Answers (with questions)

1. Can I use my Open Text Online Knowledge Center, TechLink or FirstLook username and password with Communities?

No, not yet. There is an effort underway to provide single sign-on functionality to the Open Text Online Communities site in the same way that the Knowledge Center, TechLink and FirstLook are integrated. The Communities site provides self-registration and password reset functionality not yet available in the single sign-on solution, so has been kept separate.

2. I received the registration code through email, but cannot login. Why?

The code you receive in your email is not a password; it simply allows you to continue the registration process. Registration is a two step process:

1.       First you enter your email address.

2.       Next, upon receiving a confirmation code, you re-enter your email address and this confirmation code to begin the registration process though five more steps.

3. I enter my username and password and login, but get prompted to login again.

There are a number of reasons why you may get re-directed to the login page after submitting the login form:

·        Communities requires that your Web Browser support cookies to maintain your login session. Please ensure you have cookies enabled in your Web Browser. More information is available here for Internet Explorer and Mozilla/FireFox

·        You may have blocked communities.opentext.com as a site that can set cookies in your Browser. This is a variation on the issue described above and can be resolved using the links above.

·        Some Corporate network environments use a firewall or web proxy between you and this site. It may not be possible to maintain a connection in an environment where cookies, javascript, java are disabled, or IP addresses change frequently. You can verify this issue by trying to connect from another location, such as your home.

4. I have forgotten my password – how can I reset it?

There is a convenient password reset feature available at http://communities.opentext.com/communities/livelink.exe?func=llr.resetpassword

5. I have forgotten my username - how can I retrieve it?

Your username may not necessarily be your email address, but you should try this first. If you still do not know your username, please email us at communities@opentext.com with the email address you used to register your account. In turn, we can use this information to identify your username.

6. Can I use this site with the Mac Safari browser?

This site runs Livelink 9.5 with Communities of Practice and is certified with Safari 1.2 on MacOS 9.2. The Livelink Wiki module is currently in beta, and therefore cannot be fully supported on any browser/platform combination at this time.

Please email us at communities@opentext.com if you have other questions that we have not answered.
