2.1 Setting up a credential profile

Note: This feature is now deprecated. For further information see the MyID CMS Authenticator App section in the Release Notes.

You must set up a credential profile for the MyID Authenticator ID.

To set up a credential profile:

1. In MyID Desktop, log on as an administrator.
2. From the Configuration category, click Credential Profiles.
3. Click New.

4. Type a Name for the credential profile.

   For example, Mobile Authentication ID.

5. In Card Encoding, select Identity Agent.

   If you want to request and collect your MyID Authenticator identity using the Self-Service Request Portal (SSRP), you must also select the Derived Credential option. For more information on using the SSRP, see the Setting up the credential profiles for derived credentials section in the Derived Credentials Self-Service Request Portal document.

6. In Device Profiles, from the Card Format drop-down list select Mobile.
7. Click Next.

8. Select one certificate.

   The certificate must be capable of being used as a digital signature; for example, an authentication or signing certificate. This certificate is used to sign the communications between the MyID Verification Service and the MyID Authenticator App.

   Note: There is an option to select a container for the certificate – do not select a container. For the MyID Authenticator app to use the certificate, it must be in the Intercede keystore, not the System Store, so leave the option as the Default option.

9. Click Next.

10. Select the roles associated with the credential profile.

    See the Linking credential profiles to roles section in the Administration Guide for details.

11. Click Next.
12. Do not select any card layouts, then click Next.
13. Add any Comments, then click Next to complete the workflow.
