[Console][Error][AEM 6.4.8] We see a 403 Forbidden when clicking on =Drag a component=

[RaghuA]

We see a 403 Forbidden when clicking on "Drag a component". It can be simulated in AEM OOTB

Version: 6.4.8

Env: probably any but using macOS mojave 10.14.6

Browser: Chrome Version 84.0.4147.89 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Run Mode - Author running in 4012 port

Sample page : 

http://localhost:4512/editor.html/content/we-retail/us/en/about-us.html

Click on the "Drag a component" that is present above the footer

Check the console log and network log

there will be a redirection and we get

http://localhost:4512/mnt/overlay/wcm/core/content/editor/_jcr_content/content/items/content/content/items/styleselector.form.html/content/we-retail/us/en/about-us/_jcr_content/root/responsivegrid/*/ 403 (Forbidden)

Kindly advice.

Hi @RaghuA,

Can you confirm if you have permission (read, write, modify, delete) enabled for this path /content/we-retail/us/en/about-us/?

Thanks!!

[RaghuA]

Yes have all the permission.

I have admin access. Its a localhost vanila AEM 6.4 update to 6.4.8 service pack.. May be this issue is there in 6.4 also not sure.

Sling will have no idea how to resolve */

But what you're seeing is a non-issue, the asterisk is used as some selector in the front end and try adding a trailing / to any path it will also 403.

How are you impacted by this specifically? 

[RaghuA]

Thanks. Did not find impacts seeing this in console error logs.

Found more information around this and looks like there is fix in 6.5.4

@RaghuA , 

Verified on 6.4 instance. Looks fine for me. 

Please do double check if the user has create/modify permission. 

[RaghuA]

Thanks. Looks like there is a fix in ui.styleSelector.js as part of 6.5.4
