Description
INI is an upload key management order type. INI is used in subscriber initialization. Use INI to send the bank-technical public certificate of a customer to the bank. The order data is compressed and base64-encoded.
Self-signed certificates cannot be used for electronic signatures and consequently for user initialization (INI order type). An EBICS Client user using self-signed certificates for identification and authentication and encryption, has to use CA certificates for electronic signatures.
Parameters
| Parameter | Description and value |
|---|---|
| HostID | The bank ID or the host ID of the bank to which the EBICS Client user submitted the order. It is a unique ID for the bank in the bank's system. |
| HostUrlAlias | When configuring a bank profile, you can specify multiple host URLs and set one host URL as the default. If you want to send a request to a host URL that is not the default URL, then, specify a value for this parameter. |
| PartnerID | The partner ID associated with the user ID. |
| UserID | Unique ID of the user in the bank's system, which corresponds to the user created in the EBICS Client dashboard. |
| SystemID | User ID of the technical user. The INI order type can be submitted by a technical user who is a delegate of the non-techncial or human user. Hence, the value of the UserID is the same as the value of the systemID. |
| orderIdPrefix | EBICS Client allocates a unique order ID to each order based on the bank, user
ID, and the order type. The client generates the order ID as per EBICS specifications. The order ID
is a 4-digit alphanumeric ID. You can specify the first character of the order ID. The second,
third, and fourth characters of the order ID are alphanumeric in an ascending order (A-Z or
0-9). This parameter is used with EBICS protocol version H003 only. |
| SecurityMedium | A 4-digit security number in the 0100 to 0499 range. The value cannot be changed for INI, HIA, and HPB order types. |
