Test in Dashboard
This page describes how to test Norwegian BankID 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 domain
- Sign up to the Signicat Dashboard. An organisation and sandbox account is automatically created for you.
- Add a domain to your sandbox account, as described in the Initial setup instructions.

Once you have signed up and added a domain, you can add Norwegian BankID 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.
