Issue posting files from another application to AEM in 6.3

Hello everyone,

we have a functionality to upload pdf from an another application (.net) using httprequest directly to AEM. It was working fine in 6.1 but not in 6.3, we are getting "500-internal server error" in response. Is there any additional configuration to be made in 6.3?

we are posting file directly to https://www.sample.com/content/project/files

Thanks in advance.

Thanks

I think you probably found the root of your issue. It seems to me that your POST request is being sent directly to the Sling Post Servlet on the publish server without any authentication so it defaults to anonymous user (part of everyone group) and this user doesn't have write permissions for that path (/content/******/files). Alternatively you might be missing some of the details Sling Post Servlet requires to service your request and create the new resources in the JCR or the path doesn't actually exist? Documentation for Sling Post Servlet

If it's just a permission issue because you don't authenticate your request then I suggest you should create a special user for your external application with ACLs for that path and send the user details through basic http authentication request header.

Hi,

What error you are getting in AEM? 500 means code issue. If you are getting 403 in AEM then you need to check "Apache Sling Referrer Filter" configuration to allow post request from your domain.

You can see more security related changes for 6.1+

Hi Arun,

This functionality is working in my local instance. So I guess I am missing some configuration in dev environment.

Below is the error msg:

Error while processing /content/project/files

org.apache.sling.api.SlingException: Exception during response processing

Thanks

Hi,

Above error is not useful to find actual problem.

Could you please share error exception trace?

Hi,

It could be issue with AEM instance or upgrade. You can open support ticket.

I found same kind of thread

Getting error "Can't create child on a synthetic root" in 6.3

Upgrading from AEM6.0 to AEM6.3

Posting a file to AEM 6.3 works fine. See this video...  Go through the article shown in the video too. AEM 6.3 was used here.

Hi Scott,

Yes. I have gone through that article. but our scenario is different. we are trying to post a file as form data.

Today we tried providing access to "everyone" group for the respective path, it is working. but while using any user it is failing. its seems like authentication problem.

Thanks

Yes - sounds like its certainly an authen issue. For testing - you can try and remove authen on the servlet and see if that fixes the issue.

Once you know for sure that is the issue, then you can make sure during the HTTP call - you can provide authen credentials.
