Test in Dashboard

This page describes how to test Skilríki á síma in the Signicat Dashboard using a 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 do not have an account already, then you need to sign up to the Signicat Dashboard for free and complete the initial preparations. To do this:

  1. Sign up to the Signicat Dashboard and register your profile.
  2. Ensure that you have created an organisation.
  3. Create an account. To do this:
    1. Go to Signicat Dashboard > Organisation, then select + Add account.
    2. Enter an account name, choose the type of account that you want to create, then select Create.
  4. Create a domain. To do this:
    1. Go to Signicat Dashboard > Settings > Domain management, then select + Add domain.
    2. To create a standard domain, enter a domain name. Then, select Add domain.
    3. To create a custom domain, follow the instructions in the Custom domains documentation.
Account types

We recommend that you create a sandbox account to test our services before going live. Sandbox and production accounts must be set up separately.

Add Skilríki á síma​

Once you have signed up and added a domain, you can add Skilríki á síma to the list of supported eIDs.

  1. In the Signicat Dashboard, navigate to Products > eID Hub > eIDs.
  2. Select + Add new in the top right.
  3. Choose the eID from the list. Add any required configuration, then select Add.
  4. Now, review that the eID is available and set to "Active" in the eIDs list.

Request a SIM card​

To be able to test the whole login flow, you need access to a SIM card with an e-certificate. Please, contact Auðkenni to get started with this.

Test certificates in SIM cards

Since it's not possible to have both test certificates and prod certificates on the same SIM card, you need to use separate SIM cards for testing purposes. Note that Auðkenni does not provide public test data, so you need access to a valid SIM card to test your integration.

For more information about the Auðkenni test environments, see the Auðkenni documentation.

Test Skilríki á síma​

In your sandbox account, you can test the Skilríki á síma with a few simple steps:

  1. In the Signicat Dashboard, navigate to Products > eID Hub > eIDs.
  2. Select Test eIDs in the top right to start a test session.
  3. Optional, if other eIDs are active in your account: Select Skilríki á síma from the list of identity providers.
  4. Enter your mobile phone number.
  5. The Skilríki á síma displays a verification code in the login flow and asks you to verify this code on your mobile phone. Select OK or Accept on your mobile phone.
  6. Enter your personal PIN code (PIN1 for authentication and PIN2 for signing) and select OK or Send.

After testing a successful authentication, you can review the user data on the screen.

Below, you can see what the flow looks like:
