Connecting to Adobe Experience Manager JCR Repository

This connection allows you to access content stored in an Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) JCR repository using WebDAV. The JCR (Java Content Repository) is the underlying storage system used by AEM to manage content nodes, properties, and metadata. You can connect to both local AEM instances and cloud-based AEM environments.

1. Set the URL to the WebDAV-enabled JCR server.
   • Local development: http://localhost:4502/crx/server
   • AEM as a Cloud Service: https://XXXX-pXXXX-eXXXX.adobeaemcloud.com/crx/server
2. Depending on the AuthScheme used:
   • For Basic make sure to provide User and Password.
   • For None no authentication is required and no additional configuration is necessary.

Once the connection is configured, you can query JCR nodes and properties exposed through the WebDAV endpoint using standard SQL queries. Ensure that the configured user has sufficient permissions to access the required content paths in the AEM repository.
