Configuring Anonymous access for Sling Servlet

[durga nuvvula <du...@gmail.com>]

Hello Team,

My use case scenario is Apache webserver directs all the requests to the
Sling servlet and Sling servlet would forward the calls to CQ or our
internal webapp depending upon the url. I need the anonymous access for
accessing my Sling Servlet.


When I call my Sling Servlet from the Apache webserver, it is redirected to
libs/cq/core/content/login.html. When I hit in the CQ server direcly for
that servlet thats not redirecting to the login page and directly the
servlet is served. Only when apache webserver dispatches the request, its
being redirected to */libs/cq/core/content/login.html.*


*[rid#18017320/initial] (4) RewriteCond: input='/mcdonalds'
pattern='^/(.*)$' => matched*

*[rid#18017320/initial] (2) rewrite '/mcdonalds' ->
'/apps/myvanity/forwardvanity?category=mcdonalds'*

*[rid#18017320/initial] (3) split
uri=/apps/myvanity/forwardvanity?category=mcdonalds ->
uri=/apps/myvanity/forwardvanity, args=category=mcdonalds*

*[rid#18017320/initial] (2) local path result: /apps/myvanity/forwardvanity*

*[rid#18017320/initial] (2) prefixed with document_root to
/u/apache/htdocs/apps/myvanity/forwardvanity*

*[rid#18017320/initial] (1) go-ahead with
/u/apache/htdocs/apps/myvanity/forwardvanity [OK]*

*[rid#180092b0/initial] (2) init rewrite engine with requested uri
/libs/cq/core/content/login.html*

When I look into the configuration in the Apache Sling Authentication
Service, I could see the AllowAnonymouAccess option is being checked. Also
I tried to configure the AuthenticationRequirements property to

*-*/apps/myvanity/forwardvanity to allow this url anonymous access
explicitly. After the configuration I could even see that my entry got
added in the Authenticator tab.

Could some one please suggest how to allow the anonymous access for that
servlet such that my apache webserver would not redirect to login page. Any
suggestions/pointers would be appreciated.
