How to enable SSH X11 forwarding in Linux?

How to enable SSH X11 forwarding in Linux?

The  X11 forwarding from putty using Xming was not working, the DISPLAY variable is not set(echo $DISPLAY) after opening the remote server session in putty(X11 forwarding is enabled in putty and also the display is specified as localhost:0.0)

The actual issue is the X11 forwarding was not enabled in remote linux server.

The following steps can be followed to enable the X11 forwarding in linux server.

Login to linux server through putty

vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Enable the following flags

AllowAgentForwarding yes
AllowTcpForwarding yes
X11Forwarding yes

Execute the following commands

service sshd restart

yum -y update xauth
yum -y install xauth

Now you will be able to perform X11 forwarding.

How to create different renditions for the Image in AEM/Adobe CQ5?

How to create different renditions for the Image in AEM/Adobe CQ5?

While uploading the images to DAM,Adobe Experience Manager(AEM) will create renditions of an image that include different sizes of the same image.This can be helpful when we need to create thumbnails or smaller views of large, high-resolution images.



We can configure the DAM Update Asset workflow to create the different renditions.
  • Login to http://localhost:4502/etc/workflow/models/dam/update_asset.html
  • In the workflow model select the thumbnail creation step and edit, in the process tab of the step we can add custom rendition values.
  • Save the workflow




How to use HTML5 adaptive image in AEM/Adobe CQ5?

How to use HTML5 adaptive image in AEM/Adobe CQ5?

This post will explain how to use HTML5 adaptive image in Adobe Experience Manager(AEM)

The srcset attribute in HTML5 <img> element, allows us to specify different images for varying viewport widths and pixel densities. This allows us to load a larger image for new high resolution devices while displaying lower resolution images for others

<img src="image-src.png" srcset="image-1x.png 1x, image-2x.png 2x,image-3x.png 3x, image-4x.png 4x">

The width also can be specified to select the images.

<img src="small.jpg" srcset="medium.jpg 1000w, large.jpg 2000w" alt="Sample Image">

While uploading the images to DAM, Adobe CQ5 will create renditions of an image that include different sizes of the same image.This can be helpful when we need to create thumbnails or smaller views of large, high-resolution images.


The original or different rendition images can be used in HTML5 Adaptive image to display the images based on pixel density of the device,  browser will serve the image based on the resolution of the client.

<img src="/content/dam/Albin/Untitled.jpg/jcr:content/renditions/original" srcset="/content/dam/Albin/Untitled.jpg/jcr:content/renditions/cq5dam.thumbnail.319.319.png 1x,/content/dam/Albin/Untitled.jpg/jcr:content/renditions/original" alt="Sample Image">
