Issue

  • When the user tries to access the URL: 'http://localhost:8080/c/', even if the 'c' page doesn't exist, it redirects to the login page instead of a 404 page not found.

Environment

  • Liferay DXP [all versions]

Resolution

  • In the URL, the prefix "c" designates a unique portal access point. Usually, there are several URLs, such as /c/portal/login, /c/portal/logout, or something similar, that use the prefix 'c'. It is typically not a URL pattern that a user will use, but an internal one that Liferay will use for internal redirection and other special functions.
  • As a result, when the user accesses the URL: http://localhost:8080/c/, it recognizes that he/she wants to access the portal and redirects them to the login page so that they can fill out their credentials before entering into the portal.
