The Common Identity API helps authenticate private resources or sign documents digitally.

Connect thru .NET SDK (optional)
If you have a .NET application for your business, you can leverage the SDK experience using the nuget command below. SDK will handle the Identity API Authentication part out of the box.
Install-Package LinkMobility.IdentityApi.Client -version 1.0.4 -Source https://www.myget.org/F/linknorway/api/v3/index.json
This feed is not public, hence you would need to configure your nuget.config page as described here.
Identity API Authentication
In order to authenticate against Identity API you will need Basic Authentication.
The credentials you will need are the same as you have to provide for Next Portal.
Basic authentication is a very simple authentication scheme that is built into the HTTP protocol. The client sends HTTP requests with the Authorization header that contains the Basic word followed by a space and a base64-encoded username:password string. For example, a header containing the demo / p@55w0rd credentials would be encoded as:
Authorization: Basic ZGVtbzpwQDU1dzByZA==
