Dispatcher Caching dispatcher-caching

Overview overview

Dispatcher caching for AEM Communities is the ability for the dispatcher to serve fully cached versions of a community site’s pages.

Currently, it is only supported for anonymous site visitors, such as users who browse the community site, or land on a community page as a result of a search, as well as for search engines which index pages. The benefit is that anonymous users and search engines will experience improved performance.

For signed in members, the dispatcher bypasses the cache, relaying requests directly to the publisher, such that all pages are generated and delivered dynamically.

When configured to support dispatcher caching, a TTL-based “max age” expiration is added to the header to ensure the dispatcher cached pages are current.

Requirements requirements

Dispatcher version 4.1.2 or later (see Installing Dispatcher for the latest version)
ACS AEM Commons package
- Version 3.3.2 or later
- ACS AEM Commons - Dispatcher Cache Control Header - Max Age OSGi config

Configuration configuration

The OSGi configuration ACS AEM Commons - Dispatcher Cache Control Header - Max Age sets the expiraton of cached pages that appear under a specified path.

From the Web Console
- For example, http://localhost:4503/system/console/configMgr
Locate ACS AEM Commons - Dispatcher Cache Control Header - Max Age
Select the ‘+’ icon to create a new connection configuration

chlimage_1-339

Filter Patterns
(required) One or more paths to community pages. For example, /content/sites/engage/(.*).
Cache-Control Max Age
(required) The max age (in seconds) to add to the Cache Controll header. The value must be greater than zero (0).

Dispatcher Client Headers dispatcher-client-headers

In the /clientheaders section of dispatcher.any, if listing a specific set of headers, it is necessary to include "CSRF-Token" in order for the Enablement feature to work properly.

Dispatcher Filters dispatcher-filters

The /filter section of the dispatcher.any file is documented in Configuring Access to Content - /filter.

This section describes entries that are likely necessary for proper functioning of Communities features.

The filter property names follow the convention of using a four-digit number to indicate the order in which to apply filter patterns. When multiple filters patterns apply to a request, the last filter pattern that applies is effective. Thus, the very first filter pattern is often used to deny everything, such that the following patterns serve to restore access in a controlled manner.

The following samples use property names that will likely need to be modified to fit into any particluar dispatcher.any file.

Dispatcher Security Checklist

NOTE

Property Name Examples
All property names shown, such as /0050 and /0170, should be adjusted to fit within an existing dispatcher.any configuration file.

The following entries should be added to the end of the /filter section, especially after all deny entries.

Dispatcher Rules dispatcher-rules

The rules section of dispatcher.any defines what responses should be cached based on the requested URL. For Communities, the rules section is used to define what should never be cached.

Troubleshooting troubleshooting

A major source of problems is inserting filter rules without paying attention to the affect on earlier rules, especially when adding a rule to deny access.

The very first filter pattern is often used to deny everything so that following filters restore access in a controlled manner. When multiple filters apply to a request, the last filter that applies is the one in effect.
