Best ways to user management in AEM

[GK-AEM]

Hi All,

We have requirement that user is authenticated authorization done with a some third part system.The third party system in turn returns token to AEM.

Is there a better to maintain and read from cookie and maintain user session?

Thanks,

Kishore

Configure third party system to pass additional cookie to say user is authenticates & at aem configure handler accordingly. More details at [1]. If you need some additional logic then implement authentication handler.  Additional please go through Justin Edelson presentation on how aem authentication works at [2].
