Smart Login set up checklist

Use this checklist to help you set up Smart Login with Identity as a Service. Along with this Identity as a Service Administrator Help, you also need the following documentation to complete Smart Login set up for Identity as a Service:

Identity as a Service User Guide (online help)

Identity as a Service Service Provider Guide (required for Service Provider administrators only)

Entrust Identity Help (available in the Entrust Identity app)

Step #

Task

Supporting Documentation and Notes

Completed

1

To use Smart Login, your Identity as a Service account must include a Smart Login entitlement.

Note: Smart Login entitlements are assigned by your Service Provider administrator.

Service Provider Online Help  
2

Ensure 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. See the section, Add and activate a mobile smart credential in the Identity as a Service User Help.

 
3

Users activate their smart credential.

See the section, Add and activate a mobile smart credential  in the Identity as a Service User Help.  
4 Configure a Certificate Authority

See Manage Certificate Authorities.

If you are using a Microsoft Certificate Authority, you must create and configure a Gateway and add a directory.

If you are using an Entrust Managed PKI CA, creating a Gateway and adding a directory is optional.

 
5 Set the default digital ID configurations in the PIV template.

 See Configure smart credential definitions.

 
6 Map 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-premise Active directory.

 

8

Configure 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 Identity as a Service Certificate Authority resides on the Domain Controller, then this step is not required.
