We are trying to serve hidden content in AEM from logged in users using AEM. This is currently not our customer facing problem at the moment, I want to understand how the flow works. But, say we have some users (over 500,000k) users and the list keeps growing.
We have 2 ideas to get this working as expected.
Micro-Service.
1. For new registers, we will have a form which will add a new user into the database based on the Micro-Service.
2. The Micro-Service will deal with the authentication parts. The customer will attempt to login on the AEM website like Mcdonalds.com; the customer will fill in their username and password, and the hit enter. The micro-service will return a JSON Web Token, with their basic information and authentication token. Once we get a 200OK response from the server, we will make another call to an AEM servlet to authenticate into a common user of AEM. For example this is the "Basic" user. And from there, navigating through the AEM website, they should see Closed User Group Content of the "Basic" user.
AEM Publisher
1. New users registering will be added into AEM's tools > security > users with an AEM backend sightly... and then it will be reverse-replicated back to the author, where it will then replicate the node into all the other publishers.
2. Users will login using AEMaaCS's out of the box AEM's login features. Once logged in, they are navigate through the website. For example all users will be added into the "Basic" user group. And from there, navigating through the AEM website, they should see Closed User Group Content of the "Basic" user.
@aanchal_sikka @arunpatidar @EstebanBustamante @Jörg_Hoh @Rohan_Garg @BrianKasingli @sravs @TarunKumar , do you have any suggestions or experiences with enabling hidden content (closed user groups), to over 1 million authenticated users, because I know it's probably not a good idea for option 2, AEM Publisher.
