Integrations

Azure Storage

The solution uses Azure Queue Storage and Azure Blob Storage to execute background processes.

ReCaptcha

The solution uses Google ReCaptcha v3 to prevent spam through website forms that do not require authentication.

Lucene Search

The solution uses Kentico.Xperience.Lucene to provide a web based search experience for blogs and Q&A discussions.

Google Tag Manager

The solution uses Kentico.Xperience.TagManager to manage and load each environment's Google Tag Manager tag.

Authentication

The site uses a custom Azure AD App Registration in the Kentico tenant to provide SSO for Kentico employees to the Community Portal. This integration is set up according to the Xperience documentation on the topic.

To assign Azure AD Users and Groups to specific roles within Xperience, manage the App Role assignments for the Enterprise Application.

Traditional Forms Authentication for the Admin is still enabled.
