CA AuthMinder Java Developer's Guide › Performing Issuance Operations › Credential Operations

Credential Operations

This section describes the credential lifecycle operations that are supported by the Issuance API. 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 the Administration Console.

This section covers the following credential lifecycle operations:

• Preparing Additional Input
• Preparing the Input
• Creating Credentials
• Disabling Credentials
• Enabling Credentials
• Resetting Credentials
• Fetching Credential Details
• Downloading Credentials
• Reissuing Credentials
• Resetting Credential Validity
• Resetting Custom Attributes
• Fetching QnA Configuration
• Adding Elements to ArcotID PKI Key Bag
• Fetching ArcotID PKI Key Bag Elements
• Deleting ArcotID PKI Key Bag Elements
• Setting Unsigned Attributes
• Deleting Unsigned Attributes
• Deleting Credentials
• Reading the Output
• Credential Operations Summary

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.
