Registrations Services

View product v1.8.2

To bind mobile device with a particular user ID, the user needs to create a registration. Registration is created via an “activation code”. After the user scans the code, the registration needs to be committed. At any point, you can obtain the registration status for a user with given user ID and registration ID.

Possible Error Codes

Error Code HTTP Status Code Description
ERROR_REGISTRATION_NOT_FOUND 400 Indicates no registration is found for the provided user or the user does not have access to the registrations.
ERROR_REGISTRATION_NOT_ALLOWED 400 Indicates registration is not allowed because another registration is already in progress for the user.
ERROR_REGISTRATION_CHANGE 400 Indicates the registration is in an invalid state for the requested action.
ERROR_REQUEST 400 Indicates the request did not pass structural validation (mandatory field is null, invalid field type, etc.).
HTTP_401 401 Unauthorized access attempt. This occurs when invalid credentials are provided.
ERROR_INTERNAL_API 500 An internal server error occurred, potentially due to misconfiguration. Check your deployment configuration for errors.

Services

post /v2/registrations Create New Registration

Initiate a new registration for provided user ID. The service returns a fully prepared content for the registration QR code - you can simply grab the response and encode it using your preferred QR code generator library.

When creating registration, you can also set OTP value and OTP validation mode. OTP represents additional credentials used during the activation flow.

Request

{
  "userId": "$USER_ID",
  "appId": "$APP_ID",
  "otp": "$OTP",
  "otpValidation": "$OTP_VALIDATION",
  "flags": [
    "$FLAG"
  ],
  "timestampRegistrationExpire": "$TIMESTAMP_REGISTRATION_EXPIRE"
}
Query Params
Param Type Description
incompleteStatusCheck boolean Indicates if the call should check if a registration is already in progress and return error if it is. Default: false
Request Params
Attribute Type Description
userId* String ID of a user for whom to create new registration.
appId* String ID of an application.
otpValidation String The way OTP is presented during the process, can be NONE, ON_KEY_EXCHANGE or ON_COMMIT (default: NONE).
otp String Optional OTP value.
flags String[] Flags which should be stored together with the registration record.
timestampRegistrationExpire DateTime An optional timestamp indicating the timeframe by which the registration process must start.

Response

During successful registration, the API will return the activation code data. You can map the activationQrCodeData attribute in the response directly to the QR code data. Additionally, a registrationId value is returned which can be used later on when referring to the registration record. In PowerAuth server this value is stored as the activationId record.

get /v2/registrations/{registrationId} Get Registration Detail

Get the registration detail for a given registration identifier.

Request

Path Params
Param Type Description
registrationId* String ID of registration record.

Response

The response body attributes depend on the registration status. There are four possible response structures:

  • Created Registration
  • Pending Commit Registration
  • Active Registration
  • Blocked Registration
  • Removed Registration
Created Registration

The registration was just created, no other activity occurred. The expected step at this stage is exchange between mobile authenticator and server-side components. This step is initiated by scanning the activation QR code with a mobile app.

{
  "registrationId": "8819ac31-ad29-40d1-ac60-1b54293abe61",

The exchange between mobile authenticator and server-side components is completed and activation is ready to be committed, which makes it usable for operation approval. In this state, the activation fingerprint contains the value representing exchanged cryptographic material. You can show the value in both mobile app and web interface to let user check that the exchange completed successfully.
