[Raghava_Joijode]

Hi All,

I need to authenticate the users to access my website in aem, what is the simple and best way to implement?

Thanks,
Raghava.

Hi Raghava,

You can track the all the users in access.log who logged in to the website in AEM.

Is there any other way that you are trying to implement other than access.log?

Hi Ratna,

I do not want to see the users accessing, I need to authenticate them before showing them the content of my site.

Hi,

Hope this thread may help you:

it talks about authenticate anonymous user on publish instance.

Yes, As prince suggested the link ,Closed user group is the best option to Authenticate the users to the site.

Hi, 

You can use OOTB authentication handler. It is simple to implement.

Here is the helpx for it

       Thanks for the solution, Does this OOTB authentication handler help even if the pages are responded from webserver.

Watch this Ask the AEM Comunity Experts session:

Link to ATCE is in table at start!

AEM functions the same no matter what app server is running it. For example, it will handle authentication the same way regardless if its running on WebSphere or WebLogic or other supported platforms.
