Using a proxy server with Agent API & Quick Login API

From build 2025-02-05, a new mode is available for integrating Quick Login API and Agent API when using a proxy to access the Neuron®. The web page may reside on an external server, and it wants to integrate with both Quick Login API and Agent API on a Neuron® different from the web server. In this case, the web-client only or backend modes are not sufficient, as they cannot integrate the two APIs seamlessly. Session mode is not available either, since the HTTP session held by the client, is between the client and the web server, not the Neuron®.

A new mode is now availble: A Session-proxy mode. allows the client to create a Session ID implicitly, by adding a agentApiTimeout property in the initial request made to the Neuron® from the proxy. The Neuron® will implicitly call the QuickLoginServiceId(Request,Timeout) function, and return the Service ID in the response to the proxy.

Note: The proxy needs to enable cookies in its communication with the Neuron®, to maintain the session correctly. The proxy will need to call the Agent API over the same session, to be able to access the Quick Login done in this mode.

For more information, see the Quick Login API reference documentation.

Quick-Admin-Login

It is now possible to associate a legal ID (or a Neuro-Access ID) with an administrative account on the Neuron®, from the build 2025-01-21. The login page now shows an animated QR code that you can can using the Neuro-Access app.

To associate a Neuro-Access ID (or legal ID) to a user account, edit the corresponding user. You will see three fields that have to be provided: The current Legal ID and the corresponding personal number and country code. You can get these from quicklog.in if not known.

Once the information has been provided, you can login to the administrative console of the Neuron® using the corresponding legal ID.

Updating ID

As legal identities are limited in time, there will come a point when an ID needs to be updated. This will obsolete the old ID, which will be replaced by a new one. As long as this process is followed (i.e. old ID is obsoleted) and the new ID contains the same personal number and country code you can also use the new ID to login to the same user account. The legal identity reference will be correspondingly updated, and an event will be logged, for reference.

Event Log

All administrative logins are logged to the event log, so too the logins using Neuro-Access digital identities. The message text and corresponding properties may be different. Any problems such as duplicate legal identities associeted with multiple accounts, etc., will also be displayed in the event log.

Using Neuro-Access with Quick-Login and related services

As of build 2023-12-19 you can use your Neuro-Access App together with the Quick-Login feature of the TAG Neuron®, and all related services (if the services authorize it), such as the Community, Neuro-Babel, NeuroFoundry, etc.

The main difference when using a simple Neuro-Access identity, is that there will be no photo associated with the account. Instead, a Neuro-Access logotype will be displayed, as in this article. There will be no personal name information available either. Instead, the account name of the identity is displayed. Some services might restrict access to features for Neuro-Access accounts. The Community service for instance, requires a personal identity to be associated with the account, in order to participate in voting, as an example.

QuickLogin Token lifespan

The QuickLogin API token lifespan has been incremented to 5 minutes (from the earlier one minute). This gives users more time to review the identity of the trust provider host when loggin in. The change is rolled out in the Neuron® with build time of 2023-12-19.

Note: When embedding the Quick-Login API in your web site, you indicate a purpose string that is sent to the user. If the token life-time is mentioned in this purpose string, it needs to be updated to reflect the new life-time of the request.

Neuro-Access App (Xamarin Project)

The Xamarin-implementation of our new white-label Neuro-Access App is now available on GitHub: NeuroAccessXamarin. It is a fork of the IdApp repository, but will contain a much scaled down version of the App, permitting the user to get access to online (and physical) resources via TAG signatures and the QuickLogin API.
