Configure dispatcher for permission-sensitive caching

[anilkum]

Hi,

We are doing permission sensitive caching implementation as detailed out int the link - https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/dispatcher/permissions-cache.html but we are facing a situation... The dispatcher's auth_checker integrates perfectly with the Authentication Servlet as specified in the auth_checker configuration. But even after dispatcher logs a "Filter rejects" message for the specific URL, it still shows up in the browser instead of 403

This behavior which I feel is probably of Apache is pretty confusing. Any insights what is missing between the configuration between httpd.conf and dispatcher.any?

Environment: Windows 7 64 bit, Apache 2.2, dispatcher version (dispatcher-apache2.2-windows-x86-4.1.12) and AEM 6 publish.

Regards,

Anil

Hi,

can you share some dispatcher logs, which show such a situation?
