Technical implementation

Have we sparked your interest, and are you now wondering how to implement a DocCheck Login? Here you'll find all the information you need.

With your personal DocCheck user account, you gain access to DocCheck Access. There, you can create a company account, book and manage licenses, create login clients within projects, invite additional administrators, and much more. We therefore recommend creating your free company account right away and setting up a Basic login within it. You can upgrade to an Economy or Business license at any time.

This allows you to manage your login independently. The Basic license is automatically available for every login client. Once you subscribe to an Economy or Business license, additional features become available for your login client.

Basic License and Trial License 

With the Basic license, you can go through the entire setup process free of charge and familiarize yourself with the product. If you would like to explore the features of the Economy or Business license, you can activate a free 14-day trial license for any login client directly in DocCheck Access at any time.

Please note that, for a trial license, the login client must first be created in the Development System (Dev) environment. This enables you and your technical team to thoroughly test all features of the respective license.

Setup - Economy or Business License

Once you have decided on a paid plan, you can either subscribe to a new license directly within DocCheck Access or request a quotation by saving the order within the system.

After the license has been booked, the advanced features become available for your login client. To support the additional security provided by the OAuth2 standard, we make the Client Secret available directly within the system. You can easily view it in the advanced settings of your login client in DocCheck Access.

Implementation

Implementation in a web environment is straightforward using our generated code. For this purpose, DocCheck Access provides a Button Configurator. There, you will receive up-to-date JavaScript code and an HTML element that renders the DocCheck Login button and can easily be integrated into your website.

Economy and Business licenses include additional functionality that requires further server-side implementation steps within your system. Detailed information can be found in the respective license sections of our technical documentation.

We have summarized everything you need to know about securing your implementation with the OAuth2 standard in the OAuth2 Service section. There, you will also find detailed information about our endpoints and recommendations for setup and configuration.

As part of the Economy and Business licenses, you can configure a transparent consent form for each login client. This allows users to consent to the transfer of their data to you while also informing them why you require specific information. The authorized data can then be securely retrieved through our user data endpoint. To determine how these data may be used within your organization, please consult your legal department where appropriate.

If you use a Content Management System (CMS) such as WordPress, you can develop a custom plugin or use and adapt open-source plugins to meet your requirements. Please understand that we cannot provide support for third-party plugins (such as WordPress or TYPO3 plugins), as these are not developed by DocCheck.

For app implementations, we provide sample projects (e.g., for React Native) to help you integrate the login functionality into your application. You can find these examples in our Github Repository.
