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 itself must have been created in Intrexx.) The users' advantage is that they can use the same login data for both the social networks and 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. Afterwards, this ID can be used to log in to all websites and applications that are registered with the corresponding ID provider.
The companies verimi and okta are examples of ID providers.
Social networks also function as ID providers but they provide their original services beyond this.
Both social networks and (original) ID providers will be referred to as ID providers in the following.
