Go to production

Important

To set up DigiD CombiConnect in production, you first need to set up a connection in a pre-production (sandbox) environment and get it approved by Logius. So, make sure you have completed the steps, as described in the Setup up DigiD CombiConnect for your pre-production environment.

Prerequisites​

Before you can prepare your application for production, you must have completed the prerequisite steps:

1. Create a production account​

To connect to DigiD CombiConnect in production, you need to set up a production account with a custom domain in the Signicat Dashboard. You can always reuse a production account that you created previously. To create a new production account, do the following:

  1. Go to Signicat Dashboard > Organisation.
  2. Click + Add account.
  3. Under Account Name, enter the name of your account, then tick the box for Production account.
  4. Select Create to create the new account.

In the next screen, select Add new domain to add a custom domain and follow the instruction below.

Add a custom domain​

To add a custom domain, follow the instructions for Custom domains. Then, return to this page to continue with the integration.

Custom domain

Note that you must add a custom domain. Accounts with a Signicat subdomain (for example, mycompany.app.signicat.com) cannot be used to connect to DigiD.

Using Let's Encrypt certificates

If you wish to use Let's Encrypt certificates as TLS/SSL server certificates for DigiD, you must use a .nl domain. Learn more in the Logius documentation.

2. Upload PKIo certificates​

Order certificates

This step assumes that you have already purchased a PKIoverheid certificate for your production environment. Learn more about this in the Order certificates documentation.

For the complete documentation index, see llms.txt

Once you have purchased and received the PKIo certificates from a certificate provider, you need to upload the public part of the certificate (.pem or .cer file extension) to the Signicat Dashboard.

To upload your PKIo certificate to the Signicat Dashboard, do the following:

  1. Go to Signicat Dashboard > Organisation.
  2. Select your account. Make sure to choose the same account you used to create the CSR.
  3. Under Account management, select Signing Certificates.
  4. In the Certificate Signing Requests tab, hover over the row of your CSR and click the kebab menu (three vertical dots) under the Actions column. Then, click Upload Certificate.
  5. In the Upload Certificate dialog, paste the content of your certificate directly in the text box or click the Upload Certificate button and choose the certificate from your local filesystem.
  6. Configure optional fields:
    • Tags: You can categorise your certificate by entering a tag name.
    • Notifications: To notify others in your team, click Add email and provide an email address.
    Email verification required

    Note that the email address need to be verified before notifications can be sent.

  7. To complete the certificate upload, click Confirm.

Alternatively, you can send your certificate to us by creating a support ticket in the Signicat Dashboard or to your assigned onboarding manager by email.

Certificate activation time

Please allow up to 4 hours for the certificates to become active and ready for use. If you require expedited processing, contact us by creating a support ticket in the Signicat Dashboard and request priority handling.

Where to find your PKIo certificates in the Signicat Dashboard

When you upload a PKIo certificate, the (public) PKIo certificate is stored in the Signicat Dashboard. To view your existing certificates, do the following:

  1. Go to Signicat Dashboard > Products > eID and Wallet Hub.
  2. In the left-side menu, navigate to Advanced > Certificates.
  3. Here, you can review your active certificates and access more details, such as issuer and validity window.

3. Set up a connection​

Follow the steps 1-6 in the Set up DigiD CombiConnect guide. Then, come back to this page to activate your connection in production.

4. Activate your connection​

Submit a request for activation of your connection to the DigiD CombiConnect production environment in the DigiD Wijzigingsformulier. In the form, select "Ik wil mijn productieaansluiting activeren".

5. Ask Logius to approve your connection​

After you set up the connection in production, you need to test it and submit a request for approval by Logius.

6. Audit and assessment​

Your DigiD CombiConnect integration in production should adhere to security standards to ensure secure end-user authentication. Logius performs audits and checks to ensure your infrastructure and connection comply with such requirements.

Your DigiD CombiConnect integration must undergo an official assessment by an external and certified DigiD CombiConnect auditor within two months after your application is live in production.

Additionally, organisations that use DigiD CombiConnect must conduct an annual IT security assessment.

Arrange the audits according to the specifications in the DigiD ICT-beveiligingsassessments guide.

Signicat RSO report

Signicat, as a third-party provisioning services for DigiD CombiConnect, undergoes a Rapporten voor de Serviceorganisatie (RSO, formerly TPM) yearly assessment. For this we to plan the RSO audit as early as possible in the year. We can also provide you with Signicat's own DigiD Generieke RSO report to use in your audit.

Note that the yearly required assessment planning for municipalities in NL and for DigiD CombiConnect occurs at different times of the year and might lead to some delays. Therefore, we recommend you plan sufficient time around the assessment with municipalities' own audits.
