In this section, you can find information to help you connect to itsme® in a production account.

If you want to integrate with itsme® in production, contact us to get you all set:

Create a production account​

To connect to itsme® in production, you need to create a production account with a custom certificate domain in the Signicat Dashboard. If you already have a production account set up in the Dashboard, you may skip this section.

To create a production account in your Signicat organisation, go to the Signicat Dashboard and:

  1. Select the name of your organisation at the top left of the screen and then select Manage.
  2. Under Organisation management, select Add Account.
  3. Enter the name of your account under Account Name and tick the box for Production account.
  4. Select Create to create a new account.

Now, you must associate a custom domain with an SSL/TLS certificate to the production account, as explained below.

Add a custom domain with self-managed certificate​

To connect to itsme® in production, you must add a custom domain with a self-managed SSL/TLS certificate to your Signicat account. Self-managed SSL/TLS certificates are certificates that you purchase with a Certificate Authority (CA), provide to Signicat in the Dashboard, and renew yourself.

To add a custom domain with a self-managed SSL/TLS certificate, follow the steps in the Custom domain with self-managed certificate documentation.

Supported certificates

itsme® accepts connections only with the following certificate types:

  • Organization Validated (OV)
  • Extended Validation (EV)

You must purchase a certificate of one of the above types. itsme® does not support connections with domain-validated (DV) certificates (for example, issued by Let's Encrypt).

Request access to itsme®​

Before you can start connecting to itsme®, you need to receive access to itsme® in the Signicat Dashboard. To do this, contact our Sales department.

Now, follow the steps to connect with the authentication protocol of your choice:

Set up itsme with OIDC
Integrate with itsme® using OpenID Connect
Set up itsme with REST API
Integrate with itsme® using Signicat Authentication REST API

To get help with your integration, you can contact us.

Add itsme® button to your application​

To allow your users to authenticate with itsme®, you need to create a button on your application. See the Button design guide.
