Hello,

For my work I'm creating a registration system in order to give users an encrypted key that will work with our software. We want to have a registration system and a creation and renewal system for encrypted keys.

To do that i need :
1) A registration system for users with customised informations
2) A Validation link for the registration
3) A page that allow the user to consult/modify his data
4) A form to demand a new key or a renewed one

I've got some problem, can you help me :
- I'm new in developing in Silverstripe (but I'm an experienced developer)
- I've already seen how to custom pages and templates, but I'm am wondering how to do what I want :
- Do I need to use the User system of Silverstripe and how to, or is it possible to have my own User management sytem not related with Silverstripe users ( i would prefer)
- For the generation of the key I've got a Java class. Is it possible to use it when i submit a custom form.

Thanks.

Configuration :
Silverstripe 2.2.3
Serveur LAMP

I've created all my pages and a loggin system with the Session::get et Session::set functions.
I need now to call my java class to generate the key do anyone know how to do it ? I've heard about REST is it appropriate in this case ?
I also need to have a dynamic form (a part of the form that hide itself if an item is checked), i've thougt of putting some javascript in the template file. But is there a cleaner way to do it ?

For those who want to know, my application now works perfectly.

I've use my own page type by using the sapphire framework and put a loggin system over my site by using the Session::set() and Session::get() system. And for my java class who generate the keys, i have used an exec command on a jar i put on the server.

Thanks pbertrand. Did you end up using the Silverstripe user system or did you do your own user management?

I used my own user management. I don't know if it is the best way to do it, but with my own system the users who register don't have access to the admin part of silverstripe. And I can also make pages who can be seen only by our members (like the administration pages for example a page which shows all the registered users and how many key they have asked).
