Configuring an External Authentication Provider

You can configure ConnectLive to use an external authentication provider to authenticate ConnectLive users. You can enable this by setting the following properties in the <Authentication> element of the Deploymentinfo.xml file:
  • url - The URL of the external authentication provider.
  • showExternalLogin - Set this property to true, to enable external authentication.
  • saveCookies - Setting this to true, enables ConnectLive to use the cookies for subsequent authentication with the external provider, until the cookies expire.

As an example, see the following sample configuration:

<Authentication url="https://crmtest.com/UpdateCRM_web" 
                showExternalLogin="true" 
                saveCookies="true" 
                sendNtlmCredentials="false" 
                sso="true"/>
