This section on technical documentation contains information on how to integrate with the services supported by the OpenID Connect Provider from BankID. See the product litterature for non-technical information on features, functions, user experience guidelines and recommendations for such services.

BankID service overview

The BankID service in the OIDC Provider is a multi-tennant BankID service at LoA4 having the capability to host several BankID merchant certificates. An OIDC Client may either be configured with its own BankID merchant certificate, or share a common BankID merchant certificate with other clients.. The BankID service is implemented as two different Identity providers offering support for both Bank netcentric and BankID on mobile.

There are several benefits for merchants integrating BankID over OIDC rather than using a legacy integration via a locally installed BankID-server:

• The integration interface is the same for both BankID netcentric and BankID on mobile. 
• The merchant does not need to implement any GUI for BankID on mobile since it is taken care of by the OIDC Provider itself
• The merchant does not need to implement a selector dialog for netcentric vs. mobil since the OIDC Provider offers such a selector dialogue.
• The integration interface is based on an industry-standard REST API being much more convenient than implementing via the legacy BankID-server.
• The merchant may have access to Value Added Services that are not available via the legacy BankID server.
  

An OIDC Client make use of BankID either via login hints directly in the authorize request of the REST API or via integration with the JS Connector.
