Custom Login Page - Advanced Option in Colorblock Layout

Custom Login Page offers three templates that can be customized according to an organization's login requirements and branding: Background, Classic, and Colorblock.

Previously, only the Background and Classic layouts included an Advanced Option section to support single sign-on (SSO) and self-registration links. Colorblock layout did not support adding an SSO or self-registration link.

With this enhancement, the Advanced Option section is included in the Colorblock layout to allow customers to add an SSO link as well as a Self Registration link when creating new custom login pages. Text, link text, and color can be customized for these SSO and Self Registration links.

Single Sign-On (SSO)

Single sign-on allows the Cornerstone system to authenticate users into the portal upon their request to access the system. This affords users access to the system without having to log in once the user has been authenticated using their company login or local access network (LAN) password.

  • Enable SSO - Select this checkbox to enable an SSO Login link on the login page.
  • SSO Text - In this field, enter the text that should appear before the SSO Login link.
  • SSO Text Color - Select the text color for the text that appears before the SSO Login link. You can enter the Hex value in the text field or select the color box to enter RGBA values, Hex values, or manually select a color from the color palate.
  • SSO Link Text - In this field, enter the text for the SSO Login link.
  • SSO Link Text Color - Select the text color for the SSO Login link text. You can enter the Hex value in the text field or select the color box to enter RGBA values, Hex values, or manually select a color from the color palate.
  • SSO Link - In this field, enter the inbound SSO URL for the portal. This is also known as the CSOD ACS URL.

Self Registration

Self-Registration functionality allows administrators to manage new users coming into the system via pre-defined groups. By sending them to a special URL and assigning the users a code, users will be assigned to a group when they register through the Self-Registration page. Each group can then have parameters set which will determine how that user will be classified and managed within the system.

  • Enable Self Reg - Select this checkbox to enable a Self Registration link on the login page.
  • Self Reg Text - In this field, enter the text that should appear before the Self Reg link.
  • Self Reg Text Color - Select the text color for the text that appears before the Self Reg link. You can enter the Hex value in the text field or select the color box to enter RGBA values, Hex values, or manually select a color from the color palate.
  • Self Reg Link Text - In this field, enter the text for the Self Reg link.
  • Self Reg Link Text Color - Select the text color for the Self Reg link text. You can enter the Hex value in the text field or select the color box to enter RGBA values, Hex values, or manually select a color from the color palate.
  • Self Reg Link - In this field, enter the Self Registration URL for the portal. This URL can be found on the Guest User Settings tab when managing the corresponding Self Registration Group.

How Does this Enhancement Benefit My Organization?

This enhancement provides the ability to add and customize a single sign-on (SSO) link and self-registration link in the Custom Login Page Colorblock layout.
