Provisioning ArcotID PKI Accounts

To create an account for the users and save the account on their mobile, you must invoke the provisionAccount() method in the AID class. The location where the account is saved depends on the mobile where the account is being downloaded to. The following table lists the default storage location for different mobiles that ArcotID PKI SDK supports:

Mobiles	Parameter Used
Google Android-based mobiles	Database
Apple iOS-based mobiles	Database
RIM BlackBerry-based mobiles	Record Management Store (RMS)
JavaScript-based mobiles	Web browser local storage Note: If the Web browser does not support local storage, then Accounts are stored in a Cookie.

Notes:

Other than the default location, accounts can also be stored in a custom location. Refer to Choosing Custom Storage Medium for more information on how to store accounts in a custom location.
ArcotID PKI SDK also provides built-in functions to store accounts in the mobile memory, see Storing Accounts in Memory for more information.
