From what you said it seems that it might be blocked at dispatcher ... I don't think you need to enable it just check the dispatcher config file to ensure its not blocked. You may have an entry similar to this that block access to CRX and CRXDE Light using filter rule: /ruleLabel{/glob "* /crx*"/type "deny"}

In order to allow CRXDe via dispatcher, a configuration shoudl include a fidler similar to:

/0012 { /type "allow" /url "/crx/*"    }

Note: you must restart your HTTPD server so dispatcher configuration takes an effect. Also, Dispatcher rules are counted from top to the bottom, so make sure that nothing else overwrite the rule that allows access to CRXDe

Hi Ruchi,

Please confirm whether your instance is running in production ready mode Running AEM in Production Ready Mode

In order to ensure that AEM installations are as secure as possible, the security checklist recommends disabling WebDAV in production environments.

However, CRXDE Lite depends on the org.apache.sling.jcr.davex bundle to function properly, so disabling WebDAV will effectively disable CRXDE Lite as well.

As stated by Jaideep , crx/de lite can be enabled by Enabling CRXDE Lite in AEM .

I hope it helps.

Can you clarify the following:

1. the same username is used when bypassing dispatcher i.e. using IP and port number

2. you are able to see the full repository tree when using IP and port number
