Custom LiveID Authentication

 

 

How can I achieve custom LiveID authentication (sign In Window) as created here http://www.connectdemos.com/shopping/

in mojoportal?

I want to create an application using mojoPortal where everything has to be done using LiveID, even admin should signIn using LiveID, default authentication system should be disabled.

 

How is this possible in mojo?

 

Regards,

Sachin

Re: Custom LiveID Authentication

Hi,

You can configure it to use only Windows Live for authentication, though we don't have a built in popup widget like the example page you linked to.

1. In Site Settings > Security > Windows Live enter you windows live app id and and key and check the box to enable windows live authentication.

2. Register a new user on your site using windows live and add him to administrators role so you don't get locked out once db authentication is disabled.

3. Check the box on Site Settings > Security > Main that says "Disable Database Authentication"

Note that if you change it without first creating an admin user that has an associated live id then you won't be able to login at all as admin after that without going into the database and re-enabling database authentication

Hope that helps,

Joe

Re: Custom LiveID Authentication

Thanks a lot Joe,

1. I tried what you have specified, but I am unable to test on my development PC may be that is a limitation from Microsoft side

as I cannot specify return url as "http://localhost:7551/Secure/WindowsLiveAuthHandler.aspx".

 

Just to confirm:

ApplicationID = ClientID

Live Key = Client Secret

Terminology is different in microsoft.

 

2. Can I develop custom LogIn Control (Feature) and replace it with existing (or disable that Control/Feature)?

Any help in this direction would be appreciated?

Thanks & Regards,

Sachin
