IPV GIPS Postman Integration Guide 

Purpose 

The purpose of this document is to explain how to setup a Postman project to use and test GIPS service APIs.

This Postman project contains requests examples that can be executed against the real service to ease the integration of the service into your application.

Postman Presentation 

Postman is a tool for API development. It is used as a REST and SOAP client.

It offers an intuitive user interface allowing you to:

  • Send SOAP and REST requests

  • Save requests and responses

  • Add tests

  • Create test scenarios

Important Note:

You may have a status with error 415 – Unsupported Media Type. These errors are due to the Postman version you are using, not the IPV engine itself. For example:

  • Some Postman versions do not support empty Multi part request:
alt text
  • Some Postman versions do not support an empty content type in the GET requests:

An important fix was made by the Postman team. Please use version 7.0.6 or later.

Prerequisites 

  • Postman Documentation

  • GIPS API Guide

    GIPS is composed of one REST API with multiple resources necessary to conduct an identity verification:

    • Identities

    • ID Documents

    • Identity attributes

    • Identity evaluation results

    • Biometrics

    The full API is described in API documentation section in the portal.

Sequence Management

There is no imposed sequence to verify an identity with GIPS. However, it's not possible to process sensitive data without having previously notified that the user has consented to it, or make a comparison when there is not reference data submitted yet.

Here is a typical sequence:

alt text

Proof and Pause/Resume

As a reminder, GIPS allows the pause/resume identity while document being in adjudication process or and transaction lifetime has expired.

GIPS also allow the relying service to resume a transaction:

alt text

Data Retention

Data on the end-user (images and personal details for instance) are kept for the time of the ongoing transaction. As soon as the proof is requested, or as soon as the time to live of the transaction is reached, then data from the end-user are no more available on the GIPS server. The time to live of the transaction (so the time to live of the data) is configurable per tenant. When the time to live is reached, neither the relying service nor the end-user will be able to access the transaction. (The request will give back a specific http error code 404, meaning the transaction is no longer available).

Since there is no data retention on the GIPS side, the relying service is in charge of keeping the complete proof locally (in order to send it back to resume a previous transaction).

Exceptions:

  1. GIPS allows a specific configuration per tenant (Activated? Retention time? Ciphered with GIPS certificate?), to keep the proof for screening and investigation reasons. When activated, the proof will be stored if:

    • A get proof is performed by the relying service

    • The transaction reaches its time to live

  2. GIPS allows a specific configuration per tenant (Activated? Retention time? Ciphered with tenant certificate?), to keep the proof for the tenant in case transaction reaches its time to live. For example:

    • End-user starts a new process and submits a passport and a portrait.

    • End-user exits the mobile application or the browser without informing the relying service (so without informing GIPS).

    • After a configurable time to live, GIPS will close the transaction and can keep the proof.

      • If ciphered, only the relying service will be able to decipher it.

      • To retrieve a proof, the relying service has to perform a get Proof as if the transaction was still available.

Postman Installation 

Nota: Do not use the Postman chrome extension because it's not maintained anymore and does not support some functionalities like multipart. A standalone Postman application is required.

  1. Go to the URL: https://www.getpostman.com/apps

  2. Select the Postman version associated with your platform OS

  3. Download the latest version (at least 7.0.6)

  4. Click on: Execute. The installation is done automatically.

alt text
  1. Fill in the following fields, paying close attention.

If you use an IDEMIA private cloud:

Note: Be careful, keys are case-sensitive.

  • Update key “url”: set in the "value" field the URL of the GIPS server that has been provided to you. Example: https://myservice-intg.com/gips

  • Update key “apikey”: set in the "value" field your apikey Example: 22a79d15-3430-46c6-a21c-c266e30fbe8f

alt text
  1. Click on Update and then close the environment window. Other values will be filled automatically during the performed tests.

Testing: Using API Key

  • Objective: Explain how to set the apikey in a Postman environment.

  • Environment:

    • The apikey is used as a header in all requests.

    • The value is taken from configuration parameters.

  • Usage:

    • Open environment quick look.

    • Click on edit.

    • Edit the apikey value to the desired one.

    alt text

Note: The apikey generated for users having a USER_AGENT role has no access to blocking indicator information.

GIPS Tests 

Now that your Postman environment is configured, you can try the proposed requests.

This chapter describes each request present in the Postman project.

Identity 

The objective of this test is to

  • create a new identity and initiate the verification process with IPV
  • resume an identity based on a proof file
  • retrieve the identity status and details
  • retrieve identity status and all indicator details
  • retrieve the identity status and details
  • sets a new context
  • delete an identity

createIdentity

This creates a new identity. This step is required before next steps.

Environment:

If you use an IDEMIA private cloud:

  • url, apikey are used from the Postman environment

Usage:

  1. Open the folder called Identity.

  2. Click on createIdentity.

    • Optional: Add a multipart “context” metadata (key/values). The keys/values will be associated with the identity but has no impact on identity scoring or verification.

    • Optional: In the headers you can set a correlation-id. This identifier shall be unique per identity or per transaction. It gives the ability to make the link between the GIPS internal identity ID and a customer unique ID. See getIdentityFromCorrelationId for more details.

  3. Click Send.

Response:

  • Status shall be: 200 OK to confirm the identity has been created.

  • The response contains a JSON with identity details like the identity ID, the score, etc.

  • The identity ID is automatically filled in the Postman environment variable identityId and will be used on next subsequent calls.

  • The response body contains a status of the created identity.

alt text

Note: Some Postman versions does not allow optional multipart (Postman issue). Please make sure you are using version 7.0.6 or later.

alt text

resumeIdentity

If the portrait is sent before the approval consent is obtained, an error 3001 will be given back synchronously.

By default, consent is mandatory for only PORTRAIT evidence. For example, consent on portraits shall be sent before the portrait itself, otherwise GIPS will not process it for identity evaluation.

  1. Click on Send.

Note: With a RELYING_SERVICE apikey, a score up to 5 can be provided if the attributes are already on your side. In this case, “verified” shall be set to true for the attributes you already know (at least given names, surname, and date of birth otherwise the score will be ignored). If the score is 5 and the given names, surname, and date of birth are at least verified, then then end-user will have to provide only an evidence where the name matches the evidence ATTRIBUTES. However, if the score is 1 and the given names, surname, and date of birth at least are verified then, if the end-user provides an evidence with an higher score (for example a passport verified at level 2) then this evidence will become the reference and, if the attributes does not match, the attributes will be rejected (INVALID).

alt text

Note:

  • For identity cards, both the front and back are required, except for France, Italy, and Romania where the back is optional.

  • For passports, the back are forbidden.

  • For French Resident cards, if the MRZ of resident card starts with “IR” then both the front and back are mandatory, otherwise (“TS”), only the front is required.
