  • 1.  Error when scanning QR code in app

    Posted Thu April 28, 2022 09:02 AM
    Hello,

    I'm using IBM SV API to create a new user and then initiate an authentication registration for that user (POST /v1.0/authenticators/initiation?qrcodeInResponse=true). I get the QR Code image from the response and when I scan it, I get the following error:

    "The data is incomplete and can not be parsed"



    If I scan it again, then I get:

    "The system cannot process the request because the authorization code was not found."

    How to proceed?

    Thanks,

    Mariana

    Hi Mariana,

    the first error indicates that the QR does not contain the required data. Please use a QR code scanner app and check that the data in the QR code looks similar to this:
    {"code":"ABC...xyz","options":"ignoreSslCerts=false","details_url":"https:\/\/192.168.1.14:444\/mga\/sps\/mmfa\/user\/mgmt\/details","version":1,"client_id":"AuthenticatorClient"}
    

    The reason for the 2nd error is, that the authorization code has timed out (the default is 30 seconds).

    I'm not entirely sure what the problem might be, but it could be related to the QR code itself. Have you tried scanning the QR code with a different scanner or device to see if the issue persists?
