Episode Notes

What this episode covers.

Once front-end assets are organized using Client Libraries, the next question is:
How are these assets safely exposed to users?

That’s where allowProxy comes in.

In this video, I explain allowProxy in Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) in simple terms:
• What allowProxy means
• Why Client Libraries are not directly exposed by default
• How allowProxy helps protect internal repository paths
• Why this design improves security and maintainability

allowProxy is not a workaround.
It’s a deliberate design choice that balances security with usability.

Understanding allowProxy helps you see how AEM protects internal structure while still delivering front-end assets efficiently.
