vanity url to redirect based on geo location for aem6.5

[srinivas_chann1]

Hello,

I would want to have the vanity url to redirect to correct geo location

Say I have vanity url https://www.abc.com/gk420d

I am based in Europe, then  I should land on /gb/en/

The page will look like https://www.abc.com/gb/en/abc.html

if I am based in US  then I should land on /us/en/

The page will look like https://www.abc.com/us/en/abc.html

How to achieve this , could you please provide pointers

The layers of url are

1>Akamai

2>AEM dispatcher

3>AEM publisher

Also what logger I have to add in AEM to check when  vanity url  we hit , the url it is getting redirected .

I want to check in the logger , so please provide the package details I could add for checking

Regards,

Srinivas

I have used the below approach for one of my clients:

1. Set a variable at CDN "Akamai-Viewer-Country", CDN will set this variable with country code like "au", "us", "de"
2. Add apache rewrite rule file to set a variable COUNTRY like
   

   SetEnvIfNoCase ^Akamai-Viewer-Country$ (AU) COUNTRY=au
   
   SetEnvIfNoCase ^Akamai-Viewer-Country$ (DE) COUNTRY=us

3. Add a pass-through rewrite rule to create URL for your vanity
   

   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/gk420d
   RewriteRule ^/(.*) /${COUNTRY}/en/abc.html [PT,NC,L]

You have to use LogLevel Directive [1] to track logs at apache level, setting logs at debug level will allow you to track request processing.
