Login token for portal menu items with an external URL

Login tokens for portal menu items with an external URL. MSR-1197 | January 2026

There is an increasing need to navigate from the candidate or customer portal to an external URL without requiring users to log in again. With this release, we have added this capability.

Who is this feature relevant for?

  • Customers with custom web applications alongside the MSR or hybrid portal.
  • Application administrators who extend portals with external functionality.

Key benefits

  • A form of single sign-on (SSO) from the portal to an external URL.
  • No additional login action required for candidates or customers.

Feature explanation

In the External URL field of a portal menu item (configured via custom metadata types), the token {logintoken} can now be used, for example as part of a query string:

?token={logintoken}

When a user clicks the menu item or tile:

  • {logintoken} is automatically replaced with a valid login token.
  • The external application can use this token to authenticate the user via the MSR Portal API (GET /apexrest/msf/api/candidate/authenticate and GET /apexrest/msf/api/customer/authenticate, see Swagger).

This enables a form of SSO integration from the portal.

Feature Implementation Time

Standard implementation: 2–4 hours
