Implementation steps

Identity Hub performs an identity check by comparing entered data against known data sources and then applying rules to interpret the results returned by the data sources.

Your application passes the required data to the Identity Hub web services in XML format. Identity Hub then checks this input against the data sources specified in the process configuration, applies the rules and then returns messages to show whether the check was successful.

To perform an identity check, your application must perform these basic steps:

1. Connect to Identity Hub - you must access WASP, obtain a security token and then use this token for authentication.

Connecting to Identity Hub

2. Collect the input details from the user - the exact data required is determined by the checks you are performing and the data sources you are accessing. Both of these are defined in the process configuration.

Getting the input data

3. Call the ExecuteRequest service to perform the identification check - the service returns the decision, and, if requested, details about the results.
