Accessing A Content Item Over A Web Mapped URL (WebUrlMap) Fails With Error: "Unable to retrieve content. Security access denied." (Doc ID 1639028.1)

Last updated on AUGUST 31, 2023

Applies to:

Oracle WebCenter Content - Version 11.1.1.6.0 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

You have created a Web Mapped URL to allow easier access to content items that are located under a specific folder branch.

When attempting to access content items under that WebURLMap (for example: "http://myhost.<Sample Domain>.com:16200/cs/mymap/readme.txt") as a user that has read permissions, the following error is thrown:

"Unable to retrieve content. Security access denied"

The same content item can be downloaded successfully
- when browsing to it through the (Folders_G) Contribution Folders
- from the items' Content Information page (Web Layout URL)

A full verbose trace using the "services, requestaudit" shows the following stack trace:
