Hi, Deprecated Library DetectedThe following library is deprecated, but used in your code and so must be removed:Library: ch.qos.logback Deprecated Since: 2022-01-27 Scheduled Removal Date: 2026-02-26Recommended Action:Replace deprecated packages with their recommended newer versions, in order to keep your application secure and performant.  logback library is not used in our codebase. But, I think it is linked and slf4j for logger in our codebase. Please help me in how to scan locally to check if the library is getting used and remove it. Thanks.

We are on AEM in the cloud and have a requirement to send a simple contact form that the user fills out to a backend email address. E.g. no emails being sent to users, no attachments, no data storage, just take the simple form POST request and send an email.AEM has two frameworks out of the box, the older “Foundation Forms” Components and the new “Core Adaptive Forms”.I understand the Foundations Forms are kind of deprecated and Adaptive ones are encouraged, and I understand the new framework has more features, etc.but we already have implemented our custom designs (corporate styleguide) - but for Foundation Form elements only! (buttons etc.)My main question is: can I still use Foundation Forms to send an email (e.g. by building a servlet or in another way), or is it not possible at all in the cloud?If still possible but highly discouraged - what’s the Adobe roadmap for supporting such an approach?Also: is there a way to send the email using an Edge service (e.g. not hitting AEM Publis

When I try to connect to  Experience form Admin Console I have an error message:It seems that your Adobe ID is not linked with your Adobe Experience Cloud solution accountsPlease get in touch with your Org Administrator or Adobe Enterprise Support.It is the first time I want to use this product.How to solve this problem?

Hi Everyone, I have an odd problem with the OOTB Breadcrumb component in our Production Environment.To give an overview we have a page template that has Breadcrumb start level configured at 4.Our site structure is /content/siteA/us/en/home/child1/actualPage On author at the “actualPage” URL the breadcrumb is rendering correctly as “home”→ “child1” → “actualPage”However on Production Domain URL the breadcrumb is rendering as “us” → “home” → “child1” → “actualPage” The “us” url redirects to “en” and “en” further redirects to “home”, so the “us” breadcrumb links goes to the homepage. Also, the hide in navigation flag is set for all parent pages at “SiteA”, “us” and “en”.This issue occurs only on our Production environment and not in Stage or DEV even after a content sync. Any pointers for this would be helpful! Thanks, Nagesh 

Hello AEM Community,We have an AEM 6.5.21 setup (Author, Publish, Dispatcher) running in our digital platform to serve content. Today we’re using the default AEM user/group administration to provide access for developers and support teams. To improve security and streamline access management, we want to integrate Azure AD SSO and map Azure AD groups to AEM permissions.We’re evaluating SAML 2.0 vs OIDC for best compatibility with AEM 6.5.21, and we’re looking for guidance from anyone who has implemented this in a similar architecture.What we’ve explored so farMany available guides seem outdated. Our current draft approach is SAML: configure the TrustStore (certs) and set up the Adobe Granite SAML 2.0 Authentication Handler.What we’re looking forRecommended approach for AEM 6.5.21: SAML vs OIDC (pros/cons, supportability, common patterns).

After upgrading to the latest LTS version of AEM, we have encountered an issue with the Rich Text field using the resource type cq/gui/components/authoring/dialog/richtext. When saving any sentence containing two consecutive curly braces {{, the data is not being stored correctly in CRX. Specifically, the double curly braces are being replaced with {<!-- -->{, which causes problems when the final HTML is generated.Steps to Reproduce:Open a dialog with a Rich Text field (cq/gui/components/authoring/dialog/richtext).Enter the following content:<p>{{someData['someData']}}</p>Save the dialog.Check the value stored in CRX.Expected Result: The data should be saved as entered:<p>{{ContentBlock['chaseContactUsFooter']}}</p>Actual Result: The data is saved as:<p>{<!-- -->{someData['someData']}}</p>This unexpected replacement of {{ with {<!-- -->{ is causing issues in the rendered HTML and breaking our templating logic.This issue occu

Geo-based redirects are a common technique used to route users to regional content (for example, redirecting / to /us/ or /ca/).In Adobe Experience Manager as a Cloud Service (AEMaaCS), these redirects are often implemented at the CDN layer, before requests reach Dispatcher or Publish.While technically effective, this approach can introduce unintended SEO side effects if not carefully designed.Why this mattersSearch engine crawlers do not behave like end users: Crawling locations are limited and inconsistent Geo signals may not reflect real user geography CDN-level redirects can be applied uniformly to both bots and users When geo-based redirects are enforced unconditionally at the edge, crawlers may: Index an incorrect locale Fail to discover alternative regions Encounter redirect chains that reduce crawl efficiency These issues often appear without visible errors in AEM logs or monitoring tools.AEMaaCS-specific considerationsIn AEMaaCS, the mandatory CDN layer plays a critica

Adobe Experience Manager as a Cloud Service (AEMaaCS) introduced a stricter and more explicit approach to configuration management. Configuration is no longer a runtime concern but a core part of application architecture, deployment, and governance.This overview summarizes the primary configuration models available in AEMaaCS and their intended use cases. For a deeper explanation, architectural guidance, and practical examples, see:https://medium.com/@konstantyn.diachenko/making-sense-of-configuration-in-aem-as-a-cloud-service-7f2fc567e58dOSGi ConfigurationOSGi configurations define technical and behavioral aspects of code execution, such as: Service wiring Feature flags External integrations System thresholds and limits In AEMaaCS, OSGi configurations are: Immutable at runtime Deployed through CI/CD Parameterized using environment variables where needed Use OSGi configuration when values are developer-owned and affect application behavior.Context-aware configurationContext-A

As part of our 6.5 LTS upgrade, we are looking to do some clean-up and re-locate images under /etc/designs/defaultThis indicates they should go under /apps/settings/wcm/designs/default (https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-65/content/implementing/deploying/restructuring/all-repository-restructuring-in-aem-6-5#default-designs)However, this indicates they should go under /apps/XXX/clientlibs/clientlib-site/resources/images (https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-65-lts/content/implementing/developing/introduction/clientlibs#locating-a-client-library-folder-and-using-the-proxy-client-libraries-servlet)What is the correct location?  I should note, we have 5 sites on our system, each with their own /apps directory (/apps/site1, /apps/site2, etc).  The images I am looking to re-locate are used on all 5 sites so not sure where I should put them.

 Index Traversal in AEM: A Common Source of Performance Issues by @daniel-strmecki IntroductionIndex traversal is one of the most common and most misunderstood causes of performance issues in Adobe Experience Manager (AEM). It rarely appears during local development or early project phases, but tends to surface once a system goes live, content volumes grow, and real user traffic starts hitting authoring and delivery workflows. What makes index traversal particularly dangerous is how easy it is to introduce. A single custom JCR query, a reporting feature, or an authoring UI enhancement can quietly trigger queries that scan tens or even hundreds of thousands of nodes. At first, the impact may be barely noticeable. However, over time, content grows, and queries accumulate, increasing CPU usage, slowing down AEM Author, and in the worst cases, destabilizing entire environments.Because traversal warnings are logged rather than surfaced as functional errors, they are often ignored or misunde

Hello Team,I am trying to integrate AccelQ automation UI tests into my project and execute them as part of the Adobe CI/CD pipeline.I would appreciate guidance on the following: How to properly add or structure the ui.tests folder in the project for AccelQ test execution. Recommended project structure for integrating AccelQ with existing UI tests. Steps to configure AccelQ tests to run through the Adobe CI/CD pipeline. Any required build configurations, scripts, or plugins that need to be added to the pipeline. Sample configuration or documentation references, if available. My goal is to ensure that AccelQ automated UI tests are triggered automatically during the CI/CD process and results are reported as part of the pipeline execution.Thank you in advance for your support.

Greetings,We have a strange issue with our etc mapping structure, our project has a lot of domains and all of them are under etc/map, the recommendation for a better structure was to follow this guide/etc/map/         https/                 www.example.com.443/                           rulenodes But this approach makes it so the domain disappearsleaving https: //matchedPathWe do not know how to format the sling:internalRedirect and sling:match properties in order for the rules to work like they do under just etcAny help would be appreciatedBest Regards,Daniel

In Adobe Experience Manager (AEM), performing a rollout from a blueprint currently requires the initiating user to have at least read access to all live copies associated with that blueprint. If the user lacks access to even one unrelated or newly created live copy, the rollout operation fails—even when the user has full permissions on the blueprint and the intended target live copy.This behavior creates significant operational challenges in large, multi-site or multi-tenant environments where: Editors are intentionally restricted from accessing unrelated live copies New sites are frequently added under the same blueprint Permission models are designed to enforce strict content isolation As a result, editors are blocked from performing legitimate rollouts, while administrators can perform the same action successfully. This forces teams to either over-provision permissions, rely on admin intervention, or introduce service-account-based workarounds, all of which increase operational

 Stop Guessing: Visualize AEMaaCS Editor Activity with Splunk by @daniel-strmecki IntroductionWhen we talk about performance optimization in AEM as a Cloud Service (AEMaaCS), we usually focus on Dispatcher caching, CDN configuration, frontend performance, query indexing or backend refactoring. What often gets overlooked is the actual editor activity on the Author environment. Knowing how, when, and how intensely editors use AEM Author is critical operational information. Heavy editorial activity can significantly impact Author performance without proper optimizations in place, especially during peak hours. Conversely, periods of low editor activity present ideal windows for running content cleanup jobs, bulk imports, reindexing, or maintenance tasks that would otherwise degrade the editor experience.In this post, we’ll walk through how to build a Splunk dashboard to gain clear visibility into editor behavior on AEMaaCS Author. The goal of the dashboard is simple: to understand editor u
