bulkCleanupDigipass (Command)

Prev Next

Availability: OneSpan Authentication Server 3.27 and later

Scenario: Administration

Support:  full-sdk 

The bulkCleanupDigipass command deletes authenticators and/or authenticator instances based on a cleanup strategy (specified with the cleanupstrategy parameters. Possible cleanup strategies are:

  • DigipassInstancesReusedPNID. Deletes all authenticator instances that have a reused DIGIPASS Push Notification Identifier (PNID) assigned. The PNID is considered reused if another authenticator instance for the same authenticator license exists, which uses the same PNID but has a higher sequence number.
  • DigipassInstancesWithoutPNID. Deletes all authenticator instances that have no DIGIPASS Push Notification Identifier (PNID) assigned and were never used (last authentication time is not set). The PNID is implicitly set when an authenticator instance is bound to a mobile app. The last authentication time is initially set when the authenticator instance is effectively activated. Having no PNID and no last authentication time set for an authenticator instance, indicates very likely that the activation of that particular instance was not completed.
  • DigipassNotAuthenticatedSince. Deletes all authenticators and authenticator instances that were not used at least once for a specified number of days (retention period). The usage is determined by the date and time the authenticator was used the last time for a successful authentication. It is only set and updated if the authenticator is assigned and used by the respective user.

Note that authenticator licenses are not processed or deleted by this command.

The command schedules a server task that processes the authenticators and authenticator instances in the specified search range. The search is done in blocks of 10,000 records. The deletion of unused authenticators and authenticator instances is done in blocks of 100 records per database transaction.

Parameters

  Table: bulkCleanupDigipass input parameters
Parameter nameData typeDescription
sessionIDString

Required. The session identifier of the current administrative session. The logon command returns this identifier after a successful logon (see logon (Command)).

cleanupstrategyDigipassCleanupStrategyEnum

Required. The strategy to determine the items that should be deleted.

Possible values:

  • DigipassInstancesReusedPNID.
  • DigipassInstancesWithoutPNID.
  • DigipassNotAuthenticatedSince.
domainString

Optional. The domain to search for authenticators or authenticator instances to process. 

If omitted, all domains within the administrative scope of the session owner are searched.

orgunitString

Optional. The organizational unit (OU) to search for authenticators or authenticator instances to process.

If omitted, all organizational units within the administrative scope of the administrative session owner are searched.

searchdownoupathBoolean

Optional. Specifies whether the specified organizational unit (OU) and all child OUs should be searched.

If omitted and the search scope includes an OU, either implicitly because the administrative session owner is member of an OU or explicitly because orgunit is specified, this value is handled as true.

ageUnsigned Integer

Optional. The time period in days during which an authenticator must be used at least once to be considered active. Only applicable if cleanupstrategy is set to DigipassNotAuthenticatedSince.

dryrunBoolean

Optional. If set to true, the command is executed but only searches for authenticators and authenticator instances that match the strategy without deleting any data. An overview of the items that would be deleted is stored in the status information of the respective server task when completed.

The server task generates a CSV report to provide a complete and detailed summary of the items that would be deleted. That report can be downloaded via reportfiledownloadmtom (Command) with the REPORTFILEFLD_REPORTFILE_ID attribute. To get that attribute value, use reportFileQuery (Command) with the task ID returned by bulkCleanupDigipass. If you set notify to Email, the CSV report is also attached to the notification mail.

If omitted or set to false, the command is executed regularly (deleting data).

Availability: 3.28 and later

modeTaskModeEnum

Required. Specifies the server on which the task should run.

Possible values:

  • Specific. A specific server executes the task. Typically the server that is used to schedule the task.
  • Any. Any server will execute the task, but only one server. For immediate non-scheduled tasks, this is typically the server that is used to schedule the task. For scheduled tasks a random server will run the task.
  • All. All servers will execute the task, meaning the task will be run as many times as servers are available.
scheduleScheduleChoice

Optional. Specifies the schedule that the task should run. You can also specify whether and how to notify the user when the task is completed with the notify parameter.

notifyTaskNotifyDeliveryMethodEnum

Optional. The notification delivery method to notify the user on completion of the task. The required contact information must be defined in the respective user account. This option is only effective if schedule is set. If omitted, the user will not be notified.

Possible values:

  • Email
  • SMS
