Enable Opti ID
Opti ID provides a unified identity and access management solution across Optimizely products, including Optimizely Configured Commerce. This guide outlines how to enable Opti ID for your Configured Commerce instance.
Note
Opti ID is only for users of Optimizely products.
Azure AD B2C single sign-on is supported on .NET Core storefronts. The authentication handler resolves the emails claim that Azure AD B2C provides, enabling SSO for storefronts running on the .NET Core code path.
No additional configuration is required beyond standard Azure AD B2C setup in the Opti ID Admin Center.
New Configured Commerce instances
Optimizely automatically configures new Configured Commerce instances with Opti ID. You do not need to activate Opti ID for these instances.
Live Configured Commerce instances
If you have an existing Configured Commerce instance and want to migrate to Opti ID, follow these steps.
Complete the initial login
- When Optimizely creates your Opti ID organization, it automatically designates the technical contact specified in your contract as the organization administrator for Opti ID. This user receives the initial login credentials.
The technical contact must complete their initial login to activate the Opti ID organization. This step is foundational for subsequent Opti ID configurations. See Initial technical contact loginInitial technical contact login for information.
Configure single sign-on
You or your partner can configure single sign-on (SSO) using your preferred approach. Opti ID supports various SSO configurations to streamline user access. SeeGet started with Opti ID for information.
Enable your environment for Opti ID
- Log in to the Opti ID Admin Center.
- Go to Products > Configured Commerce.
- Select the instance for which you want to enable Opti ID.
- Go to the Details tab and click Edit.
- Select Opti ID Enabled. A warning displays that you cannot reverse this action. Click Proceed.
Selecting Opti ID Enabled prepares your Configured Commerce environment but does not change authentication on your site. Authentication switches to Opti ID only after you redeploy your environment.
To test before deploying to production, enable Opti ID on a non-production instance. You cannot reverse this action after confirming. Only enable Opti ID on instances where you intend to use it.
- Click Save.
When Opti ID is configured as the Admin Console authentication provider, users who launch the CMS editor for another website in a multisite installation are not prompted to sign in again. This behavior is supported in both .NET 4.8 and .NET 8 deployments.
Redeploy your environment
To finalize enabling Opti ID, you must redeploy your environment.
Manage users and role assignments
You or your partner can import users into Opti ID. You should also review existing permissions in Configured Commerce and assign the same roles in the Admin Center. See Manage users and Configured Commerce roles for information.
Add domains to the allow list (Product Recommendations)
If you use Optimizely Product Recommendations, you must add your vanity and templated domains to the allow list in Product Recommendations so Configured Commerce admin users can validate recommendations in the CMS. See Configure tracking in the Product Recommendations portal
