SmartV Authentication – Sign In using Google

Business Background

“Sign In using Google” is an authentication method that allows users to access third-party websites or applications with their Google account credentials. Instead of creating a new username and password, users can simply log in with their existing Google account, making the sign-in process faster and more convenient.

Titan Solution

“Sign In using Google” is a convenient feature integrated into Titan’s SmartV functionality. It allows users to log in to Titan projects with their Google account credentials. This feature offers several advantages:

1. Simplified Login Experience: Users can access Titan projects with just a few clicks using their existing Google account, eliminating the need to create and remember another set of login credentials.
2. Enhanced Security: Google’s authentication mechanism adds an extra layer of security through robust authentication protocols and Google’s account protection features.
3. Single Sign-On (SSO) Capability: If users are already logged into their Google account, they can seamlessly access Titan projects without entering credentials again, streamlining the login process.
4. Trust and Familiarity: Many users trust Google’s authentication system due to its widespread use and familiarity, which enhances user confidence and adoption.

How to Guide

You must do the following:

• Configure Google People API
• Configure SmartV in Titan Web

Configure Google People API

1. Create or open the project to which you will add the SmartV. You will copy and paste the project URL into the Google People API’s Authorized redirect URI field.
2. Make sure that you have a custom alphanumeric field on the Salesforce object where the Google Identity will be stored.
   • This field will be populated with each user’s Google ID so SmartV can uniquely identify users accessing the Titan Web project.
   • When the SmartV Registration Page is enabled, Titan creates a new Salesforce contact using the user’s email. Registration will fail if a contact with the same email already exists in Salesforce.
