Custom Authentication Handler on AEMaaCS

Avatar

Community Advisor and Adobe Champion

Hi,

 

I don't need to know how to implement the handler, I just have a doubt about whether it is valid to implement a custom Authentication handler in AEMaaCS? Beyond the feasibility (technology-wise), is permitted by Adobe? or can be some security reasons why Adobe won't allow/recommend the usage of this feature in the cloud?

 

Thanks in advance

Hi @EstebanBustamante ,

 

First of all checkout this thread on how to implement custom authentication handler in AEMaaCS.

https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/adobe-experience-manager/how-to-create-custom-authe...

 

Second lets talk about your doubt on whether it is valid to implement.

Implementing a custom authentication handler in AEM as a Cloud Service is technically feasible, and Adobe allows the customization of authentication in the cloud environment. However, it is important to consider security aspects and follow best practices when implementing custom authentication handlers.

Adobe provides guidelines and recommendations for implementing custom authentication in AEM as a Cloud Service. You can refer to the Adobe documentation.

Before implementing a custom authentication handler, it is advisable to thoroughly assess your requirements, evaluate the potential security implications, and engage with Adobe Support or your Adobe Customer Success Manager to ensure compliance with the recommended practices and to address any specific concerns or questions you may have.
