Fault Codes (Error)

Code	Message	Description	Applicable To
101	WRONG_PARAM	The AP's request contains wrong parameters.	All
102	MISSING_PARAM	The AP's request has missing parameters.	All
103	WRONG_DATA_LENGTH	The AP's request contains a DTBD message that is exceeding the max. allowed length.	Signature, Receipt
104	UNAUTHORIZED_ACCESS	AP is not authorized to access the Mobile ID API. This is typically due to a wrong AP_ID value or missing X509 client certificate.	All
105	UNKNOWN_CLIENT	Either the MSISDN is unknown to the MID service, or the MSISDN is an app-only user and the AP is not authorized to use the app method.	Signature, Receipt, Profile
107	INAPPROPRIATE_DATA	The AP's request was not accepted due to inappropriate data. Typically, the DTBD message does not contain the mandatory prefix string that is a unique string for each AP.	Signature, Receipt
108	INCOMPATIBLE_INTERFACE	The AP's request contains bad data. Typically, a wrong MajorVersion or MinorVersion value has been set in the request.	All
109	UNSUPPORTED_PROFILE	Either the AP has specified an MSS signature profile value that the MSSP does not support or the AP is not authorized to use the Signature Profile.	Signature
208	EXPIRED_TRANSACTION	The transaction timed out. The AP may try again.	Signature, Status Query, Receipt
209	OTA_ERROR	A problem related to the MSSP internal Over-The-Air (OTA) communication with the Mobile ID user's SIM. Typically, there is a temporary problem with SMS communication.	Signature, Status Query
401	USER_CANCEL	The user cancelled the request at the mobile phone.	Signature, Status Query
402	PIN_NR_BLOCKED	The Mobile ID PIN of the SIM method is blocked. The user must re-activate the Mobile ID SIM card on the Mobile ID self-care portal.	All
403	CARD_BLOCKED	The Mobile ID user is currently suspended. Please contact Swisscom Support.	All
404	NO_KEY_FOUND	The Mobile ID user exists but is not in an active state. The user must activate the account on the Mobile ID self-care portal.	All
406	PB_SIGNATURE_PROCESS	A signature transaction is already ongoing. Please try again later.	Signature, Status Query
422	NO_CERT_FOUND	The Mobile ID user exists but is not in an active state. The user must activate the account on the Mobile ID self-care portal.	All
900	INTERNAL_ERROR	An internal error on MSSP has occurred. Please try again later or contact Swisscom Support, if the problem persists.	All

Testing Status and Fault Codes

Specific MSISDNs are available to test different type of response status and fault codes. By placing a request to one of this number the related status or fault code will be raised. The following MSISDN structure is used for testing fault codes, which might help a developer to test the error handling of their Mobile ID client.

• +41000092<faultcode> - Use one of the 3-digit fault sub-code values listed in section 6.1.

On the other hand, a successful Mobile ID signature response can be tested by using one of the two MSISDNs listed below, which might help with CI/CD pipelines that include automated regression testing with Mobile ID authentications. However, your account will require specific permissions to be able to use the test-MSISDNs for successful Mobile ID responses. Please ask your Swisscom contact if you need this permission.

• 41700092501 – This number returns a successful Mobile ID signature response based on an EC key
• 41700092502 - This number returns a successful Mobile ID signature response based on an RSA key

For example, a Profile Query request with MSISDN +41000092401 will result in a fault 401 as shown below:

{
    "Fault": {
        "Code": {
            "SubCode": {
                "Value": "_401",
                "ValueNs": "http://uri.etsi.org/TS102204/v1.1.2#"
            },
            "Value": "Receiver",
            "ValueNs": "http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope"
        },
        "Detail": "User cancelled the request",
        "Reason": "USER_CANCEL"
