Repoinit script

[stiegjo22]

I've created a Repoinit script using an OSGi Service Factory Configuration. I've successfully deployed the OSGi configuration containing the Repoinit script and I can see it under /system/console/configMgr, but the rep:policy isn't created in the DAM as expected. Can someone please provide guidance?

<jcr:root xmlns:sling="http://sling.apache.org/jcr/sling/1.0"
          xmlns:jcr="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/1.0"

          jcr:primaryType="sling:OsgiConfig"
          repoinit.content='{
        "scripts": [
            "set ACL for path /content/dam/advisor/ deny jcr:all on granted group everyone",
            "set ACL for path /content/dam/advisor/ allow jcr:read on granted group jhi-employee",
   
        ]
    }'/>

what is the error you are getting?

did you add all dependencies in POM ?

You need to explicitly create the folders on which you are setting the ACLs 

1. Add repoinit statements to the script property of the config. The syntax and options are documented in Sling documentation. There should be explicit creation of a parent folder before their child folders. For example, an explicit creation of /content before /content/myfolder, before /content/myfolder/mysubfolder. For ACLs being set on low-level structures, it is recommended to set them on a higher level and work with a rep:glob restriction. For example, (allow jcr:read on /apps restriction(rep:glob,/msm/wcm/rolloutconfigs)).

and if you are working on aem cloud your repoint file should be in json formats. A sample repoinit file is always created if you create a project based on new maven archetype

try this:

{
  "scripts": [
      "create path /content/dam/advisor",      
      "set ACL for everyone\n\tdeny jcr:all on /content/dam/advisor\nend",
      "set ACL for jhi-employee\n\tallow jcr:read on /content/dam/advisor\nend"
  ]
}

Thanks Anish.

[stiegjo22 · Accepted solution]

This was the correct syntax after some more testing (in AEM 6.5.18):

scripts=["
  set ACL for employee
  allow jcr:read on /content/dam/advisor
  end

"]
