Sitecore 10 - ASP.NET Core Rendering SDK Fix for ERROR: for traefik Cannot start service traefik:

During the setup for ASP.NET Core Rendering SDK, I found below error

 ERROR: for traefik  Cannot start service traefik:



Investigation, I checked the default port of traefik in container and found it was trying to connect port 443


I checked my local Sitecore 10 IIS setup and found the same port is being used by 


For the time being, I have turned off the local site to make it work, but we can modify the traefik configuration for the permanent fix, I will post a separate blog post for that.

Sitecore 10 - ASP.NET core rendering engine - Fix for Error - 'Invoke-WebRequest' is not recognized as an internal or external command

During the ASP.NET core rendering engine setup, I found below error 


I updated the docker file for the absolute path "RUN Invoke-WebRequest 'https;//dist.nuget.org/win-x86-commonadline/v5.6.0/nuget.exe' - UserBasicPrasing -OutFile ''C;\ProgramFiles\NugGet\nuget.exe" but it didn't work.

Error - 'Invoke-WebRequest' is not recognized as an internal or external command

My current PowerShell version was 5.1

I tried run this command through the plain PowerShell window, As suggested by Sitecore community and it worked for me - 

$Url = 'https://www.google.com/search?q=jitendra%20soni%20sitecore'
$Web = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $Url -UseBasicParsing
$Web.BaseResponse.ResponseUri.AbsoluteUri

I used the above command for the testing.

I was discussing in the Sitecore slack thread and as suggested by Vincen and Maarten, I found this link useful 


Conclusion and fix - basically to make it work, I had to modify the script to set the default shell to PowerShell,


I was thinking to provide this fix into the Sitecore main GitHub repository but found that this had already fixed by our community legend GuidovTricht 

As always, Don't forget to appreciate the hard work and contribution of our community members, so I added my comments.

Investigation and fix for SubmitCurrentVisitorOrder: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Recently, We got this issue while processing the order, Here are the investigation and fix details

We did a third party payment integration and while the payment party submit the success request to our website (XP + XC 9.3) we took the transaction details, Add a new components and send it to create the order.

The order created successfully but XC didn't redirect to order confirmation page, I think the process is after the order submission XC internally call the SubmitCurrentVisitorOrder to get the order details and show to the order confirmation page.



Investigation -  The error was clear the context was missing of visitor could be related to ant forgery or some missing handshake.

the point was the it was working fine in Firefox browser, so first we compare all cookies and session with Mozila and found a diff.


Mozila - We didn't find any diff.



We noticed that in Chrome there are mismatch in the ASP.NET_SessionId and there are a few missing cookies Global Analytics.

We have disabled the analytics and after that we found the same ASP.NET_SessionId and Analytics cookies,

So the issue was related to analytics, We have turned it off and raised a Sitecore ticket for the further investigation, I will keep you posted for the further update.

Simple powershell ISE script to replace/correct sitecore content items.

  Recntly, I got a requirement to update all the content item, basically replacing all spaces with _ (under score).

Here is simple script to do that.

 cd '/sitecore/content/Home/Test'  
 Get-ChildItem -Recurse . | Where-Object { $_.Name -match " " } | ForEach-Object {   
   $originalName = $_.Name  
   $newName = $originalName -Replace " ", "_"  
   Write-Host "Renaming item from " -nonewline;  
   Write-Host $originalName -f Yellow -nonewline;  
   Write-Host " to " -nonewline;  
   Write-Host $newName -f Green;  
   $_.Editing.BeginEdit()  
   $_.Name = $newName;  
   $_.Editing.EndEdit()  
 }  

We can extend this script to update/assoicate the image url for the catalog items and so It's taht much easy.

Sitecore XC 9.3 - HttpAntiForgeryException during third party payment integration and enable SameSite cookies with .Net framework 4.7.1.

 Recently, I have integrated a third party payment system with the Sitecore XC 9.3.

The high-level process flow was that our Application would open the payment gateway with some hash key generated (based on a few fields), Application will also send the redirect URL in case of failure and success.

Now, Once we open the payment gateway and when it redirects to our website, It fails only in chrome browser and it was happening randomly, not always.

We did the investigation and discussed with the payment provider, They did mention below details.

The issue is missing Session-Id when the payment provider returns for the diff domain, and because of change in Session, the Sitecore XC application understands this as an attack and didn't get the context.

The default Asp.Net Session-Id is SeamSite = Lax


More details about available here  - t.ly/cAp0

Details - Short Description of Incident


Q.1 How does Chrome `SameSite` Cookie policy affect my browser redirection integration? In Chrome v.84 SameSite cookie attribute is released which if not handled by the server may lead to an issue causing loss of session data or session ID gets NULL. Merchants might experience a sudden surge of incomplete orders at their end Q.2 About Chrome's `SameSite` Cookie Policy For users running Chrome v.84 and higher, Chrome is enforcing a secure-by-default cookie classification system treating cookies that have not declared `SameSite` value as `SameSite=Lax` cookies. Only cookies set as `SameSite=None` will be available, provided they are being accessed from secure connections. Chrome 84 release note link for reference:https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/7679408?hl=en Q.3 How to fix (or prepare) for it? Session data is not a part of PayU integration, it is managed by merchants. You can refer to the link below and make required changes.Below link can be used for reference.( Ref. https://web.dev/samesite-cookies-explained/ )


Reference - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/samesite/csmvc



I was using .Net framework version 4.7.1 and had no time to migrate the version at this short time, now the second option is how to manage this in .Net framework version 4.7.1, I found a solution and able to get the appropriate result, here are the details.

I rad 100's of the article and StackOverflow post on that to use custom modules and so but finally able to manage through the below steps -

Overview

========

The <sessionState cookieSameSite="None" /> and <httpCookies requireSSL="true"/> settings in web.config

set the SameSite=None and Secure cookie attributes of the ASP.NET session cookie but don't take into 

account incompatible browsers.

The SameSiteNone HTTP Module is an alternative approach that sets the SameSite=None and Secure cookie attributes 

if the browser is compatible and clears the SameSite attribute if the browser is incompatible.

Incompatible browsers are listed at:

https://www.chromium.org/updates/same-site/incompatible-clients

It requires .NET framework v4.8 or later to be installed on the web server.

The web application does not have to target .NET framework v4.8 or later.

Configuration

=============

Add the following to the application's web.config.

  <system.webServer>

    <modules>

      <add name="SameSiteNoneHttpModule" type="ComponentSpace.SameSiteNoneHttpModule"/>

    </modules>

  </system.webServer>

Copy the ComponentSpace.SameSiteNone.dll to the application's bin folder.

Specifying the Cookies

======================

By default the HTTP module monitors the ASP.NET_SessionId cookie and updates it, if required.


The SameSiteNoneCookies app setting in the application's web.config may specify a comma-separated list of cookies to monitor.

  <appSettings>

    <add key="SameSiteNoneCookies" value="ASP.NET_SessionId, some-other-cookie"/>

  </appSettings>

I found this dll from the ComponentSpace, but can't see the link anymore so adding the package reference here if anyone wants to download and try

t.ly/4a7E


Even, After this change, We couldn't resolve the issue and finally followed below approach to provide the fix.

We created an intermediate page to redirect the response from the payment provider and redirect again to the Sitecore XC review page.

That change also sometimes got fail (I know it's weird).

 Finally, on the review page, in case if we were getting the null response from the payment provider (Transaction null), we were calling the payment provider API again to get the latest transaction update. As there was an option to get the transaction details based on input value transaction id ( which we generate before calling the payment provider), We used the same pre-transaction Id to get the response, and that has wholly unblocked us.

Let me know if you have any questions,

Sitecore XC 9.3 Bizfx - Fix for weird Display text and images.

 Recently, I found a difference in Bizfx dashboard and the inventory was not loading properly (Not showing sellable items).




I checked the log and found the Redis OOTM error, Increasing the Redis memory had resolved the issue.

Sitecore XC 9.3 - Investigation and fix for PolicySet json is not valid.

 


Recently, I have created a new plugin and published my changes, during the bootstrap, I noticed below error.
 "@odata.context": "https://localhost:5000/CommerceOps/$metadata#Commands/$entity",  
 "@odata.type": "#Sitecore.Commerce.Core.Commands.BootstrapCommand",  
 "Id": "2ac9de6b5e6449458cf4276f2043762a",  
 "ResponseCode": "Error",  
 "Messages": [  
  {  
   "MessageDate": "2020-10-08T07:17:30.7284748Z",  
   "Code": "Error",  
   "Text": "PolicySet json is not valid.",  
   "CommerceTermKey": "InvalidPolicySetJson"  
  }  
 ]  
 }  


Initially, I thought it's related to json format of the policy so I quickly revalidated all the format but the format was okay.

I compared the field in the ClientPolicy.cs and Policy.json file those were identical, After a quick investigation, I noticed that the namespace of my class file was not correct, Channing the correct namespace fixed that issue.

I didn't see any hint in output response which can point out that the issue in a particular file, I had to review all the recent files, I think we should have that option, If I get a chance I will share my feedback with the Sitecore or will extend and update in my next blogs.

Please let me know if have any question related to this issue.

Solution -  I opened the mmc.exe, selected the certificates and allowed all application pools access to the CD server certificate.



Sitecore XP and XC fix for Odata Client, version = 6.19.0.21114- The System cannot find the file specified.

 


Recently, I got above error during the setup of a new CD server (XP (CD role) + XC(Shop role)) 

Seems very straight forward that there is a diff in Microsoft.OData.Client assembly version.

I took the latest configuration (Including web.conf) and dll from one of the working CD server and that change had resolved the issue.

Sitecore XC 9.3 - Fix details in case if there is any issue while deleting the SXA site.

 Recently, I got an issue while deleting the site (SXA)



  Invoke-PreDeleteValidationStep : Cannot bind argument to parameter 'DefinitionItems' 
because it is null. At line:28 char:57 + ... $canRemove = Invoke-PreDeleteValidationStep 
$siteModules $SiteIt ... + ~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : InvalidData: (:) 
[Invoke-PreDeleteValidationStep], ParameterBindingValidationException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ParameterArgumentValidationErrorNullNotAllowed,Invoke-PreDeleteValidationStep  
I didn't find any solution or details on google, Finally, I clicked on add modules and remove one unwanted module and clicked yes, basically that process refreshed the site again.

After that, I was able to delete the site.



It's a small trick but that really saved my time, I hope that will help other community members.

Sitecore XC (9.3) - Fix for OOM command not allowed when used memory

 During the CD2 configuration for one of the environment, I got below error 

ERR Error running script (call to f_2cf3a5ca51adf9b3b3500002e73e176dc3c54e26): @user_script:2: @user_script: 2: -OOM command not allowed when used memory > 'maxmemory'.   

I took reference from these links

  1. https://ma.ttias.be/redis-oom-command-not-allowed-used-memory-maxmemory/
  2. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18430324/how-to-debug-the-error-oom-command-not-allowed-when-used-memory-maxmemory

After the investigation, I found this is because of the Redis cache memory issue, I have increased the size based on the analyzed load.

here are the steps to upload it -

# Redis configuration file example

# it in the usual form of 1k 5GB 4M and so forth:

# 1k => 1000 bytes

# 1kb => 1024 bytes

# 1m => 1000000 bytes

# 1mb => 1024*1024 bytes

# 1g => 1000000000 bytes

# 1gb => 1024*1024*1024 bytes

# units are case insensitive so 1GB 1Gb 1gB are all the same.

Navigate to the file C:\Program Files\Redis and update the value based on your analysis,

Sitecore 9.3 - Fix for SXA toolbox doesn't show in experience editor.

While working on SXA, you will always define the page design and partial design but in case if we need to add the placeholder key in the SXA layout, If we add the placeholder key before the 

@Html.Sxa().GridBody()

The application will not show the SXA components menu on the experience editor, to fix that we should keep this placeholder after the default placeholder.

Example - 



Sitecore XP 9.3 - Fix for Images are not showing in site only.

Recently, I got a request to check an urgent issue, the issue was that a few images in the page header and page content were not showing.

When I open that image in a new tab (through the direct URL) it didn't work but when I did the refresh on that Image in the same tab it shows the actual image, weird scenario yeah!!

I quickly check the request and response object of the site and individual tab (Only image link) and found a difference, While making a call from the website the request is sending the referee, As mentioned in the below screenshot.


Solution - the option is to remove the referrer for the particular page, I have added metadata and set the below value.

 <meta name="referrer" content ="no-referrer">  

that change resolve the issue,

We can also update the SXA layout for that


Note - this is a quick fix, but may create another issue of explicitly adding this tag, I will update in case of any further issue because of this change.

Happy Sitecore instance troubleshooting!!

Steps to update Sitecore SSL certificates (Sitecore XP 9.3)

It's a general requirement to update the security certificates for the website.

It's more enjoyable when we work on the Sitecore, consider multiple endpoints like CMS, xConnect, Identity servers and XC Roles. I again got a requirement to update the certificates and wanted to share this with the community so everyone can quickly do this without any issue or hurdles.

So let's get started the journey to update the certificate :) 

Steps  1 - Open the mmc.exe


 Ã€dd certification--> computer account


Install your certificate and you will see your certificate here-



Copy the thumbprint of the installed certificate 





Copy the thumbprint of the installed certificate and keep in a file.

Now, got to certificate and add all application pools identifier.




Make sure you enter the name in   IIS AppPool\App Pool identifier name format otherwise you wouldn't get the identifier.


Now, Search for the existing thumbprint on the site, You will find in below files.

  1. Identityserver\Config\production\Sitecore.IdentityServer.Host.xml
  2. CMsite\App_Config\ConnectionStrings.config
  3. xconnect\App_Config\AppSettings.config
  4. xconnect\App_Data\jobs\continuous\ProcessingEngine\App_Config\ConnectionStrings.config
  5. xconnect\App_Data\jobs\continuous\AutomationEngine\App_Config\ConnectionStrings.config

After replacing the file, got to IIS site and choose the correct certificate and restart the IIS.

that's it, It's very straightforward.

Troubleshooting - 

1. I got this error after updating the SSL certificate.

Fix for the Domain is null and Invalid or missing value for property.


 Recently, I have updated my local instance and while doing the new registration or login got the below error

The Domain is null and is probably not defined in Domain Manager

When I checked my domain configuration under site settings

/sitecore/content/Tenant/Sitecore/Settings/Site Grouping/Site

I found the reference of the domain didn't exist on my local system, I created a new domain through the admin panel here

After fixing that, during the registration, I got a diff error

 {  
  "IsSignupFlow": false,  
  "UserName": null,  
  "Errors": [  
   "An unknown error occurred. Please verify your entry and try again. If the problem persists, please contact your system administrator."  
  ],  
  "HasErrors": true,  
  "HasInfo": false,  
  "HasWarnings": false,  
  "Info": [  
  ],  
  "Success": false,  
  "Url": null,  
  "Warnings": [  
  ],  
  "ContentEncoding": null,  
  "ContentType": null,  
  "Data": null,  
  "JsonRequestBehavior": 1,  
  "MaxJsonLength": null,  
  "RecursionLimit": null  
 }  
I opened my session in a new incognito window and found below errors -

 {  
  "IsSignupFlow": false,  
  "UserName": null,  
  "Errors": [  
   "Invalid or missing value for property \u0027Domain\u0027."  
  ],  
  "HasErrors": true,  
  "HasInfo": false,  
  "HasWarnings": false,  
  "Info": [  
  ],  
  "Success": false,  
  "Url": null,  
  "Warnings": [  
  ],  
  "ContentEncoding": null,  
  "ContentType": null,  
  "Data": null,  
  "JsonRequestBehavior": 1,  
  "MaxJsonLength": null,  
  "RecursionLimit": null  
 }  
I updated the existing domain in site groping,  to see if it's working because, because I haven't added this domain in the commerce configuration .
 {  
  "IsSignupFlow": false,  
  "UserName": null,  
  "Errors": [  
   "Customer \u0027Storefront\\jitusonijk@gmail.com\u0027 already exists."  
  ],  
  "HasErrors": true,  
  "HasInfo": false,  
  "HasWarnings": false,  
  "Info": [  
  ],  
  "Success": false,  
  "Url": null,  
  "Warnings": [  
  ],  
  "ContentEncoding": null,  
  "ContentType": null,  
  "Data": null,  
  "JsonRequestBehavior": 1,  
  "MaxJsonLength": null,  
  "RecursionLimit": null  
 }  
So abve message is because I had the same user already registered, I did a new registration and it worked for me.

The issue/learning was - If you create a new domain configuration please make sure that we need to update the site groping and policies accordingly.
