Authentication

The template includes an Auth page pack when PagePack=full. Routes:

• /auth/login
• /auth/register
• /auth/forgot-password
• /auth/reset-password

These pages use AuthPageShell and are marketing UI scaffolds — they provide layout and placeholder flows for sign-in/sign-up experiences on a public marketing site. They are not an identity provider or token issuance service.

Important distinctions

• Not a replacement for ConnectSoft.IdentityTemplate or ConnectSoft.AuthorizationServerTemplate.
• Auth routes are excluded from sitemap.xml and disallowed in robots.txt.
• For production authentication, integrate with your organization's IdP (Entra ID, Auth0, etc.) and replace scaffold pages with real OIDC/OAuth2 flows.

Backend alignment

Pair marketing sites that need real user accounts with ConnectSoft.IdentityTemplate / Authorization Server templates for token issuance and API authorization. The marketing site typically links to a separate portal or self-service app rather than hosting identity logic.
