Overview
Provides support for Higgins clients, including the Higgins Browser Extension.
When the user's browser with the Higgins extension lands on a site that requires a Digital Identity for authentication, HBX sends a 'getDigitalIdentity' request to RP Protocol Support passing the RP Policy along as a parameter. RP Protocol Support uses I-Card Selector Service to get the list of all of the users cards (as well as the degree to which they match the RP policy). It packages up all the graphical and other information required to display the I-Card selector UI and sends this to either the ISS Web UI or the ISS Client UI component.
After the user selects an I-Card the ISS Web UI or ISS Client UI returns the selection, retreives the I-Card and uses its metadata appropriately to retreive either a security token or a connection to an IdAS Context.
It then communicates the required identity information to the RP using the appropriate protocol or approach (see Services below).
Services
Here are a list of the services that are provided:
- New account creation
- Verification of HBX authentication
- Returns the Terms of Service of the Higgins service text on request
- HTML form filling - If RP Protocol Support has a form filling script for the current page&site, it can retreive data from the appropriate I-Card, and pass this data along with the script to HBX so that HBX can fill in forms on that page
- HBML scraping - If RP Protocol Support has an HTML scraping script for the current page&site, pass this script to HBX and retreive from HBX attribute data that it can store in a site-specific IdASCard I-Card
- RSS support - RP Protocol Support can create an RSS-SSE feed that publishes the minimal subset of attributes required/supported by the RP site from the appropriate I-Card. It can also subscribe to a reverse RSS-SSE feed and use the data to update the a site-specific IdASCard I-Card
