Symptoms

ACTUAL BEHAVIOR

Unable to hide the following URL to the Enterprise Library directory for browsing view:

https://<HOSTNAME>:<PORT>/webcenter/content/conn/WebCenterSpaces-ucm/path/Enterprise Libraries/



EXPECTED BEHAVIOR

Should be able to protect the URL from public access.

STEPS

The issue can be reproduced at will with the following steps:

1. Get the name of the WebCenter Portal connection to content server.
   e.g.:
   
   
   • Connect to Fusion Middleware Control.
     
     
   • Navigate to the WebCenter Portal home.
     WebCenter -> Portal -> Server -> WebCenter Portal (WC_Portal)
     
     
   • From the WebCenter Portal drop-down menu select:
     Settings -> Service Configuration
     
     
   • Select: Content Repository
     
     
   • Note down the name of the content repository connection.
     e.g.: WebCenterSpaces-ucm
     
     
     
2. Using the WebCenter Portal host name and port and the content server connection access this URL in a browser:
   
   http://<HOSTNAME>:<PORT>/webcenter/content/conn/WebCenterSpaces-ucm/path/Enterprise Libraries/ 
   
   You should see the URL shows content folder of public portals without accessing the content directly from WebCenter Portal.
