Service health check prerequisites

Performing a health check has the following prerequisites:

  • You have mobile devices dedicated for testing purposes and ready to use for health check.
  • The latest version of your Access App is installed on your test devices.
  • The test devices are prepared for a new registration. For instructions on how to reset the authenticator app, see Reset your mobile authenticator.
  • Access to URLs and an Access Key that are unique to your environment.

In the following instructions, we refer to these URLs by name as indicated in the table. The URLs are formed with the name of your environment URL used as <instance>. For example, in https://sandbox-int-6c.mauth.nevis.cloud/test.html, the part sandbox-int-6c is your <instance>. You need the following URLs to run the health check:
