Live ID Feature

  • Article

The Live ID feature lets shoppers associate their Windows Live IDs with their Commerce Server 2009 user logins. This feature modifies the SharePoint Login Page by adding a "Sign In" link. This feature also modifies the Registration Wizard and the My Profile Web Parts by adding a "Associate with my Live ID account" checkbox.
