Plugins of this category are used to apply registration and authentication methods to your survey or form.

1. Respondent Registration Plugin - Create new survey to register respondents and keep their login data within this survey.
2. Form Authentication Plugin - .
3. LDAP Based Authentication Plugin - .

Respondent Registration - This plugin is used to register respondents for a survey or form using login and password that can later be validated using the 'Form Authentication' plugin. Firstly create new survey that asks respondents for their login and password. This survey should contain 'Single Line' type of question asking respondents to register by entering their login, password and password confirmation. Then insert following tags: <authentication/> to the question text and <login/>, <password/>, <confirm_password/> for login, password and password confirmation fields respectively like shown on the image below.

When this is done, go to insert this plugin. No parameters need to be defined.
Now you can proceed further to setup a survey or form authentication with the registration data entered here.

Note

For correct "Respondent Registration" plugin behaviour it is not recommended to use the "Respondent may return and modify their response" rule on the survey "Rules" page when this plugin is applied.

Form Authentication - This plugin is used to allow only authorized respondents access your survey or form. Login data must be previously registered by means of Respondent Registration plugin. If all has been set up correctly go to add authentication plugin to your main survey and set up following parameters:

  1. *Authentication Survey or Form ID - Here you will need to indicate unique survey ID that is used for respondents registration and keeps respondent login credentials. This ID can be retrieved from the Master URL on the Launch page.
    For example: http://www.keysurvey.com/survey/11501/206c/. Unique survey ID is 11501.
  2. Anonymous - This parameter shows or hide respondents' login details within a report.
    true - login data will be hidden;
    false - you will be able to see login details within the report.

LDAP Based Authentication - If your company uses LDAP for authentication within the organization, you can use this plugin to apply LDAP to your survey or form.

  1. *URLs of LDAP Servers - Consult your private organization network administrator and provide URLs of LDAP servers. Use | as a separator if multiple servers are used.
  2. *LDAP Domains - Consult your private organization network administrator and provide LDAP domain names. Use | as a separator if multiple domains are used.
  3. Full - This parameter defines whether respondents can switch between indicated LDAP servers and domains when filling your survey or form.
    true - server URLs and domain names are always displayed;
    false - server URLs and domain names are hidden.
  4. Is User Anonymous - When respondents submit your survey or form using LDAP authentication you can track this data or allow respondents to be anonymous.
    true - respondents stay anonymous;
    false - rspondents will be tracked. This information will be available within the report.
