How to specify input that the user would otherwise be queried for
In some login flows, user-specific data other than actual login details are needed to complete the authentication.
Examples include the CPR number in Denmark for personal MitID and SSN ("personnummer") in Sweden for BankID on another device.
By default the user is prompted for this data when needed, but if you would like to avoid these dialogs, you can specify the values up-front in the request for authentication, via the login_hint
query parameter. This works for both OpenID Connect and WS-Federation.
The actual support for controlling the input data varies by eID method:
login_hint=sub:<CPR>
where <CPR>
has the format DDMMYYXXXX
login_hint=vatid:DK<CVR>
, additional detailslogin_hint=sub:<SSN>
where <SSN>
has the format YYYYMMDDXXXX
login_hint=BIM:<PHONENUMBER>:<BIRTHDATE>
where <PHONENUMBER>
has 8 digits and <BIRTHDATE>
has the format DDMMYY
login_hint=BID:<SSN>
where <SSN>
has the format DDMMYYXXXXX
login_hint=BIS:<SSN>
where <SSN>
has the format DDMMYYXXXXX
Note that you should not include the angle brackets, so for example a Danish MitID prefilled CPR
would be passed like this: login_hint=sub:2201891234
