Air-Gapped Mode

The Securosys Authorization App supports the transfer of requests for TSB environments running in the Air-Gapped profile. To proceed it is required to fully understand the overview, workflow and the terminology of the air-gapped deployment mode.

To enable the Air-Gapped Mode, navigate to the Air-Gapped tab on the bottom right and click the toggle.

Approvals Unavailable

During Air-Gapped Mode the application will not be able to fetch any approval or key management tasks from your configured Approver TSB. Disabling Air-Gapped Mode returns the user back and allows the use of approval and key management tasks.

  2. For faster configuration, click IMPORT API CONFIG to select and import a .json file. This file should have the following structure:

    {
    "api_url":"<specify URL of TSB>",
    "api_key_approval":"<specify approval key name>",
    "api_key_operation":"<specify key operation>",
    "jwt_token":"<input JWT Token>"
    }


  3. Alternatively, configure the configuration fields manually.

Air-Gapped Transfer Workflow​

For the full description of the Air-Gapped workflow see in the TSB docs.

To transfer requests with the Authorization App, first configure the connection to the Online and Offline TSBs, as described above. Ensure the phone can connect to both TSBs, either via network or USB to the TSB host machine.

To transfer requests, start in your Online environment. Each step requires the previous and cannot be skipped.

  1. To import the request from your Online TSB, click SCAN REQUEST. Scan the request QR code received from the Online TSB. Optionally, click VIEW REQUEST to verify the details.
  2. Move to the Offline TSB environment and send the scanned request to the Offline TSB and collect the response. Optionally, click VIEW RESPONSE to verify the details.
  3. Return to the Online TSB environment and complete the request response transfer by sending it to the Online TSB. Optionally, click VIEW STATUS to verify the details.

When finished or at any point, click RESET SESSION to start a new transfer session.
