Sitecore CDP, Personalize, and Smart Hub CDP - Part 1

What is a CDP and Personalize?

It is worth mentioning that Sitecore CDP and Personalize are distinct products. Sitecore CDP is a Customer Data Platform that specializes in crafting captivating and enhanced web interactions by leveraging customer profiling. CDP is a Software as a Service (SAAS)-based centralized repository. Sitecore Personalize utilizes the information gathered by CDP to provide tailored experiments and interactions to users.

Sitecore CDP acquires data through APIs and audience synchronization for fundamental integration, whereas Sitecore Personalize employs models to initiate customer-centric experiences.

Sitecore CDP has the capability to intake data from various data sources across multiple channels, encompassing data from warehouses or external third-party sources and this data is append against relevant guest profiles.

What is Smart Hub CDP?

      Sitecore Custom API Issue with Federation Authentication

      Sitecore Custom API Issue with Federation Authentication In earlier segments, detailed in Part 1 and Part 2 of the blogs on Keycloak Integration with Sitecore, I introduced Keycloak functionality for CM login. Concurrently, I addressed a necessity to develop custom APIs for retrieving Sitecore users and roles. Following the development of custom APIs, during authentication failures, the API erroneously returned a status code of 200 instead of 401. The problem arose because API requests were being routed through the "owin.identityProviders" pipeline, which was not intended for API usage. Solution: When OWIN identifies a 401 response and the AuthenticationMode is set to "Active," it fails to capture the URL hash included in the request. Another choice is to activate the "Passive" AuthenticationMode, wherein OWIN refrains from actively intercepting 401 responses. In passive mode, your application needs to explicitly issue a Challenge to trigger the OWIN aut...

Service providers basically refer to a website, software, or app that the user is trying to access and SP basically relies on the identity provider to authenticate the user ...
