Create user in Lithium without username

Hi,

 

We are using a SSO system where in we do not have username. So few things needs to be cleared which are as follow.

 

We found documentation in Lithium regarding SSO:

https://community.lithium.com/t5/Single-Sign-On-SSO/How-does-auto-signin-work/ta-p/41030

 

In this link, it says it needs uniqueID parameter, login (display name) parameter, email parameter for user creation. We also have a point as below:

  • If your system is not currently capturing a display name or profile name for the community user, Lithium can configure your community to direct users to a profile set-up page where the user will create a login (display name). However, you still need to pass any character (for example, a single space) in the login parameter. Lithium will then ignore this value since the user will be asked to choose a login. Ask your Launch success Customer Management to set this up for you.

We need to know more about the above point. We also need to understand the exact flow of this and update the username once user is auto-logged in without username in Lithium

 

Thanks!

    vivek - Yes, there are a few communities which have this implemented. When you register on these communities via SSO, they don't ask you to create a username on Lithium community, instead, they have their own random username created. In this case, it is not used as a unique identifier, but the user ID is because that is something which remains unique in all the cases. You may want to get in touch with your account manager for more details on this implementation. 

     

    I hope this helps.
