Example Data Request Flow · NDID Platform

Disclaimer: The purpose of this page is to explain the PoC for data-request scenario outlined in Technical overview for better understanding for further implementation. This document is not the definitive source of information, also the PoC mention here is may or may not use in production system.

Before we start

Please read Example authentication flow before read this document.

Similar to IdP's registration in authentication flow, as-client-app will automatically register itself and its service list to platform every time it start. In production, however, it will only register once.

Also, for backward compatability, AS's tendermint node is not acting as validator.

To run the example flow

You need to run those processes in authentication flow and run 3 more processes for AS role.

Again, if you want to run all processes on the same machine without VM, you can use these scripts to start addtional processes (3 terminals).

At $GOPATH/src/github.com/ndidplatform/smart-contract

as-abci

go run abci/server.go tcp://127.0.0.1:46002

as-tendermint

tendermint --home ./config/tendermint/AS unsafe_reset_all && \
tendermint --home ./config/tendermint/AS node --consensus.create_empty_blocks=false

Wait for as-abci to display

BeginBlock: 1
EndBlock
Commit

before proceeding to api directory

as-api

ROLE=as \
NODE_ID=as1 \
MQ_CONTACT_IP=127.0.0.1 \
MQ_BINDING_PORT=5557 \
SERVER_PORT=8082 \
AS_ID=AS1 \
npm start

After starting AS's api, wait for Commit to display in ap-abci then you can start the flow.

Test the flow with our examples

For those who run everything in same machine, use this script to start AS client.

API_SERVER_ADDRESS=http://localhost:8082 \
NDID_API_CALLBACK_IP=localhost \
NDID_API_CALLBACK_PORT=5003 \
npm start

Start rp-client-app and idp-client-app as in authentication-only flow. In RP webpage, instead of press Request Identity Verification as in authentication flow, press Request Identity Verification with Data Request. The only visible different in UI is that IdP's webpage will display what data RP request (which is mockup in this client).

When authentication complete for data-request, as-client-app will automatically return mock data (which you can change or add delay to simulate AS delay). You can see this data in RP's api terminal as well as rp-client-app.
