1 Introduction

The Credential Web Service is an API for MyID^® that supports the following:

• Allow external sources to request the issuance of Mobile Devices and Microsoft Virtual Smart Cards (VSCs) by MyID.

• Add and remove Additional Identities from MyID users.

• Unlock smart cards and tokens that support challenge/response unlocking.

This API contains no MyID authentication and relies instead on platform authentication such as mutual SSL on IIS. For information relating to configuring SSL on IIS, see the Configuring SSL/TLS (HTTPS) section in the Securing Websites and Web Services document.
