CDN basic authentication password changes not applied in AEMaaCS
Updating the password for CDN basic authentication in Adobe Experience Manager as a Cloud Service (AEMaaCS) by modifying the secret environment variable doesn’t apply the new value because secret environment variables are immutable once deployed. To resolve this, create a new secret variable, update the cdn.yaml configuration to reference it, and redeploy the pipeline using Cloud Manager.
Description description
Environment
Adobe Experience Manager as a Cloud Service (AEMaaCS)
Issue/Symptoms
After updating the secret environment variable for CDN basic authentication and redeploying via Cloud Manager, requests still authenticate using the old password.
Resolution resolution
Note: Secret environment variables in AEMaaCS can’t be changed in place; creating a new secret is required for updates to take effect.
To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
- Create a new secret environment variable in Cloud Manager with the updated password value.
- Update your
cdn.yamlconfiguration file to reference this new secret variable for all relevant credentials. - Redeploy your configuration pipeline using Cloud Manager so the updated YAML and new secret are applied.
- Verify that authentication now uses the updated password by making an authenticated request to your CDN endpoint and checking that access is granted with the new credentials.
