Eric, it's possible to allow users to sign in to ORCID using their institution's credentials: https://members.orcid.org/api/integrate/institution-sign-in . ORCID offers lots of tech support, as does the ORCID US Commumity ( https://www.lyrasis.org/Leadership/Pages/orcid-technical-support.aspx ). If you're not finding what you're looking for, I suggest posting to the discussion forum of the ORCID US Community: see https://www.lyrasis.org/Leadership/Pages/orcid-community-resources.aspx . --Kevin On 9/23/20 8:47 PM, Eric Lease Morgan wrote: > Does anybody here have experience implementing ORCID authentication, and if so, then what are some of the gotchas I ought be aware of? > > I am thinking about creating a public service. While people will be able to use much of the service sans authentication, the system's complete set of features will only be accessible after authentication. I don't need nor want to store usernames or passwords. Yuck and scary. Moreover, people don't need YAUAPC (Yet Another Username And Password Combination). I think ORCID may be a good way for me to enable people to authenticate. Provide people with a link, they authenticate via ORCID, I get a unique identifier for the person, and I know they are not some sort of robot. Moreover, based on the content of the resulting ORCID ID, I might be able to provide enhanced services of some kind. > > Have y'll done something like this?
