Generate Activation Message Operation

The generate activation message operation allows an administrator to generate Activation Message 1 for a particular authenticator license. This operation is used as the first step in the multi-device activation (MDA) process. It returns Activation Message 1. To generate the device code, Activation Message 1 must be transferred to the authenticator. This can be done encoded as a QR code or a color QR code, which the user scans with the camera of the device.

The generate activation message operation is followed by an add device operation (see Add device operation).

To execute this operation, the registered client application must send a digipassExecute SOAP request to OneSpan Authentication Server, where the value for the cmd element is  DIGIPASSCMD_GENERATE_ACTIVATION_MESSAGE.

At a minimum, this SOAP command requires the following set of field attributes to perform this operation:

• DIGIPASSFLD_SERNO

For more information about the required and optional attributes for this command, see the OneSpan Authentication Server SDK SOAP Reference.
