Live ID Feature

Commerce Server 2009

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.
