Article summary

To enroll users' mobile phones to our RapidIdentity mobile application, you can send the enrollment text and/or email directly from the ONE Admin Portal or the Self Service Portal. The message received will contain all of the necessary links and information for users to be self-sufficient in setting up their account.

If you wish to customize the enrollment message, please see our Customizing The Mobile Enrollment Message article.

In the event that Provision URL does not work, users can enroll their account manually. Please see the following steps and example video that demonstrate this process.

Manually Adding Mobile MFA Account

  1. Download the RapidIdentity mobile app from the Google Play or Apple store.

  2. In the RapidIdentity mobile app, press the plus button (+) in the top-right.

  5. When entering the Server URL, it's not necessary to include HTTPS (hence the placeholder text). Type your specified service URL. Press "Submit" when ready.

Troubleshooting

"PIN Invalid" Error

This appears when a user is re-enrolling a mobile account.

Because they have enrolled their mobile account on the phone in the past, the PIN set the first time is still saved in the system and what is expected by the RapidIdentity app.

Solution: The best way around this is to have the user completely delete the app from their phone and re-download it. Once re-downloaded, send the user a new enrollment text or email to generate a new authorization code for their user.

Remove Device

In rare instances, when a user deletes their account from their RapidIdentity mobile application,

the device (the user's mobile phone) does not get properly removed from their user in the database. This can cause issues when trying to re-enroll.

  1. In the Admin Portal, look up the user and click their name to pull up their info page.
  2. At the bottom of the list, click "Device Info".

  1. A new pop-up will appear that displays their device's information. Click "Delete". If the device was successfully removed already, it will appear blank saying "No Records Found". A user can also have multiple devices enrolled, and will appear accordingly; this example only contains one device.

  1. Once removed, the window will stay open but display "No Records Found". You can now close this pop-up.
