Setting Up Authentication for Open ID

1.From the Configuration Console, click Configure > Security Controls > Authentication Providers to open the Authentication Providers workspace.

2.From the New Record Menu drop-down list, select New Open ID.

3.Enter data into the fields.

Field	Description
Default	Specifies if this authentication provider is called. Automatically set by the system. You change this in the list. To make this authentication provider the default, you must first change the default setting for all other authentication providers to false and then change the default setting for this authentication provider to true.
Disabled	Specifies if this authentication provider is disabled.
Name	The name of the Open ID provider.
Open ID Provider URL	The Open ID URL from the provider. For example, the Open ID URL for Google is https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id.
Logout URL	The URL to which users are directed when logging out of the authentication provider.
Sort Order	Specifies the sort order of this provider in relation to other providers assigned to a user. A value of 1 means that this provider is used first for authentication when logging in. If a login failure occurs (such as a server failure or incorrect password), the system uses the next provider in the sort order. The last successfully authenticated login is highlighted in the Enable External Auth area of the employee record. Use this field only if multiple authentication providers are configured. NOTE: Do not put the Open ID authentication first in a sort order for multiple authentication providers because the system does not sequence single sign-on logins. Only one is allowed. If the login attempt fails with the Open ID authentication, there is no fallback.
Auto Provisioning	Adds new users via authentication. You have the option to auto provision the role, status, and team for the new user. If selected, the system creates an employee record if a user logs in using authentication and does not already have an employee record. The employee record created shows the Is Auto Provisioned box checked and the Creation Method field has Auto Provisioned through OpenID by default.
Auto Provision Role	Only displays if you check Auto Provisioning. The role associated with the new user.
Auto Provision Status	Only displays if you check Auto Provisioning. The status of the new user.
Auto Provision Team	Only displays if you check Auto Provisioning. The team associated with the new user.
Auto Provision User Business Object	Only displays if you check Auto Provisioning. The type of user record to create. Can be either employee or external contact.
