Hey Everyone !!! This blog will walk you through the steps necessary to quickly implement authentication mechanisms for your React application by leveraging LoginRadius and the LoginRadius CLI with the help of examples.

\n

Using the LoginRadius CLI, you can perform basic actions of your LoginRadius Dashboard through the command line. The actions include login, register, logout, social configuration, domain whitelisting, site management, etc. Once the actions are performed, changes will be reflected in your application.

\n

Configuring LoginRadius

\n

Please follow the steps below to install the LoginRadius CLI on your system. Once completed, use the CLI to finish registration on the LoginRadius portal and create your application.

\n

LoginRadius CLI Setup

\n

Mac or Linux

\n\n

Other Platforms

\n\n

Once you have the CLI installed, the following command can be used to complete the registration process via the LoginRadius portal.

\n
$ lr register
\n

This command will open the Portal in the browser, where you can register yourself and create the app.

\n

\"alt_text\"

\n

If you already have a LoginRadius account, use the command below to directly login :

\n
$ lr login
\n

Once you successfully register or login, the below message will be visible in a new tab on the browser. Close the tab and return to the CLI.

\n
You are Successfully Authenticated, Kindly Close this browser window and go back to CLI.
\n

If your account has multiple sites (for Developer/Developer Pro Plans), an option will be given to choose the site that you wish to login with. You can choose a site according to your preference.

\n
$ lr login\n  Successfully Authenticated, Fetching Your Site(s)...\n? Current Site is: <value>, Want to Switch? Yes\n? Select the site from the list: <value>\n  Site has been updated.\n  Successfully Logged In
\n

Fetching Application API Credentials

\n

Once the login/register process has been completed, run the lr get config command to fetch your API Key/Secret as shown below.

\n

\"alt_text\"

\n

Configuring Callback URLs

\n

Here, a callback URL refers to a URL in your application that LoginRadius would redirect a user to after they have been authenticated. These URLs must be added to your Application Configuration. If not set, users will be unable to login into the application and receive an error.

\n

\"alt_text\"

\n

For security reasons, LoginRadius only processes API calls that are received from the whitelisted domains. To get the list of whitelisted domains, run lr get domain command from the CLI. Similarly, to add a domain, use the lr add domain command.

\n
\n

For the purposes of this tutorial, make sure that you set http://localhost as a whitelisted domain.

\n
\n

\n

Setup React JS application

\n

This tutorial uses a demo app based on the Create React App (CRA) boilerplate. For instructions on how to create a React App, refer to the following docs.

\n

The React Demo Application mentioned here will display the User Profile data if the login process is completed successfully.

\n

After setting up the boilerplate:

\n\n
const config = {\n    APP_NAME: '<<App Name>>',\n    API_KEY: '<<API Key>>',\n  };\n  export default config;
\n
\n

This tutorial uses LoginRadius Auth Page(IDX) for authentication, where Registration and Login functionality is already implemented. For example, you can navigate your Register buttons to https://<LoginRadius APP Name>.hub.loginradius.com/auth.aspx?action=register&return_url=<Return URL>.

\n
\n

Add Code to your Application

\n\n
import { BrowserRouter as Router, Route, Switch } from "react-router-dom";\nimport "./App.css";\nimport LandingPage from "./components/LandingPage";\nimport Login from "./components/Login";\nimport Logout from "./components/Logout";\n\nfunction App() {\n  return (\n    <Router>\n      <div className="App">\n        <Switch>\n          <Route exact path="/">\n            <LandingPage />\n          </Route>\n          <Route path="/login">\n            <div style={{ display: "flex", padding: "1em" }}>\n              <Login />\n              <Logout />\n            </div>\n          </Route>\n        </Switch>\n      </div>\n    </Router>\n  );\n}\n\nexport default App;
\n

Add Landing Page

\n

In your components folder under the src folder, create a src/components/LandingPage.js file and add the following code to navigate your Register/Login buttons to the following URL's as shown below.

\n
import React from "react";\nimport config from "../config.js";\nconst LandingPage = () => {\n  return (\n    <div>\n      <h1> React Demo App </h1>\n\n      <a\n        href={`https://${config.APP_NAME}.hub.loginradius.com/auth.aspx?action=register&return_url=${window.location.origin}/login`}\n      >\n        <button>Register</button>\n      </a>\n\n      <a\n        href={`https://${config.APP_NAME}.hub.loginradius.com/auth.aspx?action=login&return_url=${window.location.origin}/login`}\n      >\n        <button>Login</button>\n      </a>\n    </div>\n  );\n};\nexport default LandingPage;
\n

By doing this, we are redirecting our application to the LoginRadius Auth Page and are passing the return_url as the current origin. After successful login, the Login component fetches the user profile data as shown in the following step. However, return_url can also be your website, backend server, etc., where you can handle the access token to perform different actions.

\n

Add Login Component

\n

In your components folder, create a src/components/Login.js file and add the following code to retrieve User Profile Data.

\n
import React from "react";\nimport { withRouter } from "react-router-dom";\nimport config from "../config";\n\nclass Login extends React.Component {\n  constructor(props) {\n    super(props);\n    this.state = {\n      userProfileResponse: null,\n    };\n  }\n\n  componentDidMount() {\n    const token = new URLSearchParams(this.props.location.search).get("token");\n    if (token) {\n      fetch(\n        "`https://api.loginradius.com/identity/v2/auth/account?apikey=" +`\n          config.API_KEY,\n        {\n          method: "GET",\n          headers: {\n            Authorization: "Bearer " + token,\n          },\n        }\n      )\n        .then((res) => res.json())\n        .then((res) => {\n          this.setState({ userProfileResponse: res });\n        })\n        .catch((e) => {\n          console.log(e);\n        });\n    } else {\n      window.location.assign(\n        `https://${config.APP_NAME}.hub.loginradius.com/auth.aspx?action=login&return_url=${window.location.origin}/login`\n      );\n    }\n  }\n\n  render() {\n    const { userProfileResponse } = this.state;\n\n    return (\n      <div>\n        <span style={{ whiteSpace: "pre-wrap", textAlign: "left" }}>\n          {JSON.stringify(userProfileResponse, null, 4)}\n        </span>\n      </div>\n    );\n  }\n}\n\nexport default withRouter(Login);
\n

The Login component will call the LoginRadius API to fetch the user data by making use of the token obtained upon logging in via the LoginRadius Auth Page.

\n

Add Logout component

\n

In your components folder, create a src/components/Logout.js file and add the code as shown below.

\n
import React from "react";\nimport config from "../config.js";\n\nconst Logout = () => {\n  localStorage.removeItem("token");\n\n  return (\n    <div class="container">\n      <a\n        href={`https://${config.APP_NAME}.hub.loginradius.com/auth.aspx?action=logout&return_url=http://localhost:3000/`}\n      >\n        <button>Logout</button>\n      </a>\n    </div>\n  );\n};\nexport default Logout;
\n

This component contains logout functionality. Here, action=logout is passed to the LoginRadius Auth Page, which will log the user out and return them to the Landing Page specified in the return_url.

\n
\n

Full code of the demo can be found on github.

\n
\n

Testing the application

\n

Run the React Application from the command line using npm start. You will be able to see the output on localhost:3000. You can also directly open the IDX page on https://<LoginRadius APP Name>.hub.loginradius.com/auth.aspx?action=register&return_url=http://localhost:3000/login.

\n

Congratulations! You have set up a React Application configured with LoginRadius using LoginRadius CLI. Continue reading to check out some cool and advanced features of the LoginRadius CLI that will help you manipulate and configure the LoginRadius Auth Page for your application through the CLI.

\n

Running a business relies heavily on visibility and analytics. With the use of Google Tag Manager, your marketing team can ensure that both these needs are met.

\n

Google Tag Manager is yet another tool that online shopping websites use to reach large audiences. The online lodging company Airbnb states that the use of Tag Manager has improved the data collection of vendors by 90%.

\n

To understand why your business should use a Google Tag Manager, you must first understand what is a tag.

\n

What is a Tag

\n

A tag is a piece of code available on a website. The code is usually present in Javascript but can also be in the form of a pixel or a transparent image. It functions as a medium through which data about a certain product can be gathered. This data can also relate to a visitor’s onsite behavior.

\n

Tags are also a connecting link between third-party analytical tools like Google Analytics and marketing tools like Campaign Manager and Google Ads. Facebook Pixel is another analytical tool that tracks the conversion rate of advertisements or visitor engagement with the help of tags.

\n

How does Google Tag Manager Work

\n

A tag manager essentially acts as a platform where marketers can manage several tags present on their website. There is no need for a developer to edit the code that is used to create tags.

\n

The best part is, only minimum technical knowledge is required to use the Tag Manager. The working of the Google Tag Manager relies heavily on a data layer that relays information from the website to the Tag Manager.

\n

\"Benefits-of-Google-Tag-Manager\"

\n

This information from the GTM data layer can then be used to deploy or fire desired tags. For example, the Google data layer will integrate the information in the tag to Google Analytics.

\n

Therefore, Google Analytics can now analyze the information to determine the conversion rate of the Google Analytics tag.

\n

To learn how to create a Tag, visit the official instructional page here.

\n

Advantages of Google Tag Manager

\n

1. Creation of tags

\n

The tool helps create unique tags relevant to your business or product. Therefore, it is capable of tracking a variety of aspects like conversion ratio, clicks on the internal and external linking and many other analytical features.

\n

2. Easy integration

\n

The tool can integrate with other Google analytical tools as well as tools from third-party companies. This option can allow you to have the best of both worlds as they run their online B2B Marketing Strategies Post COVID.

\n

3. Faster loading time

\n

The GTM (Google Tag Manager) tool gives the option to add a long list of tags. The tool then adds the tags while ensuring that the loading time of the web pages stays intact and does not slow down.

\n

4. Display of fired tags

\n

Another interesting feature and significant advantage is the ability to view which tags have been fired on the platform. A simple visit to the tags section of the GTM dashboard will display the tags that functioned due to the click of a link or a file download.

\n

5. Single region

\n

All the tags added to the webpage will be listed on the GTM dashboard. Therefore, it is easy to track how many tags and the types of tags are present on the page.

\n

6. Debugging and error checking

\n

The platform also possesses the provision to check certain errors in the code or particular bugs that may be slowing down the web page.

\n

These are some of Google Tag Manager advantages that make GTM a compelling one.

\n

What Are Some of the Setbacks of Google Tag Manager

\n

Even though the GTM platform can be fairly easy to use, it does require a significant learning curve. The biggest hurdle that first-time users face is that they will have to learn the various features of Google Tag Manager from scratch. This includes learning basic programming and a long list of terms.

\n

There can be some problems with the various components that are involved in the use of tags and managing them. They may not fire at the required time and would, therefore, require some tweaking.

\n

Conclusion

\n

You can utilize Google Tag Assistant to attain better functionality of GTM. This is a free Chrome extension that can be downloaded here. Now, get a user-friendly website that suits the needs and wants of your consumers with all the required analytics.\n\"book-a-demo-Consultation\"

In an era, when every business is gearing up for a digital transformation journey to thrive productivity and scalability, the role of identity management can’t be overlooked.

\n

Whether we talk about user experience or data privacy and security, identity management can do wonders for online businesses striving for business growth.

\n

You might be thinking about identity management from a security perspective, and surprisingly, many of you won’t even consider its importance for your business.

\n

Well, leading identity management software are reinforcing online businesses by not just offering data security and privacy but eventually helping them increase their client base, get more subscriptions, and enhanced sign-ups.

\n

The way companies operate and present themselves in the digital world is perhaps the key to business success.

\n

Let’s learn how identity management is shaping decision-making for diverse enterprises.

\n

Consumer Experience

\n

With decision making at the users’ end becoming a matter of seconds, consumer identity and access management is the heart of delivering the best consumer experience.

\n

Believe it or not, if you’re able to offer the best consumer experience to your targeted audience, you’re almost on the verge of digitally transforming your business.

\n

With new rules, possibilities, and access management, digital technologies are paving the path for superior user experience, which is undoubtedly the need of the hour.

\n

The increasingly sophisticated audience now considers digital interactions as the sole mechanism for interacting with businesses and established brands and expects enhanced online relationships that are delivered seamlessly and modestly.

\n

In a nutshell, an enterprise cannot even think of digital growth without leveraging a consumer identity and access management solution, which helps brands deliver a flawless user experience without compromising on security.

\n

Data Privacy and Security

\n

While the total number of data breaches rapidly surging across the globe, consumers do expect adequate control around how a business collects, stores, and manages its profile data.

\n

Since your competitors are just a click away, you need to ensure that you’re delivering the most secure environment to your audience and that too backed by a great user experience.

\n

Sure enough, you won’t expect your brand image gets tarnished just because you were unable to secure consumer data.

\n

There are many examples where industry leaders have to face losses worth millions due just because their clients’ data was exposed to unauthorized professionals.

\n

With a consumer identity and access management (CIAM) solution in place, a brand can be sure enough that their consumers’ data and privacy is secured.

\n

This not only helps in building trust over potential clients but eventually lends a hand in maintaining a brand image in the market.

\n

So, next time you’re thinking of delivering a rich consumer experience with the highest level of data security, get a CIAM in place.

\n

\"modern-customer-identity\"

\n

Consumer On-Boarding

\n

Admit it, if your potential client isn’t finding it easier to sign-up on your website or application, or unable to understand the value that you’ll offer, they’ll surely inch towards your competitors.

\n

Every product is unique, and how your business is going to handle the onboarding process will help you to know about your users, their needs, and how your product is going to stay with them.

\n

Once you get a client sign-up for your services, the next big step is to gather the information in a way that doesn’t hamper client experience.

\n

Since you can’t force your client or potential consumer to provide a lot of details in a single form, which always affects sign-up rates, you need a smart onboarding solution for the same.

\n

Progressive profiling in a CIAM solution through multi-step registration is proven to be a game-changer for businesses struggling with adequate traffic but no conversions.

\n

Progressive profiling for consumer registration and onboarding allows you to split a potentially complicated registration process into multiple easy steps. You can capture a client’s information upfront and then slowly build out a holistic view of that consumer through subsequent actions.

\n

Final Thoughts

\n

The modern epoch has significantly offered new horizons to businesses for scaling growth while they walk on a path for digital transformation.

\n

Consumer identity and access management solutions help businesses achieve their goals through delivering a seamless user experience to their clients and ensuring the highest level of security.

\n

In simple words, a modern CIAM solution is undoubtedly paving the path for a rich consumer experience that leads to more subscriptions and sign-ups.

Are you struggling to find out how visitors interact with your website — what they look at, where they click, what do they ignore, and how far do they scroll?

\n

Then it would be best if you use a heatmap on critical business pages, such as product page, homepage, and checkout pages.

\n

What is a Heatmap

\n

A heatmap is a color-coded representation that shows you what elements on your website are getting the highest interaction (hot) and those that are getting the lowest (cold).

\n

You get a comprehensive understanding of what is holding visitors’ attention, what needs to be improved, and what needs to be removed.

\n

Simply put, heatmap allows you to provide your users the experience they deserve.

\n

There are two leading services, namely Hotjar and Clarity, that are competing to win this space.

\n

Although Hotjar began its services in 2014, Clarity has emerged as a strong contender in less than a year since it rolled out its services in 2020.

\n

But before comparing them, let’s understand why heatmaps are essential?

\n

Why are Heatmaps Essential

\n

Most people use website tracking applications like Google Analytics to monitor website performance.

\n

There is no doubt that such tools are essential, but unfortunately, they provide only trivial data such as website clicks and traffic.

\n

Suppose one day you see a peripheral page getting an unusually high amount of traffic. You know that this page has links embedded in numerous posts.

\n

So, how will you determine the source of this massive traffic? Wouldn’t you wonder how users are getting on this page?

\n

Heatmap analytics plays an essential role in answering the following five questions for your business website:

\n
    \n
  1. Are visitors clicking on Call to Action (CTA) links?
    2. \n
  2. Are visitors seeing critical website elements like eBooks, guides, and solution briefs?
    3. \n
  3. Are visitors avoiding or disliking any element on your website?
    4. \n
  4. Are visitors experiencing problems or inconvenience while interacting with your website?
    5. \n
  5. Are visitors getting confused by non-clickable elements?
    6. \n
\n

Several case studies reveal how heatmap tracking can help you improve your website. For example:

\n\n

After understanding what heatmaps are and why they are essential, it’s time to compare Hotjar with Microsoft Clarity.

\n

\n\n

2. Microsoft Clarity

\n

Microsoft Clarity entered the heatmap stage in October 2020. It allows recording individual sessions that examine user behavior.

\n

It also creates detailed heatmaps that discover which parts of the page drive maximum user engagement and provides information about excessive scrolling, dead clicks, rage clicks, and JavaScript errors.

\n

Microsoft Clarity is a relatively new entrant and is being constantly improved upon.

\n

Benefits of Microsoft Clarity

\n

Microsoft Clarity can be readily adapted for numerous benefits because of the following reasons:

Hotjar has been leading the heatmap market for over half a decade. It has a free plan that offers basic features such as on-demand manual reports, creating and storing incoming feedback widgets, snapshot recordings, and much more. The free plan is suitable for your website if it receives low traffic.

\n

But you should subscribe to the business plan to get deeper insights if you have an established website that receives a substantial amount of traffic.

\n

The business plan will allow you to take unlimited surveys and feedback widgets, identify APIs, remove Hotjar branding, and much more.

\n

You should stick with this plan if you spend on display or digital advertising campaigns, as it will help you maximize ROIs.

\n

Microsoft Clarity

\n

As discussed earlier, Clarity is a new player in the field of heat mapping. The platform lacks many features available on Hotjar, like collecting user feedback and creating movement heatmaps.

\n

But it’s adding plenty of features at a fast pace. Putting all drawbacks aside, Clarity processes more than 1 petabyte of data over a consumer base of 100 million+ users per month. The best part is that Clarity is a free-to-use software.

\n

Our Verdict

\n

Ideally, you must go with Hotjar if you are looking to access highly advanced website tracking and Analytics features. But if you receive less traffic on your website and are looking for excellent free heat map software, then Clarity is your best bet.\n\"book-a-demo-Consultation\"

With cloud computing evolving leaps and bounds, enterprises are exploring new horizons to streamline processes and scale business growth.

\n

Since many businesses are inching towards cloud services, it’s becoming quite challenging for them to provide a governance model that not only provides visibility of every cloud service but eventually offers appropriate access with proper security.

\n

It would be great for businesses to learn about the fact that migrating from on-premises to cloud isn’t a piece of cake and requires an adequate governance model in place.

\n

You might be thinking about what governance model is and why your business requires it implemented within the organization.

\n

Well, just like on-premise IT infrastructure, companies relying on the cloud must have control over which apps or software can be accessed within the organization and by which department.

\n

In the cloud, the same can be implemented in a couple of seconds. To handle the overall efficiency and costs, businesses must have a certain set of rules.

\n

Let’s learn what cloud governance is and reasons to rely on cloud governance solutions for streamlined processes.

\n

What is Cloud Governance

\n

Cloud governance could be defined as the set of rules and protocols that enhance data security and helps to manage risks to ensure smooth functioning in a cloud environment.

\n

With cloud governance in place, organizations can ensure that all the systems interactions along with access are precisely measured and managed without hampering the overall security.

\n

There are endless complexities whenever a business migrates from on-premise to cloud, which impacts the architecture as well.

\n

Cloud governance streamlines access for users with rules that simplify establishment, verification, and reinforces policy compliance.

\n

Here are the reasons why your business needs cloud governance:

\n

1. Easy management of cloud resources.

\n

One of the biggest advantages of cloud governance is the delivery of precise access control coupled with cost management without breaking the first line of defense.

\n

A strong governance strategy allows enterprises to organize multiple accounts and provide access as per their requirement and designation. This not only strengthens data security but also lends a hand in organizing and maintaining resource allocation on the cloud.

\n

\"Future-proof-your-security\"

\n

2. Cloud governance minimizes compliance risk.

\n

It doesn’t matter which industry vertical you serve, you need to conduct regular security and compliance audits and assessments. Cloud governance can help you in preparing a long list of compliances that are under security frameworks.

\n

Most businesses aren’t aware of data and security compliances, which is perhaps the reason they have to pay hefty fines whenever there are any legal consequences.

\n

It’s always a great decision to audit the compliances and implement the required compliances that can ensure data and privacy security for your clients and employees accessing data over the cloud.

\n

3. Cloud governance reduces costs.

\n

Gone are the days when you had to deploy a team that can manually track accounts, compliance, and costs. You can now leverage automation to control access, policy, and the overall budget for your specified projects.

\n

Apart from this, the governance solutions can provide enforcement actions that can further allow you to do the follow-ups whenever you receive an alert. This prevents non-compliant activities and saves time and effort as well.

\n

4. Cloud governance improves security.

\n

As an organization moves to the cloud, certain risks linked to data storage, maintenance, and retrieval arise. Here’s where cloud governance comes into play.

\n

Enterprises can be sure enough that their data is securely managed and stored in the cloud with certain protocols in place. This reduces the chances of employees and consumers inching towards shadow IT to get the job done as they would already have a solution for every issue.

\n

Organizations that are consistently worried regarding the concept of shadow IT and its consequences for their company can leverage cloud governance to avoid any similar issues.

\n

5. Cloud governance regulates and monitors data access.

\n

Another great aspect associated with cloud governance is that enterprises can regulate and monitor data access in real-time. This means if there’s unauthorized access to data stored over the cloud, the same would be reported to the admin in real-time.

\n

This enhances the overall data security and the admin can keep an eye on insignificant data access requests even within the organizational network.

\n

Conclusion

\n

Cloud governance should be the top-most priority for businesses leveraging cloud infrastructure in today’s era as the data regulations are getting stringent day-by-day.

\n

The aforementioned aspects depict the role of cloud governance and how it lays the foundation of security and data access within an organization.

Did you know adding social login to your website can drastically enhance engagement and bump-up registrations?

\n

If you’re a business with an online platform that has a significant amount of traffic but unable to generate a good amount of leads, you probably need to rework your website’s authentication process.

\n

Yes, nobody wishes to squander their precious time when it comes to registrations on a website. Or we can say, no one wants to juggle separate passwords and ids for different platforms.

\n

Social login enables users to use existing login credentials from a social networking platform including Facebook, Google, Twitter, and more enabling simplified logins and registrations.

\n

Let’s learn how LoginRadius’ social authentication helps to scale business growth and how to implement social login.

\n

Why Social Login?

\n

While social login bypasses the conventional registration forms that eventually eat up a lot of time, it also builds credibility on an online service provider that is not asking for your details in a single go.

\n

Moreover, another hurdle for businesses seeking business growth through online platforms is the overall security of user data while the information is being collected, stored, and retrieved.

\n

One needs to follow the necessary compliances while collecting PII to ensure that the data is securely collected and managed.

\n

Apart from this, maintaining compliance with enhanced user experience is yet another uphill battle for businesses, especially when all it takes is a couple of seconds to decide whether you have a lead or an increase in the bounce rate of the site.

\n

Here’s the place where you need a smart and efficient social login in place.

\n

LoginRadius’ social authentication not only offers compliance to international privacy and data security regulations but eventually provides a smooth login experience.

\n

Users can quickly sign up for a platform in just a couple of seconds through LoginRadius’ social authentication solution.

\n
