Creating a form user registration to Private (logged) Area vs Public (anonymous) content

[marande]

Hello Beautiful AEM Community,

How are you?

First of all, really sorry for the inconvenience but I have a problem to solve:

- I need to create a Website with Private Area + Public Area.

• The first step to access the private area is a registration form for external users.
• After a user confirmation email created, this user has a user/jcr account (maybe?) to access the AEM instance on the Site Private Area.
• The Public Area don't have any special requirement. You can access it as anonymous user.

What is the AEM best approach to do that?

TBH: - I really want to use the AEM users capabilities, so I don't want to create from scratch any authentication mechanism.

Additional info: - I already work with Liferay DX Custom Users Form regstration, same to the HCL DX local user table. This both DX Platform already have a kind of local user table to loggin to the portal, but I can't found any similar solution for AEM 6.5.

Please could someone help me?

Version: AEMaaMS (6.5)

Best regards,

Marande

Hi @marande 

• The first step to access the private area is a registration form for external users. The content can be restricted in AEM using Closed User Group(CUG) . A form component(or AEM core form component) can be create in AEM to register user and store user information in AEM Publish and sync that to other publish instances
• After a user confirmation email created, this user has a user/jcr account (maybe?) to access the AEM instance on the Site Private Area. An Email can be send using AEM Email services or custom Email e.g. https://aemlab.blogspot.com/2019/06/aem-custom-templated-email.html and once user confirmation is done, user will be added to the CUG Group(which has restricted content access) 
• The Public Area don't have any special requirement. You can access it as anonymous user. This will work as it is if you don't add any CUG groups
