<div class="paragraph">
<p>The <a href="about.html" class="page">Wicket viewer</a> defines a relatively small number of pages (by which we mean subclasses of <code>org.apache.wicket.markup.html.WebPage</code>):</p>
</div>
<div class="ulist">
<ul>
<li>
<p>about page</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>entity page</p>

</li>
<li>
<p>value page</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>void return page</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>All of these (except about page) are annotated with the Wicket annotation:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre class="highlightjs highlight"><code class="language-java hljs" data-lang="java">@AuthorizeInstantiation("org.apache.isis.viewer.wicket.roles.USER")</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>which means that they can only be accessed by a user with an authenticated session that has this special, reserved role.
If not, Wicket will automatically redirect the user to the sign-in page.</p>
</div>
<div class="admonitionblock tip">
<table>
<tr>
<td class="icon">
<i class="fa icon-tip" title="Tip"></i>
</td>
<td class="content">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The sign-in page to render is pluggable; see <a href="extending.html#custom-pages" class="page">extensions chapter</a> for details.</p>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>In the sign-in page the viewer calls to the Isis Authenticator API, and obtains back a user/role.
It also adds in its special reserved role (per the annotation above) and then continues on to whichever page the user was attempting to access (usually the home page).</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>And that&#8217;s really all there is to it.
When the viewer renders a domain object it queries the Apache Isis metamodel, and suppresses from the view any object members (properties, actions etc) that are invisible.
These may be invisible because the user has no (read ) permission, or they may be invisible because of domain object logic (eg a <code>hideXxx()</code> method).
The viewer neither knows nor cares.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Similarly, for those object members that <em>are</em> visible, the viewer also checks if they are enabled or disabled.
Again, an object member will be disabled if the user does not have (write) permission, or it could be disabled because of domain object logic (eg a <code>disableXxx()</code> method).</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect1">
<h2 id="user-registration"><a class="anchor" href="#user-registration"></a>User-registration</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>As well as providing a sign-in screen, the Wicket viewer also provides the ability for users to self-register.
By and large this operates outside of Apache Isis' security mechanisms; indeed the various pages (sign-up, sign-up verification, password reset) are all rendered <em>without</em> there being any current user session.
These pages all "reach inside" Apache Isis framework using a mechanism similar to <a href="../../userguide/2.0.0-M3/btb/headless-access.html" class="page">Headless access</a> in order to actually do their stuff.</p>
</div>
<div class="admonitionblock tip">
<table>
<tr>
<td class="icon">
<i class="fa icon-tip" title="Tip"></i>
</td>
<td class="content">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The sign-in verification page to render is pluggable; see <a href="extending.html#custom-pages" class="page">extensions chapter</a> for details.</p>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>User registration is only available if the <a href="../../refguide/2.0.0-M3/applib-svc/UserRegistrationService.html" class="page"><code>UserRegistrationService</code></a> is configured; this is used by the framework to actually create new instances of the user as accessed by the corresponding (Shiro) realm.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Because Shiro realms are pluggable, the Apache Isis framework does not provide default implementations of this service.
However, if you are using the <a href="../../security/2.0.0-M3/about.html" class="page">SecMan extension</a>, then this module <em>does</em> provide an implementation (that, as you might expect, creates new "user" domain entities).</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>And, if you are using the <a href="#security:realm-ldap:about.adoc" class="page unresolved">LDAP realm</a> and want to enable user-self registration then you&#8217;ll need to write your own implementation of this service.</p>
