 to 6.4.8.1 we are missing the login/logout menu option.

Have anyone else has this issue?

We are able to login via system/console or any other normal auth process.

I suspect maybe something disappeared during removal of the software package button perhaps?

@Peter_Grape Never encountered such issue.

@kautuk_sahni  @VeenaVikraman @Jörg_Hoh  Can you guys provide your inputs ?

[Jörg_Hoh · Accepted solution]

As part of a recent Servicepack the login/logout functionality has been removed from CRX/DE Lite.

[Peter_Grape]

Well that was a gotcha, not mentioned in the release notes. but ok, so What is the thought around login to crx/de in a publish instance?

[Jörg_Hoh]

Actually I can't help you there, this decision is not mine, and I also don't like the removal of this functionality. Please raise a ticket with Adobe support and ask for the reasons of it. I agree with you that on publish this can be problematic.

@Peter_Grape,

Check this https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/adobe-experience-manager/aem-login-button-issue-in-....

The login and logout buttons have been removed on purpose from CRXDE for security reasons (internal ID: GRANITE-27790). Back ported to AEM 6.5.5.0 as part NPR-33521.

Thanks!!

See these threads they have mentioned the workaround

The work around that the CSE suggested was to navigate to:
https://:/libs/granite/core/content/login.html
login and then navigate to /crx/de

After 6.5 upgrade , I also saw the log in option not available in CRX/DE .
