Overview
FAQs
|
The Anakam.CGW™ Credentialing Gateway was designed such that an enterprise could integrate not only the identity of the individual with whom they are doing business electronically, but also the professional credentials – examples include, healthcare credentials, transportation credentials, legal credentials, education credentials, or law enforcement credentials. It is a query-response system built into the Anakam.TFA® platform that enhances the identity proofing and registration process by providing the ability to query a professional credential data source trusted by the enterprise. When the credentialing repository responds, the results may be stored in the repository within the Anakam.TFA platform such that they can be reused as part of the business process and logic for which the authentication was completed.
Customized Query
Anakam.CGW™ Credentialing Gateway is customized to query a professional credential repository with which you have already established a trusted relationship – either internal or external to the enterprise. The query typically occurs after the person completing the identity registration transaction has completed their identity proofing with Anakam.IDP® or another enterprise identity proofing process – once their identity has been confirmed, the professional credentials can be queried specific to that identity.
Flexible and Dynamic
The Anakam.CGW solution is offered as a Web service with the Anakam.TFA application server such that professional credential retrieval and verification can be conducted coincident with Anakam.IDP Identity Proofing and registration for two-factor credentials. As a Web service, Anakam.CGW is flexible and dynamic and can be called at numerous points throughout the identity lifecycle or business workflow as required by your enterprise.
A: Anakam.CGW™ can query both internal and external repositories. Access to an internal credential repository is based on either the customer maintaining their own repository, or based on the allowance of periodic importation of such a repository from an external source.
Q: Does Anakam.CGW™ Credentialing Gateway only query at initial registration, or can it be configured to routinely query to verify non-expiration or non-revocation?A: Anakam.CGW™ can be configured to routinely query to verify non-expiration or non-revocation.
Q: Does Anakam provide professional credential repositories?A: Anakam does not provide professional credential repositories. Instead, Anakam provides an integrated Web service to data stores at professional organizations that manage and maintain these repositories.
Q: What happens if the professional credentials are not up-to-date and the identity does not have professional credentials associated with it?A: This situation may occur when credentials are new, which would be more of an issue with internally-imported credentials. When such an issue occurs, the user will be referred to the Help Desk who will have the ability to make a telephonic query for such information.
