Prerequisites

Required steps

To integrate with eHerkenning in the Signicat eID and Wallet Hub, start with the prerequisite guides listed below.

This guide assumes you have completed the following steps:

1. Initial preparations.
2. Manage certificates.

Sandbox and production accounts

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

Add eHerkenning

To add a new eID in your Signicat account, you need to configure and activate the eID in the Dashboard. Once Signicat has given you access to eHerkenning, you can activate it in the Dashboard.

To do this:

1. In the Signicat Dashboard, navigate to Products > eID and Wallet Hub > eIDs.
2. Select + Add new.
3. Choose eHerkenning from the list.

Now, configure the eHerkenning settings, as explained in the Set up eHerkenning configuration section below.

In the eHerkenning configuration page, you can adjust the following settings:

Save eHerkenning configuration

To save your configuration and add eHerkenning to your eIDs, select Add.

You should now view eHerkenning listed with status "Active" in the eIDs page.

Register your eHerkenning configuration

After you add eHerkenning, a metadata file is generated. The file contains information about the configuration.

Please send us the metadata file to register your connection in the eHerkenning network. To do this:

1. In the Signicat Dashboard, navigate to Products > eID and Wallet Hub > eIDs.
2. Select eHerkenning.
3. In the eHerkenning configuration page, click Get Signicat metadata to view the metadata file in XML format.
4. Copy the URL of your metadata file and send this to us by creating a support ticket in the Signicat Dashboard.

Registering your configuration in the eHerkenning network allows you to define and create a service in the service catalogue.
