Environments

Present the environments available to integrate L’Identité Numérique La Poste.

👉 Two environments are available:

• Sandbox
• Production

Environment intended for:

• development
• technical testing
• project acceptance testing
• user journey validation

Environment intended for:

• real users
• business use cases
• live journeys

⚠️ Credentials are different for each environment:

• `client_id`
• `client_secret`

👉 Sandbox credentials never work in Production.

• dedicated test identities
• accounts created through the test process
• dummy data

👉 See: Create a Test Identity

• real identities
• end users
• real data

Before production launch:

• Sandbox testing successfully completed
• user journeys validated
• production `redirect_uri` communicated
• production credentials provided
• go-live schedule approved

⚠️ Always start in Sandbox

⚠️ Test error cases before production

⚠️ Verify URLs before go-live

⚠️ Separate technical configurations

⚠️ Production identities (real users) do not work in Sandbox

⚠️ Sandbox identities do not work in Production

⚠️ `redirect_uri` must be declared per environment

• Sandbox = development / testing
