Authentication nodes

Username Collector node

Not supported in Advanced Identity Cloud

The Username Collector node prompts the user for their username.

Example

This simple login journey demonstrates the Username Collector node.

Simple login journey

a The Username Collector node node prompts the user to enter their username.

b The Password Collector node node prompts the user to enter their password.

c The Data Store Decision node locates the user in the backend identity store and determines if the credentials are correct:

  • If the credentials are correct, the journey follows the succcess outcome and the user is authenticated.

  • If the credentials aren’t correct, the node directs the user to the Retry Limit Decision node.

d The Retry Limit Decision node determines how many times the user has attempted these credentials:

  • If the number of attempts doesn’t exceed the maximum, the user is redirected to the Username Collector node to attempt their credentials again.

  • If the number of attempts exceeds the maximum, the journey follows the failure outcome.
