The following prerequisites apply:

• Servers must have the following installations:
  
  • Smart ID Messaging (Hermod version 2.3.1 or later) on premises or as a service. See Deploy Smart ID.
  • Identity Manager must be installed. See Install Identity Manager. 
• Clients must have the following installations:
  • Fully updated Windows 10 
  • Smart ID Desktop App version 1.0 or later. See Install and upgrade Smart ID Desktop App.
  • The virtual smart card (VSC) function must be initialized. For more information, see Create virtual smart card. 

1. Set up communication between Identity Manager and Smart ID Messaging over HTTPS. See Integrate Identity Manager with Smart ID Messaging.  

Popups must be allowed for the running Identity Manager server to be able to call the Smart ID Desktop App plugout URL. Most browsers block them by default and show a very subtle hint that a popup was blocked.

If the Smart ID Desktop App plugout URL is not called, check your browser's URL bar for any indication about blocked popups and add an exception.

To troubleshoot Smart ID Desktop App, consult the logfile. Here are some common errors and suggestions how to fix them:

Error: Virtual Smart Card creation failed! --> System.Exception: The requested operation requires elevation. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800702E4)
