Link checker removing CUG dam link

[Amit-Tiwari]

Hi Guys,

I need some suggestion to handle dam link that are protected.

I have a CUG area in dam lets say /content/dam/protected

I am forcing any link under that path for SSO login and its working If I am directly hitting those URL like

www.example.com/content/dam/protected/asset.pdf 

but if I configure the same link on a page link checker remove that link as anonymous user does not have access to that area.

I did the configuration day cq link checker to exclude pattern /content/dam/protected/* but its still removing the link.

I wanted my link not to be removed, any suggestions are welcome.

Hi @Amit-Tiwari,

if you have added the link pattern under the Special Link Patterns field in the configuration it will still validate the link. Add the pattern under the Link Check Override Patterns and check.
