Issue

  • The line below can be found on pages where guest users should not see confidential data.

    getSiteAdminURL: function() {
	return '<domainname>/group/guest/~/control_panel/manage?p_p_lifecycle=0&p_p_state=maximized&p_p_mode=view';
},

Environment

  • DXP 7.4+

Resolution

  • This is the expected behavior.
  • Liferay mitigates access to this URL via its permissions framework; if this URL is requested from the server without the necessary credentials, the requester would receive a 404 page or a login page (depending on security settings).
