Sign-In Touchpoint
- Applies to:
- MindTouch (current)
- Role required:
- Admin
Allow users to authenticate from any of your web properties or applications in order to navigate permissioned content from your site.
If any of your content requires authentication to access it, use the Sign-In Touchpoint in conjunction with the Search Touchpoint, Search-In-Place Touchpoint, or Customer Insights Touchpoint to extend your content into other web properties.
User Experience
- Anonymous users (users who are not signed in to your Expert site) encounter the sign-in button to your Expert site on your web property or in your application.
- When users click the sign-in button, a new browser window opens and the user is prompted to sign in to your Expert site. User credentials may auto-populate if the user information was previously cached.
- After the user clicks Sign in, the page redirects to the page designated during your Touchpoint configuration (your homepage, by default).
- On your web property or in your application, the sign-in Touchpoint automatically updates to show that the user is now signed in.
