The Customer Portal supports three types of authentications:
basic, with user(email) and password
Single-Sign-On with OpenID Connect
with token from email link
The sign-in page handles the first two authentication types.
Basic authentication
Account creation.
Customers can create accounts using an email address. On the Sign in page there is a link to the Sign up form.
Signing in
Single-Sign-On with OpenID Connect
The Customer Portal offers single-sign-on with OpenID Connect.
OpenID Connect provides a way to authenticate users and obtain their consent for accessing their identity information. It extends OAuth 2.0 to include an identity layer.
OpenID Connect is widely adopted and plays a crucial role in modern authentication and authorization scenarios, especially in the context of single sign-on across multiple applications and services.
The list of OpenID authentication options is composed basing on the content of the control table. The table is set up in the VSS->Service-> Service Resource Scheduling->Customer Portal->Authentication->Maintain OpenID Identity Providers Configuration IMG node.
