Enabling SSL in Dispatcher with self signed certificate - Adobe CQ5

This post will explain how to Enabling SSL in Dispatcher with self signed certificate in Adobe CQ5

Generating Self signed certificate in Dispatcher:

Create a folder ssl under /etc/httpd/ directory.
Generate server.key and server.crt file by running the following command:

openssl req -new -x509 -sha1 -newkey rsa:1024 \
-nodes -keyout /etc/httpd/ssl/server.key -out /etc/httpd/ssl/server.crt \
-subj '/O=<Organization>/OU=<Department>/CN= <Common Name>'

Change the <Organization>, <Department> and <Common Name> accordingly.

Configure Dispatcher:

Install mod_ssl.so by running the following command
yum install mod_ssl

Modify the VirtualHost in /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf file with the host name.

<VirtualHost test.server.com:443>

Also, specify the server certificate and key path in the below properties.

SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/ssl/server.crt

Referencing the services between OSGI bundles – AEM

Referencing the services between OSGI bundles – AE

This post explains how to refer the services between OSGI bundles in Adobe Experience Manager.

Export-Package:

Bundles may export zero or more packages from the JAR to be consumable by other bundles. The export list is a comma-separated list of fully-qualified packages, often with a version attribute. If not specified, the version defaults so 0.0.0.

In the target bundle the packages contains the required services and the classes exposed to the other bundles should be exported.


Import-Package 

The Import-Package header is used to declare dependencies at a package level from the bundle. At runtime, the bundle will be wired up with whatever (compatible) bundle offers the package.

In the source bundle the packages contains the required services and classes referred from other bundle should be imported.
