VLT remote copy for AEM Cloud security restrictions

[jimmychaucap]

hi, I am trying to use the vault "vlt rcp" remote copy command to sync /content/cq:tags between two different author instances. One in DEV (origin) and another PROD (destination - AEM CLOUD author). The command actually works between two different DEV authors. The problem is when trying to sync to PROD.

I get this error:

[WARN ] Authentication required to access repository descriptors

[ERROR] rcp: javax.jcr.RepositoryException: Could not log into destination repository https://******:******@author-1234.adobeaemcloud.com/crx/server/-/jcr:root/content/cq%3atags 

caused by: javax.jcr.nodetype.ConstraintViolationException: Method Not Allowed

  caused by: org.apache.jackrabbit.webdav.DavException: Method Not Allowed

I am assuming the AEM Cloud production author instance has additional security restrictions that is blocking me. The credentials I created in PROD is verified to work, so that is not the issue. The issue could be the WEBDAV in production cloud blocks any commands to /crx/server/*. If this is the case, how do I overcome this?

@jimmychaucap Definitely the restriction at Production Author level. Have you checked the content sets functionality in cloud manager?

Using content sets doesn't allow sync to production; only downstream syncing.
