Open Authentication possible on non-Convio pages?

Cara ONeil · January 2014

In the documentation for Open Authentication, the following phrase is repeated:

Note: The social sites selected apply for your entire Convio-powered site.

To enable Open Authentication and configure the settings for it on your Convio-powered web site:

Must we be using webpages hosted by Convio in order for Open Auth to work for our constituents? Where exactly will the Open Auth login option appear--in TeamRaiser or only on Convio-built pages?

We build informational pages on our own website and would like the login option to appear there, if possible. From those pages, we link to TeamRaiser pages for registration; team search; etc. The Convio login is an annual problem for our constituents and we hope this would make it easier for them.

This is the first year we will (hopefully) enable Open Auth for our annual TR event. We're not quite ready to build and test out a new TR yet, but I am trying to determine 1. if the Open Auth login is possible on our self-hosted pages, and/or 2. if the Open Auth login will appear in the TR pages for registration.

In short, I have configured all the necessary components with Gigya and Convio, but am not sure where the Open Auth login will appear or how to tell if it is working right now.

Cara,

The OA configured in your Luminate system will only work on Luminate pages. The only way I've seen orgs work with OA when they have web pages on a non-Luminate site is by just having a link to a login page which is a Luminate page.

As for TeamRaiser use... As long as you have the OA login/registration on a TeamRaiser page (or Pagebuilder embedded in TR greeting page) then yes, you can use it. OA can be used anywhere throughout Luminate Online and TeamRaiser.

Hope this helps,

Kent

SingleSignOn API can't do it?

I'm not sure with OA. Have you seen the SSO API used with OA? I bet someone has done it somehow but that's above my knowledge level. lol

No I haven't, but I haven't fooled with OA yet.

Looking through our TR from last year, I was able to see the now-activated OA on those pages when I re-opened that TR for registrations. Are there any known issues with OA not functioning correctly in particular browsers? Would be good to know before we create our new TR and open registration to the public.

I'll look into Single Sign-on as well--OA was recommended first as a quick and easy-to-set-up option for TR.
