Logging

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

Event ids are:

• WEB_100017("Authenticated using User-name & password")

  • IDENTIFIER (user trace id)

  • CUSTOMER_IDENTIFIER (if configured)

  • SOURCE_USER_NAME (username entered by the user)

  • SOURCE_ADDRESS (ip of the remote session)

  • AUTHENTICATOR_IDENTIFIER (id and display name)

• WEB_100018("Failed authentication using User-name & password")

  • IDENTIFIER (user trace id)

  • CUSTOMER_IDENTIFIER (if configured)

  • SOURCE_ADDRESS (ip of the remote session)

  • SOURCE_USER_NAME (username entered by the user)

  • AUTHENTICATOR_IDENTIFIER (id and display name)

Data sent to validation pipe

On validation, data sent to the pipe is:

• identifier - the username provided by the user

• password - the password 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>",
        "password": "<user_password>"
    }
}

The response back will contain either a COMPLETED or ERROR:

{
    "status": "COMPLETED"
}
