User Synchronization of Profiles under /content

We planned to use this document https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-2/administer/security/security/sync.html to configure user sync on two 6.2 publish instances.  It seems though that user profiles would have to be located under /home in order to be synchronized. Our requirement is to synchronize profiles that are of the type cq:page under a path such as /content/<sitename>/profiles/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/00000001_profile.  Is this possible through the user sync functionality?  Prior to 6.2 we had utilized reverse replication to accomplish this.  Do we need to configure 6.2 in the same manner?

 

Thank you

Hi joeobar,

User Synchronization of Profiles under /content is not possible through Sling Distribution.

Only, data under /home/users and /home/groups can be used for employing Sling Distribution.

If your requirement is to sync data under /content use MongoDB as SRP.

Use the below link for SRP:

Hi,

"Prior to 6.2 we had utilized reverse replication to accomplish this.  Do we need to configure 6.2 in the same manner?"

I believe the answer is 'yes' - replication is still used for content under /content.

User sync is an implementation of Sling Distribution for /home/users and /home/groups.
