Based on the BankID documentation found here:

https://www.bankid.com/utvecklare/guider/teknisk-integrationsguide

Authenticator type: BidOnMobileDevice

Common Authenticator configuration can be found here.

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 starting, completing, and failing a BankID transaction.

Event ids are:

  • WEB_100001, BankID authentication started

    • IDENTIFIER (user trace id)

    • SOURCE_ADDRESS (ip address of device starting transaction)

    • CUSTOMER_IDENTIFIER (if configured)

  • WEB_100002, BankID authentication completed

    • IDENTIFIER (user trace id)

    • SOURCE_ADDRESS (ip address of the BankID device used)

    • SOURCE_USER_NAME (personal number)

    • CUSTOMER_IDENTIFIER (if configured)

  • WEB_100003, BankID authentication failed

    • IDENTIFIER (user trace id)

    • SOURCE_ADDRESS (ip address of the BankID device used)

    • MESSAGE (information)

  • WEB_100004, BankID authentication canceled or expired

    • IDENTIFIER (user trace id)

    • SOURCE_ADDRESS (ip address of the BankID device used)

Data exposed to global state

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

  • givenName

  • surname

  • name

  • personalNumber

  • ipAddress

  • ocsp

  • signature

Note that it is not guaranteed that all parameters hold value.

API

When communicating with the backend this describes the

General requirements

Backend communications are made using AJAX and the HTTP PUT method. Every request need a Content-Type with the value of application/json.

Getting state

Body must conform to the example below.

{
    "type": "state"
}

Starting an authentication

To start authentication send AJAX request.

{
    "type": "start",
    "data": {
    }
}

Cancel a request

A request can be canceled at any time. This is done by sending a cancel request.

{
    "type": "cancel"
}

Response from server

In general, you should expect a server response with http status code 200. Anything else is to be considered an error.

Response body will be in the form of a JSON object. Typically the response looks like:

{
    "bidstatus": "PENDING",
    "qrData": "<data for generating qr>",
    "pollFrequency": 2,
    "autostartToken": "<token>"
}

The property "bidstatus" will contain status. Depending on state additional data may be included in the answer as shown above.

Possible status messages

One of the following status codes is returned based on the current state.

  • ABOUT_TO_START

  • PENDING

  • COMPLETE

  • BID_ERROR

  • ERROR

  • OUTSTANDINGTRANSACTION,

  • NOCLIENT

  • STARTED

  • USERSIGN

  • EXPIREDTRANSACTION

  • STARTFAILED

  • CANCELLED

  • USERCANCEL

  • CERTIFICATEERR
