RE: Activate external customer authentication

Hi,

This is pretty old stuff, but all you need to do is create a SOAP endpoint with the following WSDL which will receive a username and password and then return true or false. I believe it should be soap version 1.1, and I think Visual Studio has the possibility of implementing a SOAP service based on a WSDL.

RE: Activate external customer authentication

Does this mean that the crm7.user_candidate table isn't used at all? Or is this an authentication which is done in addition to the normal customer centre login?

If the third party authentication service only returns true, how does Service know WHO the user is?

RE: Activate external customer authentication

* Is this functionality available in Online?
* Is there anybody that have actual experience of doing an implementation?
* Is there any complementary documentation available in any way? :)

RE: Activate external customer authentication

The CS SOAP endpoints are officially not supported in Online, but are functional since they are used by Maillink to create tickets etc. The external customer authentication feature is not available at all in Online. (see OnSite label on the help index page)
