Set up Smart ID Messaging in Digital Access

The following prerequisites apply:

• Smart ID Messaging is installed on-premises or consumed as a service via Nexus GO Messaging. 

• If Nexus GO Messaging is used, the access point must be protected by a public certificate, see Add certificates. When deploying a server certificate, its certificate chain up to the root shall also be added in CA certificates.

• If the Smart ID Mobile App profile data was first created in Digital Access component, that must first be migrated to Smart ID Messaging or Nexus GO Messaging. See Digital Access component news.

1. Log in to Digital Access Admin with an administrator account.

If you use Nexus GO Messaging, then you first need to request an API key from Nexus.

To request a Nexus GO Messaging API key:

1. Find your Nexus GO Messaging callback URL:

   1. In Digital Access Admin, go to Manage System > Policy Services.

   2. Click Manage Global Policy Service Settings....

   3. Copy Personal Messaging Callback URL, and replace <access-point-public-host> with your DNS name.

      
      
      

2. Request an API key from Nexus by sending an email with the callback URL to Nexus support: support@nexusgroup.com.
   
   When you have received a reply, you can go on to the following tasks.

To set up the connection to Smart ID Messaging (Personal Messaging):

1. In Digital Access Admin, go to Manage system > Policy Services.

2. Click Manage Global Policy Service Settings....

3. Check Enable Provisioning.

4. Enter Provisioning Settings, that will apply to all policy services. Click the ?-sign for more information.

   1. In Personal Messaging URL, enter a valid URL:

      1. For Smart ID Messaging on-premises, enter the URL as it has been configured in Smart ID Messaging.
         In this example, the default path is shown. If you have changed the path when you installed Smart ID Messaging, enter your configured path here. For more information, see Deploy Smart ID: 
         
         

         
         
         

      2. For Nexus GO Messaging, enter the following URL:

         
         
         

   2. In Image API URL, replace <access-point-public-host> with your DNS name.

   3. Enter an X API Key:

      1. For Smart ID Messaging on-premises, enter an API Key that has been generated in Smart ID Messaging. For more information on how to generate a key, see Add API user and callback URL in Hermod.

      2. For Nexus GO Messaging, enter the X API key as received by Nexus.

   4. If required, enter your own Attestation Key, which is used to sign provisioning responses.
      There is a default Attestation Key stored, but it can be required to upload your own key, for example if you use the Smart ID Mobile SDK.

   5. If you upgrade from version 5.12 or earlier of Digital Access component, and already use Smart ID Mobile App, you need to migrate these profiles to Smart ID Messaging (see Digital Access component news). Enter a Messaging Service Public URL. This is the URL that the existing Smart ID Mobile App profiles will be redirected to at the very first call after the migration. After that, the Smart ID Mobile App profile will memorize the new URL and use it for later calls.
      
      

      1. For Smart ID Messaging on-premises, enter the URL as it has been configured in Smart ID Messaging.
         In this example, the default path is shown. If you have changed the path when you installed Smart ID Messaging, enter your configured path here. For more information, see Deploy Smart ID:

         
         
         

      2. For Nexus GO Messaging:

To make Digital Access component trust Smart ID Messaging, the Smart ID Messaging certificate authority (CA) must be added in Digital Access component:

1. Locate the CA certificate files:

   1. For on-premises installation of Smart ID Messaging, locate the SSL certificate that was used to set up Smart ID Messaging.

   2. For Nexus GO Messaging, download the following CA certificate file:

      Digicert intermediate CA: Digicert_SHA2_intermediate.cer

2. Add the CA in Digital Access component by uploading the CA certificate files. See the section Add certificate authority in Add certificates in Digital Access.
