I want to export AEM content to frontend team. Planning to export content using content as service. For security reason we want to authenticate AEM APIs and AEM Assets. For example. /content/my-site/welcome.modal.json and it is DAM assets to be accessible by the frontend application.

 

In AEMaaCS we can authentication token from develop console which then can be shared to frontend team. In case of AMS, AEM 6.513 world, what token to be shared to frontend/external application? Does AEM 6.5 provide any OOTB authentication service to validate the frontend/external application ?

    How about using apache sling referrer filter in AEM. AEM will reject the request if we are not allowing the front end application in "Allow Host"

    Is this not sufficient to control frontend application ? Do we really oauth kind of authentication?

      When you write "authentication service to validate the frontend/external application", does that mean that the user (which is using this frontend application) is not required to authenticate, but only the application itself?

       

      In other words, do you want to only your frontend application can access AEM content? And that it should not be possible that I can download the same content using curl (or any HTTP client)?
