The Public Sign In Configuration controls how public users enter your public-facing application. You connect the Public Sign In Configuration to other public-facing configurations such as Exhibitor Service Center, Exhibitor Portal or Session Proposals.
Public Sign In Configurations that allow for Sign In only (Allow Sign In is checked and Allow Sign Up is unchecked) are used for internal or limited access public-facing applications where accounts that already exist in the database can log in.
Public Sign In Configurations that allow for Sign Up are open access public-facing applications. This allows people to sign up with an email address and create a password to log into public-facing applications. The account is created in the database.
Add a Public Sign In Configuration
To create a new Public Sign In Configuration:
- Click the Public Sign In Configurations link from the Main Menu. The Public Sign In Configurations page opens.
- Click the Add button. The Add Public Sign In Configuration window opens.
- Enter the name of the Public Sign In Configuration in the Description field.
- Configure the options for the Public Sign In Configuration:
- Allow Sign In - If checked, existing accounts can sign in. An existing account is an account that is already in the database and has the Internet Logon box checked, a password and an email address.
- Enable Password Recovery - If Allow Sign In is checked and Enable Password Recovery is checked, a Forgot Password link is available on the sign in screen.
- Password Recovery Email Template - Select the email template to send when someone clicks the Forgot Password link.
- From Email Address - Email address used to send the password recovery email.
- Allow Sign Up - If checked, accounts that do not exist in the database can sign up and then log into public-facing applications. The information collected as part of the account creation process (Name, Title, Address, etc.) is set up in each of the public-facing application configuration screens, not within the Public Sign In Configuration.
- Allow New Account With Same Email - If checked, more than one account is allowed with the same email address. This potentially allows duplicate accounts (same user creates two accounts with the same email address) and all the people using that email address to log in have full visibility to the account information. This is often necessary when multiple people share the same department email address.
- Public Password Scheme - Select the password scheme to use when passwords are created or reset. This is an optional setting and may need to be added to the window layout. If blank, the password requirements for Public Sign In Configurations default to match existing organization, site configuration, or system settings.
- Click OK.
Edit a Public Sign In Configuration
You can change the settings for a Public Sign In Configuration after you have already created it. When you change the settings of a Public Sign In Configuration, the changes are applied to all public-facing applications using the Public Sign In Configuration. If you don't want to update the existing public-facing applications, then you must add a new Public Sign In Configuration using the steps in the Add a Public Sign In Configuration section.
- Click the Public Sign In Configurations link from the Main Menu. The Public Sign In Configurations page opens.
- Right-click on the Public Sign In Configuration you want to change.
- Select Edit. The Edit Public Sign In Configuration window opens.
- Edit the necessary information.
- Click OK.
Delete a Public Sign In Configuration
If you no longer use a Public Sign In Configuration and don't want to keep a record of it, you can delete it. When you delete a Public Sign In Configuration, it is removed from any public-facing application configurations. This cannot be undone.
- Click the Public Sign In Configurations link from the Main Menu. The Public Sign In Configurations page opens.
- Right-click on the Public Sign In Configuration you want to delete.
- Select Mark for Delete.
- Click Save.
