Configuration of User Visible Data per application

User visible data is a text displayed to the user during authentication with BankID, with the purpose of providing context for the authentication and to enable users to detect identification errors and averting fraud attempts.

Usage in SSO

In order to customize the userVisibleData parameter for the Swedish BankID Authentication, please update the BANK_ID_TEXT internationalization message that can be found in the i18n/uas.properties file.

Customization

The BANK_ID_TEXT message can have the application display name injected. To do so, insert the placeholder {0} at the desired location. For example:

BANK_ID_TEXT = You are trying to authenticate to {0}. Please confirm the operation.

If your configured application display name is My application then the user will see:

You are trying to authenticate to My application. Please confirm the operation.

Application display name

Display name can be provided in one of the following ways:

• from metadata:

  • client_name field for OAuth2/OICD

  • DisplayName field for SAML

  • if above is not present:

    • hostname

      • redirect_uri field for Oauth2/OICD

      • assertionConsumerUrl field for SAML

• from ftn_spname request parameter if the AllowFtnSpname is enabled (see https://ubisecuredev.atlassian.net/l/cp/cxk6skXX for details)
