Simplified enrollment of the Login App

This option is included in version 7.0 and later.

The enrollment can be performed in the Login App itself, and the user does not need to scan the QR code in the User Portal.

The user simply opens the Login App and enter the user’s email address and performs authentication.

This requires a public DNS entry that starts with “psdiscover”. Example: “psdiscover.domain.com”.

Also required is a matching certificate, or certificate with this name included or wildcard option.

Access Gateway configuration

If no Listener for Login App exists, please follow previous steps to set up authentication methods and configure Pointsharp ID Server for use with Login App.

If a Listener for Login App already exists – there are two options.

First option: Create a new Listener that starts with “psdiscover.*.*” and add both the enrollment and login options into that new Listener. Remove the old Login App Listener (disable it in the Access Gateway GUI until verified that the new Listener works).

Second option: Keep current Login App Listener and only create a new Listener for the Enrollment process. The Listener must start with “psdiscover.*.*”. Follow the steps below for both scenarios.
