Overview
The Mobile Connect Sandbox is a simulation of a number of Mobile Connect ID Gateways. The sandbox can be used to accelerate the integration of the Mobile Connect service in existing or new applications.
The sandbox supports the following capabilities:
-
LoA2 & LoA3
Both LoA2 (no PIN) and LoA3 (PIN confirmation) are supported.
-
A Choice of authenticators
Two authenticators are supported, SMS and Passthrough. SMS authentication sends a text message with a URL to user configured MSISDN. Passthrough authentication will automatically authenticate the request as if a user has received an authentication request and confirmed.
-
MSISDN configuration
The Sandbox allows the user to configure MSISDNs to match specific test operators. These MSISDNs will receive the authentication request via SMS. A set of passthrough MSISDNs are available to force passthrough authentication for each of the test operators.
-
Multiple MNOs
Different MNOs will support the different Mobile Connect products.
-
Multiple User profiles
The Sandbox supports multiple test user profiles for testing the Identity and Network Attributes products.
-
Consistent PCRs
As will real ID Gateways the sandbox will always produce a consistent PCR for Application/Operator combinations.
-
A Developer Portal account
You cannot make requests to the Sandbox until you have created an account on the Developer Portal. You can create an account here
-
Registered a Developer Portal application
You will need to register an application in the My Apps section once you are logged in. More details can be found here.
Pre-requisites
To use the Mobile Connect Sandbox, you will need:
Test operators
There are 4 test mobile operators on the sandbox platform. Of these, some perform different roles. The following table describes the values for each operator.
Operator | Profiles | Products supported | Passthrough MSISDN |
---|---|---|---|
Operator A | v1.1 | Authentication | +447700900901 |
Operator B | v1.1, DI r2 v2.3, DI v3.0 | Authentication, Authorisation, Attributes | +447700900301 |
Operator C | SI v2.0 | Authentication, Authorisation, Attributes | +447700900302 |
Operator D | SI v1.0, SI v2.0 | Authentication, Authorisation, Attributes | +447700900303 |
Sandbox test users
There are two test users on the sandbox platform. These test users allow you to test those the Identity and Attributes products. These test users have the following attributes

Configuration & Setup
Selecting your profile
You should select the correct profile based upon the MNO ID Gateway that you will be using when you move to production. You can find detail of operator implementations on their details page.
Configuring Mobile Connect Profile v1.1
Mobile Connect Profile v1.1 only supports authentication, so this configuration screen for this profile is very simple. Here you can setup a maximum of five MSISDNs configured to the test operator Operator A. Configuring a MSISDN here means that when the sandbox sees a request with that MSISDN it will be associated to Operator A./p>
Configuring Mobile Connect Profile v2.3
This configuration section allows you to configure the Sandbox to support your testing of all Mobile Connect products (Authentication, Authorization, Identity and Attributes) by allowing you to configure both the operator and user profile that will be linked to a test MSISDN.
MSISDN
Configuring a MSISDN here means that when the sandbox sees a request with that MSISDN it will be associated with the operator selected from the dropdown box (B, C or D).
User Profile
If you are using Authentication or Authorisation then you can leave this at the default value as it is not used. The user profile needs only to be set if you are using any of the Identity or Attributes products. Setting this value means that the MSISDN you have configured will be matched to the user data you have configured. The specific user data is configured here
