Rich Text Links to Author Environment

Using the Core Text Component (you should use that as opposed to the Foundation Text Component) - you will see:

I tried with '/libs/foundation/components/text' and '/apps/core/wcm/components/text/v2/text' and couldn't reproduce it.

Check for the project customization as mentioned above.

the screenshot that you've shared above mentions SSL enabled hostname which is probably configured in 'Apache Felix Jetty Based Http service" and that could potentially be responsible for re-writing these links along with some other configuration.

It doesn't look like I'm able to upload the zip file.  Are there any particular portions that I can just copy and paste for you?

It looks like the Apache Felix settings are just the default settings.  I'm beginning to wonder if the ssl cert was maybe setup and configured wrong.  Could that cause the issue that we're having?

Can you please try your issue on a fresh AEM Server and see if you can reproduce.

This is a new server.  It also happens across all three tiers (dev, qa, and prod).

SSL cert would not cause this issue. I've tested on a 6.4 author with SSL and I couldn't reproduce this behavior.

Could you share the screenshot of Day CQ Link Externalizer from /system/console/configMgr?

In addition to that, could you share the screenshots/configuration files under your project's code path -  /apps/<project_root>/config  and /apps/<project_root>/config.author etc.?

It looks like the Day CQ Link Externalizer is just the default settings.  I checked our old server (AEM 6.0) where the links worked and it appears that nothing was setup before there either.

There are no config or config.author nodes under the projects themselves.  Here are the config nodes under system/config.

I am happy to hear it is fixed.
