Using email address as login identifier (UPN)

We have a CRM 2011 that we need to expose to a set of external users.
We want to be able to add the new external users in the CRM as say [email protected], and then have them authenticate using their email address when they login
The plan is to use an external/3rd party identity service that provides a bunch of wokflows for password changing and other support functions.
We will be using ADFS 2.1 between our ADFS server and the 3rd party identity service ADFS.
We will have some internal users using the CRM and this set of external users.
We would like the external users to be able to use their email address to login. Their email addresses will all be from one domain (xyz.com) but that domain will be different to the 3rd party identity provider.
Now providing we have trusts set up correctly between our ADFS server and the 3rd party ADFS server, is this possible with some claim mapping by the 3rd party identity provider?
Given the 3rd party ADFS server will receive an email address of [email protected] can they then map that to a valid user on their domain?

Using email addresses for account ids

Has anyone used email addresses for account and customer ids in Portal? The concern is that people may change email addresses frequently, but we don't want to lose their history and profile info, but we want their login to be easy to remember.
Alternatively, we could have people enter their email address, then go look for the corresponding account id and use that to authenticate them. Anyone have any input on this approach, pro or con?
Thanks

I would suggest seperating your authentication and tracking specifications. You should not rely on variable values to track user history.
Usersnames may change whether or not the username is a valid email address. The use an "internal" id for users that is not dependent on the current username, email etc. That way the user can change these as required and you don't loose all your history and tracking data.

I have an "old" Apple ID set up 13 years ago. Apple has now gone to using email address as the apple ID. I have apps to update and they ask for old ID. it does not exist. How can I get the ID on the app changed to the new apple ID

I set up an apple id many years ago when itunes was established. Within the past year or so, Apple has changed to using email address as user id. My problem is that I have many applications that I can not update due to the fact that it is asking for the password of the old ID. It does not exist anymore. Any ideas on how to get the new apple id associated with the application without deleting the application. Several of these apps I purchased.

You can not merge accounts.
Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.

Never-used email address getting spammed.

When I signed up for BT Broadband they made me choose an email address [email protected]. I have never used it to send an email, not even to BT.
Within days of getting connected I began to receive spam emails on the new email address from a company called dabs.com. I worked out that they are the contractor BT uses to supply modems to customers. All dabs.com needed was my street address to post me the modem but BT told them my email address as well and they decided to abuse it. After I complained, BT said they would arrange for the emails to stop within 28 days but they've missed that deadline.
Now I am receiving spam advertising male libido boosting tablets.
How can my never-used email address have leaked? Can I blame dabs.com for selling it on to a spammer? Can spammers get them in other ways?

Hi.
dabs.com is not only a modem company, they sell all sorts of tech stuff. They used to be a separate company, but BT bought them a few years ago.
Spammers get their email address in a vast number of ways. Even if you've chosen a new address, this address could still actually be on a spam list.
For example spammers can assume if [email protected] exists, then so does [email protected] and [email protected] etc. They can also use dictionary methods, make all sorts of assumptions based on other user names (e.g. with or without a "period" and add/remove it). Also the email address can also have been used before, either as a primary or sub account - this means that the email address is already known and on spam lists.
Similarly [email protected], [email protected] etc, as well as slightly mispelt ones [email protected] ....
If the email address was dormant until you "picked it", then any bounces returned as email address not existing will never end up at the sending spammer, as the email addresses they use as the "From" address are never theirs and are either spoofed as someone elses (and they get the non delivery reports) or just random addresses.
There are other methods e.g. virus/trojan infected computers relaying email addresses to spammers without the user even knowing, and this virus infected computer could be a contact who has your email address, and not necessarily your computer infected.

Trouble doing FaceTime with iPad 2 using email address. Please help?

I have an iPhone 4S my wife also has an iPhone 4S
I have iPad 2 as well.
While at home connected to the same wifi source
I am able to do FaceTime video chat with each phone just by dialing the number of the other phone
I am able to do FaceTime connection from iPad2 by dialing either one of the phone numbers
However if I try to do FaceTime with iPad2 using the registered email account
it says busy call back
I went to work and connected my iPhone to another wifi
I tried FaceTime with with the iPad2 using the registered email it says myphone or iPad is busy
Both the iPhones and the iPad2 have the same registered email address
Even if I enter an alternate eamil address in iPad2 it still says my phone or iPad is2 busy call back
iphone 2 iphone using same wifi ok
ipad to iPhone using the same wifi ok
ipad to iPhone with each using different wifi it is still ok
however iphone to Ipad using the registered email address it is not going through
whether the ipad is connected to the same wifi or different wifi
Any suggestions
Indyram

Figured it out
Here are some tips
If you want to Facetime using email address with another apple device
be it iPhone or iPad each individual device has to have a unique email address
You can have the same ID for billing purposes but for FaceTime connection
it has to have different email addresses
In Settings select Facetime and make sure you have different email addresses
If not you will get a busy signal
To connect to an iPad you have to use the email address assigned to the facetime of that iPad
To connect to the iPhone you can use either email address or the phone number
Hope this will help some one

IPod Touch recently used email addresses

I was wondering if there was a way to clear out previously used email addresses that show up when I am using the Mail application on my iPod Touch without reformatting and starting fresh? I have tried removing the email account from the iPod Touch and adding it again. Thanks!

I think reseting it may work ... i had the same problem, when i miss typed an email address and it just kept poping up

BBPGETVD use of address comparison to identify duplicates Check box?

Hello Experts,
Have some doubts .
When I check the box in BBPGETVD use of address comparison to identify duplicates Cbox?
1) system should should transfer the number from R/3 right ?? system does not replicates??
2) When I check the box to assign internal number , system replicates the vendor successfully .
So can you please put some light on this behaviour of system.
Thanks
Kapil

Hi Kapil,
The number assignment and the Duplicate check are two different functionalities. The duplicate check (if ON) takes the address of the vendor and checks in the SRM for any BP with the same address. If there is already a BP present in the SRM system with the same address, then the vendor is not replicated from ECC.
Hope this helps
Cheers,
Yateesh

Not that I'm aware of. IMAP/POP allows for that, but not WebAccess

Retrieve Users Email Address from Login

Hi,
I'm trying to get the users e-mail address from the login providers (EG. MS, Google, Facebook and Twitter) so that I can insert it into the database on the Mobile Services side. I have gone through various articles about getting their full name etc, but
there is no mention of email address?
I need it as I need a way to send emails back to the user. Is this possible and if so how?
Thanks very much
Regards,
Mauro

This is similar to the blog post Rafal points to but more aggregated. However you might not be able to receive the email as ip's might not provide that info. (Please mark this as aswereed if you find it usefull)

How can i remove my phone number from imessage and just use email address ?

Hi all
I've searched all the forums and still can't find an answer for what i need (what i think i need!)
I have an iphone without a data plan so whenever anybody who is registered with imessage sends me a message i will not
receive it until i am back on wifi.
What i want to achieve is to be able to receive sms messages from imessage users when i am not on wifi and then imessages when i am back on wifi.
My assumption is that if i can unlink my mobile number from iMessage and only have it associated with my email address that this should work, but i cannot seem to remove my phone number from imessage, in the settings > iMessage > send and receive it will allow me to un-tick the associated email addresses but my phone number is greyed out and will not allow me to untick.
On my home Mac i can go into messages app and deselect the phone number but not on the iphone.
One solution says to deregister my phone on https://supportprofile.apple.com/ which i have tried (i can't see how that would work anyhow as there is no phone number in that registration)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated,
thanks, Andy

Regardless if using your cell phone number or your Apple ID email address, iMessage requires an internet connection via an available wi-fi network or via your carrier's cellular network. Without a data plan and no internet access with your carrier's cellular network, an iMessage addressed to your email address can be received only when your iPhone is connected to an available wi-fi network no different when an iMessage is addressed to your cell phone number.
You cannot deselect or remove your cell phone number below you can be reached by iMessage at with iMessage on an activated iPhone. The iPhone's phone number is activated along with your Apple ID.

Error when using using email address used for HP Store when signing up for ePrint

When signing up for ePrint I had to use a different email address to my usual because:
1) ePrint kept saying that my email address was already in use, or pswd was incorrect
2) When checking it wasn't the passord - using forgotten pwd (as I hadn't yet signed up for ePrint - surprised if this) then after entering same email I got a message saying the correct account was needed before the forgotten pwd function would work (catch22). I would have at least expected an email to come through regarding pwd to that email - mine or not.
I've now had to use another email address to register for ePrint, which is annoying.
Any assistance to re-align to one email (and maintain integrity) greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi msmale,
Do you have a Snapfish account? If so, (or even if you’re not sure) try logging in with the Snapfish icon below the Sign in Button. If you do not know your Snapfish password, you can select “forgot password” and an email will be sent to you to reset your password. Once you reset your password, go back in to the ePrint Center and try to sign in with this new information.
I was an HP employee.

Switch apple id to previously used email address

I am trying to switch my apple id from my school email address to my gmail address because I am graduating soon. However, when I try to switch it to my gmail, it says that I have already used the gmail as my apple id before, but I don't think I have. Is there anyway to remedy this or to use an email that apple thinks it has already seen before (even though I don't think it has)? Thank you!

If you are looking to be able to setup a new Apple ID that uses an iCloud email vs an outside email, here is how you do it (I just did it tonight)
On your iMac, click the Apple icon in the upper left of the desktop, and choose System Preferences.
Under the Internet and Wireless section, select Mail, Contacts, and Calendars
Click the + sign at the bottom of the list on the left and select iCloud.
In the pop up, select "Create Apple ID...." in the lower left
Enter your country and birthday
In the next form you will notice a choice at the top that says to "use an existing email" or "get a free iCloud email address." It will then give you a place to create the part that will go before the @icloud.com.
Fill out the rest of the form and you have a brand new Apple ID based on your iCloud email address.
I have not tried to use it in the iTunes, but should just be a matter of signing into iTunes and setting up the credit card and such.
Hopefully that will help you if you have not gone too far with your purchaseds on her new Apple ID

How to update password with out of use email address

I have adobe digital editions on my desktop computer - it is authorized to an old out of use email. I can read books on the desktop.
On my Note3 phone, I can log into adobe using my new current email but I can't open eBooks.
I can't use the old email to log in because the password has to be verified with a confirmation email to that old non-existent address.
How do I escape this conundrum?
1) I would like to authorize my computer using my current email.
2) I would like to authorize my new Note3 phone - so I can read my DRM protected books.
Thanks.

thanks for the website link. I still haven't quite figured out how to overcome this problem.
How do I change my account email if I have forgotten my password. It's really a catch 22 since the new password is sent to my old and defunct email address.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

New Apple ID using email addresses

I have an iPhone 4 synced to my iMac and an iTunes account. My wife got an iPad 2, and used my Apple ID to buy apps. Now with IOS5, Apple requires an email address for the account name. Since the upgrade on both devices, we can't use imessage or facetime between the phone and ipad since my email address is the account name. It's like sending a message to myself. When I changed the email address on the iPad, Apple thought I was changing my Apple ID.

I thought I was alone in this problem. I have an iPhone 3GS and when I upgraded to the OS5 Apple wouldn't take my e-mail address. In the process of trying to trouble shoot I inadvertently changed my Apple ID (which was not an e-mail address) and now I can't get my old ID back. Apple is forcing me to use my e-mail account instead.
My guess is that this is all intentional, but since Apple hasn't come out and stated "we are now requiring you to change your old Apple ID to an e-mail account" it is frustrating and feels a bit underhanded. Your note confirms that this is actually going on and not just me trying in vain to revive my old Apple ID. Apple has also changed the password format, another thing they sort of just slipped in there. Oh well.

Why cannot activate Facetime on IPhone using email address as an option - similar to Ipod and Ipad2

Unable to activate Facetime on my IPhone 4 ( Unlocked and bought from Apple stores in France ),
It's keep saying " Waiting for activation..."
As a suggestion, a software upgrade that enable IPhone4 FT to be activated using an email address instead of the phone number.
Please advise if possible... one day

Not possible.
The iPhone is a ..... phone. FaceTime with an iPhone is activated with the iPhone's cell phone number only.
If Apple plans on changing this one day, no one here knows.
