Steps for Conformance certification submission
Getting the test completed
The first step is to ensure your implementation passed all the tests of the conformance test of the profile you are targeting. Each profile has a different logistics for running it, check the resource specific page under instruction page for the steps on running the tests
Getting a Payment Code
Every certification profile has a different fee depending upon your company is member or non-member of OpenID Foundation. Before proceeding, check with your company is there is a desire to became member of OIDF and take a seat on discussing and driving the evolution of open standards.
To start the payment process, head to Certification Payment page at https://openid.net/foundation/members/certifications/new. This page will not require an account to be created, but if you are member, check the login link on it to enable the member fee.
Entity name, version and email for payment code
The Certification Payment page requires you to enter Name of Entity, Implementer’s email and Deployment Name&Version.
The Entity name and Deployment Name and version are used to identify your company when we publish your certification under Certification list page. The Entity name might be your company name, trademark, or whatever makes more sense for your scenario, while the Deployment name and version identifies the actual software with its version that are declared as conformant.
While OpenID Foundation set no requirement for the Entity name, the Deployment name & version is required to identify a specific point in time for the declaration of conformance. The version number is reasonable for COTS products, but it might not be applicable to Saas products. For scenarios where there is no version number, the requirement is to identify the approximate date, using current month and year.
The email is required to be the address of a valid inbox, as the Payment Code will be sent to that email.
Certification profile
The profiles for Brazil and KSA FAPI profiles requires you to select the “FAPI”, while the emerging Openbanking initiatives, like ConnectID, UAE, Colombia and Chile, requires you to select “FAPI2” certification type.
The IDPs certification type is applicable for deployments that are transmitting data, while the RPs are certification for products federating with those.
Payment options
For the payment, there are 2 options: via invoice, or Paypal.
If you click the “pay with Paypal”, you will be redirect to that provider and the once completed, a payment code will be shown. Be aware that PayPal will interact directly to your card processing (if credit card used) and the exchange rate might not be the one you are expecting.
If you click “request an invoice”, a payment code with be shown and a manual process on OpenID Foundation will kick in. Our staff will create a invoice and send to the implementer’s email. This will take up to 2 days for OIDF Team to send it to you an invoice.
