Third party credential service

info

The AXIS A1601 network door controller is not supported by this API.

Third party credential service guide

The third party credential service handles credentials that are issued by third-party providers, as opposed to the normal credential management provided by the Access Control service.

HID Mobile Access is currently the only supported third-party credential provider. It allows for creating "Mobile IDs" that are installed on a user’s mobile phone. Together with compatible card readers, the Mobile IDs can then replace physical access cards as means to gain entry to access controlled areas.

To use the third-party credential service, the recommended set-up is to designate one door controller as a gateway towards the third-party credential provider. All communication with the third-party provider is then done through this designated unit and the resulting credentials are then propagated out to remaining door controllers in the system. Note: the door controller used as a gateway must be allowed outbound internet access in order to work properly.

A typical system overview using HID mobile credential service and AXIS A1001 is shown as below:

  1. The ADP creates a HID user on the AXIS A1001.

  2. That user get sent to the HID cloud.

  3. An invitation is sent to the user’s e-mail. The user then installs the HID Mobile Access app on to a phone and enters the invitation code received in the e-mail.

  4. Once the invitation is accepted, a Mobile ID is pushed to the mobile phone and the AXIS A1001 is notified of the newly generated CardNr. This information is then forwarded to the ADP via events.

  5. Credentials using HID Mobile ID’s can now be added to all the AXIS A1001’s.

Set up the initial system

This section describes how to configure a third-party credential provider. HID Mobile Access will be used as credential provider in the examples.

Get supported providers

It is important to check the supported providers for ThirdPartyCredential since the upcoming API requests needs to contain the correct ProviderName that should be called.

Request

{"axtpc:GetProviders":{}
}

Request

<axtpc:GetProviders>
</axtpc:GetProviders>

Response

{"Providers":[{
"Name": "ProviderName",
"Value": "HIDMobileAccess",
"Type": "string",
"Enums": ["HIDMobileAccess"]
}]
}

Response

<axtpc:GetProvidersResponse>
<axtpc:Providers>
<axtpc:Name>ProviderName</axtpc:Name>

<axtpc:DependOnValue></axtpc:DependOnValue>
<axtpc:Description></axtpc:Description>
</axtpc:Providers>
</axtpc:GetProvidersResponse>

In the response from GetProviders the provider HIDMobileAccess is supported.

Configuring a credential provider

With a valid provider name it is then possible to set a configuration for that credential provider.

The ProviderName need to match the name returned from GetProviders. ProviderActions is a list of pt:Attribute elements that can contain specific actions for the provider. Only one configuration can exist for each supported provider, subsequent calls for SetProviderConfiguration for the same ProviderName will overwrite the existing one.

The following configuration possibilities exists for HID Mobile access:

  • ClientId String containing the client id for the account provided by HID Mobile Access.
  • ClientSecret String containing the password for the HID Mobile Access account.
  • ProxyURL String containing the URL for the proxy to use (Optional).
  • ProxyPort String containing the port for the proxy to use (Optional).
  • ProxyUser String containing the user name for connecting to the proxy (Optional).
  • ProxyPassword String containing the password for the proxy user (Optional).
  • DefaultPartNumberToken String specifying the part number to be used if no part number is explicitly used in SetThirdPartyCredential (Optional).
  • PortalApiURL String containing the URL for the HID Mobile Access service (Optional).
  • IdpURL String containing the URL for the HID Mobile Access identification service (Optional).
  • CardIdDataName String containing the name of the Id Data that should be created when a card gets issued to the Credential (Optional, default is CardNr).

Managing third-party credentials

A third-party credential contains a normal access control credential as well as additional information from the third-party provider.

Creating third-party credentials

SetThirdPartyCredential will create a new third-party user and a Credential linked to that at the same time. Since the "Credential" part of the ThirdPartyCredential is the same as the normal access control credential it is used exactly the same way as a normal credential in the access control system. Also included in the ThirdPartyCredential structure is an Options field that is used to enter provider specific options for the Credential. For HID Mobile Access there exists an option to specify the part number that should be used to generate the mobile id (i.e. the card number). If that option is not used the default part number that was configured in axtpc:SetProviderConfiguration will be used to generate the mobile id. After the call to SetThirdPartyCredential the Credential will get the status NotActivated until a card has been issued from the provider (in this case HID). It is important to not try to specify any Id Data with the same name as the provider will use (CardNr by default) since that Id Data will be overwritten when the provider issues the card.

For HID Mobile Access there will be no card created until the invitation has been accepted. The invitation will be sent to the e-mail specified in the Credential attribute with the name Email. There are three attributes that needs to be set in order to create a new HID Mobile user:

  • Email The e-mail that should be used to send the invitation e-mail.
  • FirstName The first name of the user.
  • LastName The last name of the user.

Once the invitation has been accepted by entering the invitation code in a HID Mobile access application a new card number will be saved to the Credential and the status will be changed to Active. This generally takes a couple of minutes after the invitation has been accepted.

The SetThirdPartyCredential request has some optional ProviderActions:

  • {"Name":"ForceUpdate"} Force an update to HID Mobile service. Will overwrite any old user that uses the same e-mail.
  • {"Name":"SendInvitationOnly"} No writing to the access control credential database is performed, only sends a new invitation e-mail.
  • {"Name":"NoLocalModification"} Do not update the access control credential once the card number has been issued. An event containing the card details will still be sent.

Retrieving third-party credentials

It is possible to get credential information with the normal access control API (i.e. pacsaxis:GetCredential), but to get additional provider specific info there exists axtpc:GetThirdPartyCredentialbyEmail, axtpc:GetThirdPartyCredential and axtpc:GetThirdPartyCredentialList APIs. To get information about the ThirdPartyCredential that was previously created it is possible to use either token axtpc:GetThirdPartyCredential or e-mail axtpc:GetThirdPartyCredentialByEmail as reference.

The Options field in the response contains provider specific information about the third-party credential. HID Mobile Access currently has two fields:

  • PartNumberToken The part number that was used when creating the card number.
  • InvitationCode The invitation code that is sent to the e-mail addres of the credential.

If the ProviderAction has ForceUpdate set then the call will also contact the provider to retrieve information from the remote servers. This should not be needed in daily use since the information is stored locally on the AXIS A1001.
