Advanced Verified ID setup is the classic way of setting up Verified ID where you, as an admin, manually configure various components. This includes setting up Azure Key Vault, registering your decentralized ID, and verifying your domain. The advanced setup gives you full control over the configuration process, ensuring that every detail meets your organization's specific requirements. It's ideal for enterprises that need a customized setup.
Advanced setup involves the following steps:
Configure Azure Key Vault: Securely store and manage the keys used for signing and verifying credentials.
Register Decentralized ID: Create and register your decentralized identifier (DID) to establish a trusted identity.
Verify Domain: Ensure your domain is correctly linked to your DID, providing a trusted source for your credentials.
In this tutorial, you learn how to:
Create an Azure Key Vault instance.
Configure your the Verified ID service using the advanced setup.
Register an application in Microsoft Entra ID.
The following diagram illustrates the Verified ID architecture and the component you configure.
Prerequisites
You need an Azure tenant with an active subscription. If you don't have an Azure subscription, create one for free.
The Azure Key Vault that you use to setup the Verified ID service must have Key Vault Access Policy for its Permission model. There is currently a limitation if the Key Vault has Azure role-based access control
Azure Key Vault is a cloud service that enables the secure storage and access management of secrets and keys. The Verified ID service stores public and private keys in Azure Key Vault. These keys are used to sign and verify credentials.
If you don't have an Azure Key Vault instance available, follow these steps to create a key vault using the Azure portal. The Azure Key Vault that you use to set up the Verified ID service must have Key Vault Access Policy for its Permission model instead of Azure role-based access control.
ملاحظة
By default, the vault's creator account is the only one with access. The Verified ID service needs access to the key vault. You must authenticate your key vault, allowing the account used during configuration to create and delete keys. The account used during configuration also requires permissions to sign so that it can create the domain binding for Verified ID. If you use the same account while testing, modify the default policy to grant the account sign permission, in addition to the default permissions granted to vault creators.
Manage access to the key vault
Before you can set up Verified ID, you need Key Vault access. Provide access permissions to your key vault for both the Verified ID administrator account, and for the Request Service API principal that you created.
After you create your key vault, Verifiable Credentials generates a set of keys used to provide message security. These keys are stored in Key Vault. You use a key set for signing verifiable credentials.
From the left menu, select Overview under Verified ID.
From the middle menu, select Setup tab and then select Advanced Setup.
Select Configure organization settings
Set up your organization by providing the following information:
Organization name: Enter a name to reference your business within Verified IDs. Your customers don't see this name.
Trusted domain: Enter a domain name. The name you specify is added to a service endpoint in your decentralized identity (DID) document. The domain is what binds your DID to something tangible that the user might know about your business. Microsoft Authenticator and other digital wallets use this information to validate that your DID is linked to your domain. If the wallet can verify the DID, it displays a verified symbol. If the wallet can't verify the DID, it informs the user that the credential issuer is an organization it couldn't validate.
هام
The domain can't be a redirect. Otherwise, the DID and domain can't be linked. Make sure to use HTTPS for the domain. For example: https://did.woodgrove.com.
Please also ensure that the Key Vault's Permission Model is set to Vault Access Policy.
Key vault: Select the key vault that you created earlier.
Select Save.
Register an application in Microsoft Entra ID
Your application needs to get access tokens when it wants to call into Microsoft Entra Verified ID so it can issue or verify credentials. To get access tokens, you have to register an application and grant API permission for the Verified ID Request Service. For example, use the following steps for a web application:
From the middle menu, select Register decentralized ID to register your DID document, as per instructions in article How to register your decentralized ID for did:web. You must complete this step before you can continue to verify your domain.
Once that you have successfully completed the verification steps, and have green checkmarks on all three steps, you are ready to continue to the next tutorial.
