According to the WInnForum requirements, certain CBSDs require that a Certified Professional
Installer (CPI) validates the installation parameters before they are sent to the SAS.
In the SAS Portal API, we need to validate that a given user has a valid CPI certification before
they can call the
SignDevice()
method. We achieve this with the following two-step validation method:
A user with the role_cpi role calls the
GenerateSecret()
method, which returns a secret.
The user signs the secret with their private key and uses the
ValidateInstaller()
method to send the encoded version back as a
JWT, along with their CPI ID and
the original secret. For more details about token creation, see
JSON Web Token format.
The CPI role privileges become effective only after a user with the role_cpi role
successfully completes the CPI validation flow.
