14 REST web service notifications

You can configure MyID to send a notification to a REST web service for device lifecycle events. For example, you can update a physical access control system (PACS) to enable or disable access for a particular card when it is issued or managed in MyID, or inform connected systems such as a workflow automation platform, endpoint management solution, or stock control system when credentials have been issued to a person.

MyID provides standard notifications for issuing, canceling, enabling, and disabling devices. To implement each of these notifications, you must set up an external system within MyID that provides details of your REST web service, including authentication details, and a mapping file that describes the format of the payload that you want to send to the web service endpoint. See section 14.1, Configuring an external system for REST notifications.

MyID provides sample mapping files for each of the standard notifications. You can write your REST web service to consume the payload provided by these notifications, or use the provided mapping files as a basis for your own requirements. See section 14.2, Standard REST notifications for details of the data provided by the standard notifications.

For information on creating your own mapping files, see section 14.3, Creating a mapping file.

You can manage REST web service notifications using the Notifications Management workflow; see section 13.5, Using the Notifications Management workflow for details. From the Notification Type drop-down list, select Rest Service to search for notifications sent to REST web services.
