CA Strong Authentication Web Services Guide › Performing Credential Operations

Performing Credential Operations

This chapter describes the credential lifecycle operations that are supported by the ArcotWebFortIssuanceSvc service. The operations listed in this chapter can be performed on all credentials that are supported by AuthMinder, and can be performed by using any of the following method:

• By using AuthMinder SDKs

  This mode enables you to automate the credential management operations programmatically.

• By using Administration Console

  Administration Console is a Web-based application and is typically suitable for Customer Support Representatives (CSRs), who handle the user requests (such as, disabling the credential, enabling the credential, or resetting the credential validity.)

Note: Refer to CA AuthMinder Administration Guide for more information on using Administration Console.

This section covers the following credential lifecycle operations:

• Before You Proceed
• Creating Credentials
• Disabling Credentials
• Enabling Credentials
• Resetting Credentials
• Fetching Credential Details
• Reissuing Credentials
• Resetting Credential Validity
• Resetting Custom Attributes
• Fetching QnA Configuration
• Setting Unsigned Attributes
• Deleting Unsigned Attributes
• Adding Elements to ArcotID PKI Key Bag
• Fetching ArcotID PKI Key Bag Elements
• Deleting ArcotID PKI Key Bag Elements
• Downloading Credentials
• Deleting Credentials

To perform the operations discussed in this chapter, you need to use the ArcotWebFortIssuanceSvc.wsdl file.

Note: Each operation discussed in this chapter can be performed simultaneously by using different credentials. If the operation fails for a single credential, then the operations for other credentials are also considered invalid. For example, if you are creating ArcotID PKI, QnA, and OTP, and the ArcotID PKI and OTP creation was successful, while the QnA creation failed, then all the three credentials have to be created again.
