Redirect end-user to external login page

Last Review Date 08/16/2022
How do I redirect an end-user to my external login page for SSO?
Environment:
- Customer Portal 3
- All contacts required to log in with SSO
Issue:
Our end-users have to log in with single sign-on (SSO). If their session is expired or if they visit a page URL directly, we want them to be redirected to our company's external login page instead of the Customer Portal login form.
Resolution:
This can be accomplished by changing some configuration settings. For more information on accessing the Configuration Editor and editing settings, refer to Answer ID 1960: Editing Configuration Settings.
- Enable PTA by setting the configuration setting PTA_ENABLED to "Yes" on the desired interface or interfaces.
- Place the URL of your customer login page into the configuration setting PTA_EXTERNAL_LOGIN_URL.
- (Optional) Set the value of the configuration setting PTA_SECRET_KEY to any string. You could also set the settings beginning with PTA_ENCRYPTION_ to any values. Because you are not actually using PTA functionality to log in, this is to prevent that login functionality from being used entirely.
