Migrating All Users

The typical steps to migrate all users are:

1. User logs in to your application.

   The user logs in to your application by using your existing authentication method.

2. Your application collects the required information from the user to create the credential.

   Your application can display the appropriate pages to the user. For example, you can prompt the user to set the password for ArcotID PKI or you can set the existing password as the ArcotID PKI password, and collect questions and answers if Question and Answer (QnA) is used for secondary authentication.

3. Your application invokes the CreateCredential operation of the ArcotWebFortIssuanceSvc service.

   This operation creates ArcotID PKI for the user.

   See "Creating Credentials" for more information on the API used for creating credentials for the users.

4. AuthMinder returns the result.

   If the create operation was successful, then user’s ArcotID PKI is returned.

5. Your application downloads the ArcotID PKI on the user’s system.

   If the create operation was successful, then the application downloads the ArcotID PKI to the end-user’s system without any user interaction.
