Visitor account management
Set up visitor account management in User Generated Content as a standalone feature, integrated with Audience Manager, or integrated with an external system.
User Generated Content ships with two sample Web pages, an ASP.NET page and a JSP page, demonstrating how to interact with User Generated Content for identification and authentication of users. In this sample content, the comment is submitted along with a user name and e-mail address supplied by the user.
You can find this sample content on the installation media in the folder Content Delivery\resources\samples\ugc\, subfolder java\ or dotnet\ .
| Type of setup | Description |
|---|---|

| Integrated with Audience Manager | If Audience Manager is set up for your SDL Tridion Sites installation, you can integrate with its Contacts. |
| Integrated with an external system | This option requires you to handle the identification of visitors through your external system, and supply the unique external ID associated with a visitor account in that system to the User Generated Content database. |
