Guest access customers banking

rlandire — Fri, 26 Jan 2018 00:01:50 GMT

Hi experts,

Please your help, I have a customer which is a bank. They want to provide wif access to their clients. In this order of ideas they are thinking on the following flow:

- the customer introduces his identity number in a digital kiosk.

- the digital kiosk prints a voucher with user and password.

We would like to propose ISE on this case. In this order of ideas I have the following questions:

- Which identity stores are supported by ISE in addition to LDAP and SQL ?

- Is it possible to ISE to query specifics fields on a database ? the idea here is using specific contents of the bank database (for example last name as user and identity number as password, but the database can contains more fields)

Any comment is more than welcome.

Instead of having ISE do any special integration why not just use the ERS APIs to create the guest ID.

Have them input identity number, the kiosk will pull their first name and last name from the banking system. The program will craft a username from the first character of the first name and their last name. Then it can make an API to ISE to see if that guest username exists. If no, it can create a guest account with a random password. If it does add a number to the end of the username, check if it exists, and then create it.

Something like that should be easy to write if they are already writing the kiosk front end.

Paul is correct

ISE guest portals natively don’t have the ability to query external databases for other parameters to use for logging in or lookup

They can only use the username and password

What you’re looking to do would require advanced customization and integration effort if possible
