NSP could be set up to use external login methods where user authentication is done in other external system. External login methods are configured and set up by the system administrator.
When you select External in the login form a list with available login methods is shown as in this example:
External login methods
Select one of the available options to continue the external login authentication. First step is to login in the external system. Enter e g user name, password and domain in login form.
When you use an external login method first time you must map the external account to a NSP user. You will get a choice to map the external login account to an existing NSP user or to register a new user in NSP.
External login methods
If you select New user you will be redirected to Register form, see section Register.
For Existing user a login form is shown where you must login to NSP with user name (email address) and password.
