Outputs

In case of an Error outcome, the error message is output to the shared state.

Outcomes

Success: The OTP code was successfully generated for the user. OTP generation does not guarantee delivery to the user’s device. The LexisNexis OTP Collector node allows for retry if the user does not receive the OTP.
None Available: No OTP delivery methods are available because the required attributes required are not configured for that user.
API Error: There is an issue with the API request, such as a network timeout, or the service is unavailable.
OTP Fail: The API request is rejected by the LexisNexis DDP authentication hub. The actual error code is logged in the debug log for the node.
Error: There is an integration error or a new bug is discovered. Check the debug log files for any integration issues.

Troubleshooting

If this node logs an error, review the log messages to find the reason for the error. If the configuration looks accurate, then open a support case with LexisNexis.
