Configuring same short URL/Vanity URL for different sites with https – AEM/Adobe CQ5

This post will explain how to configure same short URL/Vanity URL for different sites that is accessible through https in Adobe CQ5/AEM.

Recently we had a scenario to be implemented, two different websites needs to be accessed with same URL and with https protocol.

e.g

https://example1.com/en.html

https://example2.com/en.html

Both the sites are mapped to different nodes as below

https://example1.com/en.html  --> /content/example1/en

https://example2.com/en.html --> /content/example2/en

Create the redirect rules in dispatchers, inside the corresponding virtual host (httpd.conf) to redirect the http request to https and to shorten the URL’s .

RewriteRule ^/content/example1/(.*)$  /$1 [NE,L,R=301]

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off

RewriteRule ^/$ https:// example1.com/en.html

RewriteRule ^/en.html https:// example1.com/en.html

RewriteRule ^/en/(.*)$ https:// example1.com/en/$1

Repeat the same for example2.com and for all the dispatchers.

Mapping in publisher :

Go to <<AEM Publisher Host>>:4503/system/console/configMgr with admin credentials. Search for Apache Sling Resource Resolver, and change the value of mapping location from /etc/map to /etc/map.publish

Upgrading the dispatcher module in Adobe Experience Manager(AEM)

Upgrading the dispatcher module in Adobe Experience Manager(AEM)

Download the required dispatcher module version from the following URL 

https://www.adobeaemcloud.com/content/companies/public/adobe/dispatcher/dispatcher.html 

Extract the dispatcher module 

tar -xvzf <dispatcher-xxxxxxxx.tar.gz> (linux) 

Copy the extracted dispatcher-xxxxxxxxxx.so file to the module folder of the server. 

Modify the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file - remove the previous dispatcher module and add the new version.

This is caused by using an incorrect JDK version(1.8).

All Fusion Middlleware 12.1.3 products will run on JDK 1.7.55+ version.

To fix the issue downgrade the JDK to supported version.

Downgrade the JDK:

Change all the JDK location referred in the following paths:

<<Middleware_Home>>/Oracle_Home/user_projects/SOA_domain/bin/setDomainEnv.sh

<<Middleware_Home>>/Oracle_Home/oracle_common/common/bin/commEnv.sh

<<Middleware_Home>>/Oracle_Home/user_projects/SOA_domain/nodemanager/nodemanager.properties

Restart the servers.

ORA-01882: timezone region not found while creating schemas through RCU utility - Oracle SOA 12C

 ORA-01882: timezone region not found while creating schemas through RCU utility - Oracle SOA 12C

We were receiving the following exception while running the RCU Utility to create the required schema's in Oracle SOA 12C

ORA-01882: timezone region not found while creating schema's through RCU utility - Oracle SOA 12C

This can be resolved by setting the TZ environment variable before starting the RCU Utility with the supported Timezone of database machine

e.g.

export TZ='UTC'
echo $TZ

Restart the RCU utility.
