The SurePassID Mobile API Connector is a server designed to act as an intermediary (proxy) between mobile apps that request authentication services from SurePassID authentication server that runs deep behind the company firewall. The mobile API connector supports the same API as the SurePassID authentication server so that apps that are built for “trusted zone” can be moved into the ”unstrusted zone” of the mobile world and remain secure.

The system is distributed as a Windows set-up (msi) install that you run on an existing Windows server in the DMZ and operates on 32-bit or 64-bit Windows server.

The Mobile API Connector supports on-premises and hybrid, private and public cloud installations of SurePassID Authentication Server and supports the full compliment of SurePassID security token and technologies such as traditional OATH OTP password authentication, authentication push technologies, as well as new technologies such as wearables, biometrics, and native FIDO U2F authentication on iOS, Android and other mobile operating systems.

You need to use the SurePassID Mobile API Connector if you using the following SurePassID technologies:

  • SurePassID Mobile Authenticator
  • SurePassID U2F & OATH Native Mobile SDK
  • SurePassID ServicePass Self-Service Portal (SurePassID Authentication Server on-premises; cloud optional)
  • Developing third-party apps that require SurePassID authentication services

Please consult the SurePassID Mobile API Connector Install Guide for more information.
