SignChallengeEx2()

CA ArcotID PKI Client Reference Guide › ArcotID PKI Client API Reference › ArcotID PKI Client Javascript APIs › SignChallengeEx2()

SignChallengeEx2()

This API selects an ArcotID PKI from a list of ArcotID PKIs available to it, based on the input parameters (userNameOrAlias, appctxName, orgName) and uses it to sign the incoming challenge. ArcotID PKI selection is based on the lookup mode that is set, see the "IsArcotIDAvailableEx()" section.

Note: The content and format of the signed challenge returned by SignChallengeEx2() is same as that returned by SignChallengeEx(). If you want to use the appctx and alias for logging, then you must pass this information to AuthMinder.

Syntax

SignChallengeEx2(challenge, PIN, userNameOrAlias, appctxName, orgName)

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
challenge	string	The encoded challenge string.
PIN	string	The ArcotID PKI password.
userNameorAlias	string	User name and the alias, which are the unique user identifier associated with the Arcot card. Note: The alias is obtained from the user and stored in the ArcotID PKI as an attribute with the specified application context.
appctxName	string	The name of the application context to which the user is logging in to. Application context is supplied by the ArcotID PKI Issuance application during ArcotID PKI issuance.
orgName	string	The name of the AuthMinder organization to which the user belongs.

Returns

Base-64 encoded string that includes the digital signature and the Arcot certificate, which contains the encrypted public key.

var arcotClient = new ArcotClient();
var orgName = "safebank";
var appctx = "safebank-online";
var challengeString = "gCcBwHe/XkIxMjM0";
var userAlias" = "jdoe-sb";
var pinString = "123456";

var response = arcotClient.SignChallengeEx2(challengeString, pinString, userAlias, appctx, orgName);
