Articulate Sign In
Thanks Maria. I don't have an IT department. I'm an individual user.
Asking someone to try to figure out how to open port 443 to add domains is a large ask which requires advanced technical experience. How do you expect individual users to do this?
In all my 21 years of eLearning development experience I've never heard of such a thing. You should make your software easy to use for the end-user and not require this.
Hi Daniel,
If you feel uncomfortable delving into the firewall settings and messing with ports then I'd steer clear.
Having said that, I found this guide at clickssl.net/blog/port-443 that might help if you need to enable Port 443. You will need to go through Windows Defender and the built in firewall to do so unless you have an after-market firewall from your preferred antivirus provider (e.g. avast or bit defender).
As I understand it, when enabling the port, as you're setting up a rule via the firewall, you'll need to use the domains in the list linked by Maria above in the list of connections that use port 443.
I do agree the software should be created in such a fashion that the sign-in requirements need to be adjusted to be more user friendly and streamlined as right now it feels that they've been changed more for Articulate's benefit than the user base.
To contrast, Adobe CC hasn't required me to sign than when I first did so about 3 yrs ago unless I logged in via a different computer.
Kind regards,
Sam
