Login

Form login and reCAPTCHA

Enable this login if you want to allow users to use the username and password-based login.

Google reCAPTCHA is a security service provided by Google to prevent non-human access to the sites.

It asks the user to decipher an image or any other methods to know whether the user is a human.

Social logins

Social logins like Google, Twitter, Facebook, and Microsoft are also available. This enables the user to access the site with any of the above-mentioned accounts. This reduces a lot of time and people prefer to log in through those platforms since it is not necessary that the user must remember a new password to be set for the new account, instead of the existing account on the platforms would be sufficient to log in.

Single sign-on

Single sign-on is the securely authenticating method. If your company already has a single sign-on, then it can be configured here.

There are two different methods available,

  1. OAuth 2.0 and
  2. Open ID Connect.

OAUTH 2.0

It is a protocol that allows user to access their resources or grant third-party sites access without exposing the credentials.

Open ID connect

It is similar to OAuth 2.0, which allows users to access several websites with a common identity.

Security

Under security, there are two categories available, general settings and password policy.

In general settings, the end-user can register an account from the customer portal. Enabling this option allows the user to register an account and submit a ticket from the customer portal.

In password policy, two options are available, default and custom. The default policies are predefined, whereas custom policies can be altered. The custom policies have rules that can be selected or unselected depending upon the needs, which include a maximum count of the password characters, password expiry, etc.

Note : The password policy is applicable only when a form login is enabled.

Accessing customer portal settings

To access the customer portal settings, the user should enable the Manage settings permission in the roles and permissions section.
