This manual provides an overview of how to use XignUp, the portal for Digital Identities from XiTrust. Please note: You are also welcome to take a look at XignUp User Documentation. This will help you understand where your users are in the identification process when they have questions. Our regularly updated FAQ also provides a summary of the most frequently asked questions and their answers.


XignUp Admin Documentation

In the XignUp Admin documentation you will find all relevant information about XignUp for administrators. If you have any questions or suggestions regarding the documentation, please contact your XignUp contact person or XiTrust Support at support@xitrust.com.

1. What is XignUp?

XignUp is a portal from XiTrust that enables {{glossary.Digital Identity}} to be issued quickly and easily . The so-called xIDENTITIES are issued in cooperation with A-Trust, the Austrian trust centre for digital identities. With an xIDENTITY, you can digitally sign documents, whether in MOXIS or via other platforms.

XiTip
XiTrust+ A-Trust = xIDENTITY
Digital identities that are issued via another trust centre, such as D-Trust, are not referred to as xIDENTITY.

2. Registration with XignUp

Step 1: After entering your initial login details, you will be asked to change your password (see Figure 1) to activate your user account . It is important that you create a secure password. You will then be automatically redirected to the login page, where you should enter your user name and password as described in Chapter 3 in order to successfully master the initial access to XignUp.

4 The XignUp portal: Understanding and optimising the admin interface

The admin interface of the XignUp portal consists of various segments. While the dashboard provides an initial overview , you have the option of analysing the data stored by the system in the Evaluations area. The following chapters will introduce you to the individual components in detail.

 

4.1 Introduction to navigation and settings

The dashboard, shown in Figure 6, forms the centre of the admin interface of the XignUp portal. It appears immediately after logging in to give you an immediate overview. From this point, you can navigate to the various areas of the XignUp portal. In this chapter you will find instructions on how to navigate safely in XignUp and how to customise the portal to your individual requirements. If you are already familiar with these, please skip straight to chapter 4.2, where you will find a detailed description of the dashboard.

 

4.1.1 The Burger Menu

If you are not currently using the XignUp portal, please log out of it. This can be done quickly and easily by clicking on the corresponding [Logout] button.

4.2 The XignUp Dashboard

The dashboard (see Figure 9) is the centrepiece of the admin interface of the XignUp portal. It is displayed immediately after logging in so that you are immediately informed about the limit, the number and the status of the registration links . This chapter provides you with an overview of the dashboard and how to use it optimally.

 

4.2.1 How to monitor the status of registration links, identifications and certificates

The dashboard consists of two sections. The first shows you an overview of all orders and certificates. The second allows you to create one-time links.

image-20241202-093632.png

Figure 9: XignUp dashboard. The highlighted line provides information about the identification limit, the number of available links and the total number of certificates issued.

In the first line of the dashboard (see Figure 10) you will find (from left to right) an overview of the following data:

  • Identification limit: This number shows you the limit of your total available links. It is set individually by XiTrust.

  • Available links: Here you can see the available number of registration links that can (still) be created.

  • Certificate exhibitions (total): In this field you will find the number of successfully completed and therefore billable certificate exhibitions.

image-20241202-093351.png

Figure 10: XignUp dashboard. The highlighted timeline provides information about the identification limit, available links and total certificate issues.

In the second line of the dashboard (see Figure 11) you will find (from left to right) an overview of the following data:

  • Open registration links: This number shows you the number of valid registration links.

  • Identifications started: This field provides information that the data transfer has been transferred to the identity provider and the link to the identification has been created.

  • Certificates in progress: Here you can see the number of successfully completed identifications. In this case, the certificate has not yet been issued.

image-20241202-093218.png

Figure 11 XignUp dashboard. The highlighted line provides information about the open registration links, the identifications that have been started and the certificates in progress.

4.2.2 How to create a one-time link to register a digital identity

A one-time link allows a person to register online for a digital identity as soon as the data has been transferred to the identity provider and the link for identification has been created.

 

XiTip
Please note that the person has 30 days after the link has been generated to register online for a digital identity .

image-20241202-093045.png

Figure 12: The bottom section allows you to create one-time links for registering digital identities.

To create a one-time link, please proceed as follows:

Step 1: Please select a trust centre using the drop-down menu. At the moment (as of 05/2024) ATRUST is the only choice available.

Step 2: Next, please select an ID provider. The selection of ID providers is currently (as of 05/2024) limited to NECT.

Step 3: Click on the [Generate link] button to create the one-time link. This serves the person who receives it as the basis for registering a digital identity.
