Portal login via identity provider
Log in to an Intrexx portal via social networks
You can allow your users to access your Intrexx portal via social networks. In this case, your users can authenticate with the Intrexx portal using their Facebook or Google accounts.
Your advantage is that you do not need to manage login data for these users in Intrexx. (The user himself must have been created in Intrexx.) The user has the advantage that he can use the same access data that he uses for the social networks to log in to the Intrexx portal.
Log in to an Intrexx portal via identity providers
You can allow your users to access your Intrexx portal via identity providers (ID providers). ID providers offer a service that makes it easier for users to log in to various websites and applications. Users register with an ID provider and then they receive an ID. You can then use this ID to log in to all websites and applications that are registered with the corresponding ID provider.
ID providers are, for example, the companies verimi or okta.
Social networks also function as ID providers However, they also offer their original services.
Both social networks and (original) ID providers will be referred to as ID providers in the following.
