Open Stack

But selecting from a list is harder then from a grid. A grid would give you ample room for icons, which also make finding what your looking for easier. Having a bit more space makes selecting the thing you want with a mouse(or finger on a tablet) easier.

To make it not visually overloaded, you hide the rest of the form bits then, once you select a method, user/password for example, the grid slides out of the way, and the username/pw box shows up. Leave the selected box up in the corner with an X on it, so they can cancel what they selected, and slide the grid back when clicked so they can select something different.

Thanks,
Kevin

Hi Ioram,
Thanks for the feedback. I agree that the names are hard to follow, they can change to something more intuitive. Or we can even provide a tooltip for more information.
As for the look and feel, I don't agree that its easier if all the options are listed. Image if you had 5 different ways for users to log in and they are all shown at once. That's a lot to take in.
This approach keep things simply, it's really not that hard to pick from a list.

Hi Anton,
I'm just building on top of the visuals we already have without changing things too drastically. If you have a better idea, I would love to see it.

Hi Thai,

I agree with Anton that the names are not intuitive for users.

I would use something like:
- Local authentication (for local credentials)
- ?? (I also have no idea of what is a Default protocol)
- Authenticate using <name of IdPs or federation> (something which is easy to the user understand that he could use or not - this is for the discovery service or remote IdP)

Here in the University of Kent we used another approach.
Instead of selecting the method using a "list/combo" box, we present all the options in a single screen.
I think it's not beautiful, but functional.
I think it would be easier to the user if they could have all the options in a single interface, since it doesn't become too much loaded (visually polluted).

Hi,

I guess "Credentials" is login and password. I have no idea what is "Default Protocol" or "Discovery Service".
The proposed UI is rather embarrassing.

Hi all,

I have been helping with the websso effort and wanted to get some feedback.
Basically, users are presented with a login screen where they can select: credentials, default protocol, or discovery service.
If user selects credentials, it works exactly the same way it works today.
If user selects default protocol or discovery service, they can choose to be redirected to those pages.

Keep in mind that this is a prototype, early feedback will be good.
Here are the relevant patches:
