What is OpenText Connect?

OpenText Connect is a single sign-on solution that allows OpenText customers exclusive access to OpenText online communities, support resources, and up-to-date content and event information.
OpenText Connect provides:

• access and commenting on OpenText Blogs; and
• exclusive access to whitepapers, presentations and webinars.

In addition, if you have an active Customer Support maintenance contract, you may request access to My Support. If you are an OpenText designated partner or employee, you can also access Learning Central.

I cannot sign in to OpenText Connect.

If you experience problems when trying to sign in to OpenText Connect the following are some of the more common issues:

• Are you using the correct username? Your username for OpenText Connect is the business email address you used when registering your account.
• Did you select "Save Password" in your browser? It may have saved an old password or stored an otherwise incorrect password. You may want to try retyping it.
• Is your password case sensitive? The password field in OpenText Connect is case sensitive. Please be sure that "Caps Lock" is turned off and that you have properly entered any capital letters, numbers, and/or special characters.
• There may be an issue with cookie and temporary file storing in your browser. Clearing your browser's cookies and temporary files will remove tracking of previous OpenText Connect sessions that may be inhibiting your username/password authentication.
• There may be an issue with your browser type or version. You may be able to access OpenText Connect with a different browser type or version of your current browser.

If you are still unable to sign in to OpenText Connect, please contact connect@opentext.com for assistance. Please include your browser type and version along with any other information (including any of the steps above that you have tried) as it will help speed up our troubleshooting efforts.
