Test in Dashboard
This page describes how to test Auðkenni App in the Dashboard with your sandbox account before you start integrating in production. In this way you can learn more about available options and how to connect to the eID.
Setup for testing
Sign up and add a domain
If you don't have an account already, sign up for a free Signicat account by completing the following initial preparations:
- Sign up to the Signicat Dashboard and register your profile. For more details, see the Get started with Signicat guide.
- In the Dashboard, make sure you have set up an organisation and an account.
- Additionally, to use this product, you must set up a domain.
We recommend you create a sandbox account to test our services before going live. Sandbox and production accounts must be set up separately.
Add Auðkenni App
Once you have signed up and added a domain, you can add Auðkenni App to the list of supported eIDs.
- In the Signicat Dashboard, navigate to Products > eID Hub > eIDs.
- Select + Add new in the top right.
- Choose the eID from the list. Add any required configuration, then select Add.
- Now, review that the eID is available and set to "Active" in the eIDs list.
