Getting started

Authentication is a critical component of cybersecurity and information systems for your brand, serving gatekeeper for verifying the identity of users. Various authentication methods exist, from traditional username-password combinations to more advanced techniques like biometrics and Multi-factor Authentication, both offered with ReachFive.

OpenID Connect (OIDC) and tokens play significant roles in modern authentication protocols, facilitating secure user identity verification, while Proof Key for Code Exchange (PKCE) adds an extra layer of protection in authorization processes. Overall, robust and tested authentication mechanisms are fundamental in safeguarding digital assets and maintaining the integrity of online systems.

Data models for user profiles define the structure of digital identities, incorporating personal details and preferences. As it relates to user events, data models capture timestamps and interactions, enabling your brand to analyze and extract valuable insights from chronological sequences of activities.

ReachFive’s roots are proudly French.

However, our platform and CIAM solution reaches far beyond that to a global consumer base for your brands. This includes supporting a wider variety of languages, enabling integration through a variety of platforms, and ensuring your brand has a bird’s eye view into your user base through robust analytics and granular control through the ReachFive Console.

With the combined support of our brilliant Professional Services team and the documentation provided here, we aim to provide starting points for your ReachFive journey as well as provide you with important integration content around importing and exporting data, setting up webhooks, and much more.

This includes starting with what you have, whether this is a Single-page application(SPA), web app, or you want to leverage one of our several SDKs (Core, UI, and Mobile).

Managing user profiles is vital for identity verification, authentication processes, and analytics within digital systems. User profiles store essential information, enabling robust identity verification during authentication. Additionally, they serve as valuable repositories for analytics, providing insights into user behavior, preferences, and interactions, which are crucial for enhancing user experiences and optimizing system performance.

The ReachFive Console is the control centre of your ReachFive CIAM experience. From here, you can use our robust analytic to get insights into your brand’s user behaviour, how they authenticate, issues they’re having, and most importantly, how to reach them and serve them better for optimal user retention. The ReachFive Console is where you can create hooks, export definitions, import definitions, create custom fields, set up Hosted Pages and more.

When it comes to brand reputation, few things are more important than security. Your user’s depend on you to keep their data safe and secure, while simultaneously offering a seamless experience. No place is this more true than with authentication and authorization. Users want a frictionless experience for online purchases, particularly when it comes to authenticating at the point-of-sale.

From integrating reCAPTCHA and strong password policies to robust Identity fraud protection, ReachFive is here to ensure a secure experience for your brand and your users.
