Updating the Salesforce Connector jar(cq-mcm-salesforce) to support Proxy server and TLS 1.1 - Adobe CQ5/AEM

Updating the Salesforce Connector jar(cq-mcm-salesforce) to support Proxy server and TLS 1.1 - Adobe CQ5/AEM


Updating the Salesforce Connector jar(cq-mcm-salesforce) to support Proxy server and TLS 1.1 - Adobe CQ5/Adobe Experience Manager(AEM)

Steps to update Salesforce Connector jar(cq-mcm-salesforce) to support Proxy server and TLS 1.1

The AEM Salesforce connector is not supporting the Proxy Server and TLS 1.1 or TLS 1.2 versions:

This is the defect with AEM Salesforce Connector, the connector will not be able to connect to Salesforce server behind the proxy server. The SalesforceClient.java class in the connector should be changed to enable the proxy server.

The connector will not be able to connect to Salesforce server if the Adobe Experience Manager(AEM) server is ruuning with Jave version less than 1.8, Java versions less than 1.8 will not support TLS 1.1 or higher version by default but Salesforce expect TLS 1.1 or TLS 1.2 to establish the connectivity. The SalesforceClient.java class in the connector should be changed to support the TLS 1.1 or TLS 1.2, if the  AEM server is running with Java version less than 1.8

I have tested this in Adobe Experience Manager(AEM) 6.1 version, this should be the same case with 6.2 also. Raise an issue with Adobe to get the hotfix until the issue is permanently fixed.

The below is the quick fix to resolve the issue.

Download the /libs/mcm/salesforce/install/cq-mcm-salesforce-1.2.8.jar through package manager

Create a sample project -  mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:2.4:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=com.adobe.granite.archetypes -DarchetypeArtifactId=aem-project-archetype  -DarchetypeVersion=10 -DarchetypeCatalog=https://repo.adobe.com/nexus/content/groups/public/

              groupId=com.day.cq.mcm
              artifactId=cq-mcm-salesforce
              version=1.2.8
              package=com.adobe.cq.mcm.salesforce 
             Enter mcm for other values
 
Execute mvn eclipse:eclipse command in the parent folder of the project and load the project to eclipse

Extract the downloaded jar file and decompile the class files using JAD
Create all the java classes manually in core project with same package details and copy the content from decompiled classes
Replace the pom.xml of core project with the pom.xml content from the decompiled jar

Generating the missing renditions for the Asset - Adobe CQ5/AEM

Generating the missing renditions for the Asset - Adobe CQ5/AEM

This post will explain the approach to generate the missing renditions for the asset(images) under a specific folder location in  Adobe Experience Manager(AEM)

Create a custom workflow with "Create Thumpnail" step


Edit "Create Thumpnail" step and configure the required renditions.


Servlet to re-generate the missing renditions:

Modify the workflow model path in the servlet with the actual path, the servlet is configured to handle the renditions 370.208 and 470.264(the same renditions are configured in the workflow). The code change is required to handle new renditions by the servlet.

Parameters:
path= the parent path of the assets(images) folder
test=true/false(true - Dry run, false - generate the renditions)
