Upgrading to AEM 6.5.2

[Karl515]

I'm testing upgrading from 6.4.2 to 6.5.*.

I can't upgrade the freshly upgraded 6.4.2 to 6.5.2. Always resulting to AuthenticationSupport service missing. Cannot authenticate request.

What I've tested

6.4.0 => 6.4.2 (ok)

6.4.2 => 6.5.1 (ok)

6.4.0 => 6.5.2 (AuthenticationSupport service missing. Cannot authenticate request.)

6.4.2 => 6.5.2 (AuthenticationSupport service missing. Cannot authenticate request.)

Any reason about this?

I've tried running pattern detector as stated in docs and it's all good.

Thanks.

It may be because of some bundles are not active or the lucene is corrupted.

Possible fix is:

1. Bring your bundles back to active, if it is not active.
2. Stop your instance. go to crx-quickstart\repository\index and delete index folder.

Restart the instance (This will regenerate Lucene indexes fully).

And Still if it is not fixed after deleting the index then please recover using oak-run using the below post: Getting an error after restarting the server that "Possible reason is missing Repository service. Ch...

As I Understand, you are able to successfully upgrade from 6.4.2 => 6.5.1 and the issue is only observed after installing SP2.

Can you log a daycare ticket and share the log files after the installation of SP2?

Thanks @arpitv but after following the steps, it's still producing the same error.

StartupMode is RESTART from upgrade logs, it should be UPGRADE when you unpack the jar. make sure all pre upgrade tasks are completed and quickstart.properties file is generated as mentioned in [0]
