How to Configure CSP header in AEM ? Content Security Policy (CSP) is a security feature that helps prevent cross-site scripting (XSS) and other code injection attacks by restricting the sources from which a page can load resources. To implement a CSP header in an Apache web server, you can use the Header directive in your Apache configuration. Here are the steps to implement a CSP header in Apache: Determine your CSP policy: First, you need to determine your CSP policy. This policy defines the rules for what types of content can be loaded from which sources.

How Does S3 works with AEM ?

How Does S3 works with AEM  ? Accommodating a huge amount of assets in any content management platform is challenging. Adobe Experience Manager offers an integration with the Amazon S3 storage solution, allowing binary data for images, documents and videos to be stored in an S3 bucket. Amazon S3 is highly performant and offers nearly infinite storage capacity.   When talking about terabyte storage, performance is everything. The choices made during the planning and architecting phase can literally make or break the performance of a CMS system and the websites running on it.  Adobe Experience Manager offers a number of storage methods, each offering a different way of storing data. Each of these options has its strengths and weaknesses. In AEM storage the mechanisms are called Micro Kernels, or MK for short.  In this article we will look at the AEM with S3 data store. For the detailed steps for S3 configuration you can refer -  https://www.aemrules.com/2022/05/how-to-configure-s3-in-aem

Prevent DDoS in Apache & IP Block Automation DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks are a type of cyberattack that can cause serious damage to your web server. These attacks involve flooding your server with a huge volume of traffic, overwhelming its resources and causing it to crash. In this blog post, we'll discuss how to prevent DDoS attacks in Apache, without using any third part tool/application.     Available Options to Prevent DDoS : You can use various mentioned methods to achieve the same. But using WAF, CDN, etc will cost extra dollars. Which might not be necessary for a small scale application.   Use a Web Application Firewall (WAF): A WAF can help detect and block malicious traffic before it reaches your Apache server. It can also help block common attack vectors, such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS). Install mod_evasive: mod_evasive is an Apache module that helps detect and block DDoS attacks. It wor

How to protect AEM against CSRF Attack ? Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) is a popular content management system that is widely used to develop and manage websites, mobile apps, and other digital experiences. However, like any other web application, AEM is vulnerable to cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks. CSRF attacks are malicious attacks where an attacker tricks a user into performing an action they did not intend to perform by exploiting the user's active session on a website. In this blog, we will discuss some measures that can be taken to protect AEM from CSRF attacks.   Implement CSRF protection in AEM:   The first and most important step to protect AEM from CSRF attacks is to implement CSRF protection in the application. AEM provides a built-in CSRF protection mechanism that can be enabled by setting the "sling.filter.methods" property in the OSGi configuration. This property specifies which HTTP methods are allowed to execute without requiring a CSRF

How to Configure S3 in AEM  Configuring s3 data stores in AEM 6 In Adobe Experience Manager (AEM), binary data can be stored independently from the content nodes. The binary data is stored in a data store, whereas content nodes are stored in a node store. Both data stores and node stores can be configured using OSGi configuration. Each OSGi configuration is referenced using a persistent identifier (PID). In this article we learn the detailed steps for configuration S3 data store in AEM.  You can get the architectural level understand of S3 with AEM from article -  https://www.aemrules.com/2021/06/how-does-s3-works-with-aem.html   Amazon S3 Data Store AEM can be configured to store data in Amazon’s Simple Storage Service (S3).
