5 Authenticating for embedded Operator Client screens

You can embed MyID Operator Client screens in your own intranet pages. Each screen has a dedicated URL that you can use to specify the page; for example, the Add Person screen, or a list of search results, or the View Person screen for a particular person.

See the Using the browser location bar section in the MyID Operator Client guide for details of Operator Client URLs.

You can embed the screen in an iframe, authenticate to MyID, then carry out any required actions.

However, if you intend to view more than one screen, you may not want to have to authenticate to the MyID Operator Client for each screen. Instead, you can configure the MyID authentication server to allow you to request an authentication token, which you can then post to the iframe containing the MyID Operator Client screen.

The process is as follows:

1. Configure the authentication server.

   See section 5.1, Configuring web.oauth2 for user-based authentication.

2. Authenticate to MyID and obtain an access token.

   See section 5.2, Obtaining an access token.

3. Post the access token to the embedded Operator Client screen.

   See section 5.3, Posting the access token.
