How do I integrate with your authorization flow?

Please refer to our Technical Guidelines, specifically the ones dedicated to SCA Decoupled and SCA Redirect

 

 

How can I update the Redirect URL for my App?

At the moment, we don't support functionality for updating Apps (other than adding subscriptions). So to update the Redirect URL for your App, you'll need to register a new App with the new Redirect URL. The functionality to update the Redirect URL for an existing App is in our road map for future improvements.

How does the SCA Decoupled authentication flow work in case we don't support QR codes?

The BankID app always needs to be started with an autoStartToken. The autoStartToken is used in two ways:

1) If the Mobile BankID app is on a different device, you have to build a QR code based on the autoStartToken.
2) If the Mobile BankID is on the same device, you can use the autoStartToken as a query-parameter.
