Magnolia's Public User Registration module allows users to register an account on the public site. This page explains how to use the module to set up public user registration and protected pages that are available only to users who have registered and logged in.

The tutorial takes you through the process of:

• Setting up pages containing the components provided by the module 
• Restricting access to certain pages to registered users only.

...

The Public User Registration module includes all the necessary components to implement PUR on your site.

You can make the components available on any  page template . The components will be used on Creatingpages for registration, login and related PUR tasks. 

The Travel demo's Public Users template makes the components available in main area of the page. The example uses this template. See Area definition for more.

1. Open the restricted content page logged in as superuser and then log out by adding the ?mgnlLogout=true parameter to the URL. The restricted content disappears and the page redirects to the login form page configured in the Addingaclientcallbacktothesecurityfilter.  
      
2.  Click Register in the login form, register a dummy account (using a valid email address) and then login with the new credentials. The protected page (set in the AddingPURcomponents) opens.  
      
3. Log out as the new user, click Forgotten password in the login form and enter the dummy account username and email. The link in the password reminder email opens the password reset form page (set in passwordRetrievalStrategy ConfiguringthePURmodule) where you can choose a new password.
        
4. Log in to admincentral and launch the Security app to verify that the dummy user is assigned to the group defined in the defaultRoles ConfiguringthePURmodule.
