Smart Login set up checklist

Use this checklist with the following documentation to set up Smart Login with IDaaS:

StepTaskSupporting Documentation and Notes
1

To use Smart Login, your IDaaS account must include a Smart Login entitlement. Note: Smart Login entitlements are assigned by your Service Provider Administrator.

Service Provider documentation

2Ensure that users have a smart credential authenticator.
  • Assign a smart credential to users (see Manage smart credentials). Note: Users can also add their own smart credential authenticator. See step 10.

  • Optional: Modify the Registration settings to automatically enroll a smart credential for new users. See Configure user registration.

  • Users add their own smart credential authenticator.

3Users activate their smart credential.
4Configure a Certificate Authority
5Set the default digital ID configurations in the PIV template.

See Configure smart credential definitions.

6Map a User Principal Name user attribute for Smart Login.

If you have synced user data with your directory (see Trigger on-demand synchronization), this is autopopulated. If you created your own custom smart credential definition, you must complete this step. See Map a User Principal Name attribute for Smart Login.

7

Map a Security ID user attribute for Smart Login to Microsoft Windows. The Security ID is a value that uniquely identifies users in your Windows environment.

IDaaS smart credentials support encoding a Security ID value into certificates associated with a user's smart credentials. When using these smart credentials to perform Windows smart card login, this value in the certificate identifies the user in Windows. See Configure an on-premises Active directory.

8Configure the Domain Controller to allow Smart Login.

Install Microsoft Certificate Services allows smart card login to domain clients.

9

Configure the Domain Controller to trust the Certificate Authority that issues the smart credential.

See Configure the Domain Controller to trust the issuing CA. Note: If the IDaaS Certificate Authority resides on the Domain Controller, then this step is not required.
