Setting a Security Question Answer

To set the security answer, complete the following steps:

1. Establish the wallet and credential manager clients.

   Copy

   CredentialManager cm = ...; WalletId walletId = ...;

   Note: The application ID is not necessary for setting up criteria based on security questions and answers.

2. Set up search criteria based on security questions and credential type answers (the constant is CRED_ELEMENT_TYPE_SQ) and walletId:

   Copy

   Criteria[] criteria = {
   new Criteria(CCMConstants.CRITERIA_CRED_TYPE, CCMConstants.CRITERIA_COMPARISON_EQUAL, CCMConstants.CRED_ID_TYPE_SQ),
   new Criteria(CCMConstants. CRITERIA_CRED_PARENT_WALLET, CCMConstants.CRITERIA_COMPARISON_EQUAL,
   walletId.getId())
   };

   Note: If more than one credential is returned, then an error has occurred.

3. Get credential IDs based on supplied search criteria.

   Copy

   CredentialId[] credIds = cm.findCredentialIds(criteria, maxItem);

4. At this point, there are two possibilities:

   • Either the security question answers have been provisioned (and can therefore be updated), or

   • The required security question answers required must be imported.

   If the security question answers have already been provisioned (and can be updated), then make sure that the following conditions are met:

   • Get credentials based on credential IDs:

     Copy

     if (credIds.length == 1){
     Credential[] creds = cm.getCredentials(credIds);

   • Using the profile ID, get the Input Requirements for the update.

     Copy

     EntryTemplate[] entries = cm.getProfileDynamicEntries(
     creds[0].getProfileId());

   • For each entry, set the security question answer:

     Copy

     for (int i = 0; i < entries.length; i++) {
     // Display the question
     System.out.println(entries[i].getLabel()");
     // Get the answer from the standard input or in another way
     String answer = .........;
     //Set the security question answer entries[i].setValue(answer);
     }

   • Once all necessary entries have been set, submit the change by invoking updateCredential:

     Copy

     cm.updateCredential (credIds[0], CCMConstants.ACTION_ID_CRED_REPLACE, entries);

   If security question answers are not already provisioned, then the required answers must be imported. To do this, make sure that the following conditions are met:

   • Create a new array of CredentialElements. For each CredentialElement set the ID to the key corresponding to that Entry. For each CredentialElement, assign the security question answer as its value:

     Copy

     for (int i = 0; i < entries.length; i++) {
     // Display the question
     System.out.println(entries[i].getLabel()");
     // Get theanswer from the standard input or other ways
     String answer = .........;
     System.out.println(entries[i].getLabel() + " : " +
     answer);
     CredentialElement credEl = new CredentialElement(); credEl.setId(entries[i].getKey()); credEl.setIsReference(false); credEl.setValue(answer);
     credElList.add(credEl);
     }

   • Once the CredentialElement array has been populated with the necessary entries, instantiate a new Credential object, assign it to the CredentialElements, and invoke the Import method:

     Copy

     Credential[] creds = { new Credential() }; creds[0].setProfileId(credProfIds[0]); creds[0].setCredentialElements(credElList.toArray(
     new CredentialElement[credElList.size()]));
     cm.importCredentials(walletId, creds);
