User lookup

Provides a single field of input for user to enter an identifier.

Configuration

Authenticator type: UserLookup

Common Authenticator configuration can be found here.

Properties

Name	Description	Default value	Mandatory
pipe_id	Name of pipe used for validation	N/A
allowed_retries	Allowed number of times a user is allowed to enter OTP before process is aborted.	2
webroot_dir	See common authenticator configuration	web/authenticator/user_lookup
custom_identifier	Tag used for event separation	N/A

Example

Property base_path should not contain the full path when used in conjunction with the Selector, instead, the full URI will be handled by the selector. The full path will be base_path + / + id.

Logging

Apart from system logging, event logging is done when completing and failing a transaction.

Event ids are:

• WEB_100024("Performed user lookup")

  • IDENTIFIER (user trace id)

  • CUSTOMER_IDENTIFIER (if configured)

  • SOURCE_USER_NAME (username entered by the user)

  • SOURCE_ADDRESS (ip of the remote session)

• WEB_100025("User lookup failed")

  • IDENTIFIER (user trace id)

  • CUSTOMER_IDENTIFIER (if configured)

  • SOURCE_ADDRESS (ip of the remote session)

  • SOURCE_USER_NAME (username entered by the user)

Data sent to validation pipe

On validation, data sent to the pipe is:

• identifier - the username provided by the user

Data exposed to global state

After a user completes a transaction, the authenticator is marked as done. Data from the authentication response is then put into the global state replacing existing values:

• username

API

Starting an authentication

Start by sending in a Ajax request containing identifier & password:

{
    "type": "start",
    "data": {
        "identifier": "<user_data>"
    }
}

The response back will contain either a COMPLETED or ERROR:

{
    "status": "COMPLETED"
}
