Implement single sign on for AMP

Single sign-on (SSO) enables your registered users to participate in members-only conversations without an extra registration. Currently, OpenWeb does not support SSO for AMP pages directly. As an alternative, you can implement a read-only Conversation on your AMP pages and redirect your users to a non-AMP mobile page. On the non-AMP mobile page, your users can sign in and then participate in the Conversation.

Similar to OpenWeb's standard SSO and third-party SSO implementations, your backend user management system must securely inform OpenWeb that a user is actively logged into your site.

Implementation

1. Locate the source code of the Conversation iframe in the AMP code provided by your OpenWeb PSMPSM - Partner Success Manager.
   
   In the following simplified example, https://amp.spot.im/production.html?spot_im_highlight_immediate=true&redirect=true&spotId=SPOT_ID&postId=POST_ID is the Conversation source code.

<amp-iframe
  width="375"
  height="350"
  resizable
  sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-top-navigation"
  layout="responsive"
  frameborder="0"
  src="https://amp.spot.im/production.html?spot_im_highlight_immediate=true&redirect=true&spotId=SPOT_ID&postId=POST_ID"
>

📘

TIP

You can search for postID in the AMP code to locate the Conversation iframe.

2. Modify the Conversation source URL:
      • Remove redirect=true.
      • Append inactive=true.
      • Append data-post-url='https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ENCODED-ARTICLE-URL.com'.

✅

IMPORTANT

Using a data-post-url with any of the following characteristics may lead your users to a broken or incorrect link after clicking on the Conversation:

   • Contains unencoded characters in the URL
   • Leads to a page that does not have a Conversation on it

<amp-iframe
  width="375"
  height="815"
  resizable
  sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-top-navigation"
  layout="responsive"
  frameborder="0"
  src="https://amp.spot.im/production.html?spot_im_highlight_immediate=true&spotId=SPOT_ID&postId=POST_ID&inactive=true&data-post-url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ENCODED-ARTICLE-URL.com"

3. On your non-AMP page, implement OpenWeb's standard SSO and third-party SSO.
