Step-by-step instructions:

  1. Have a YubiKey with certificate(s) installed on it.

  2. Have a journey configured in Orchestrator with cmd_certificate_mobile command added as a challenge.

    CODE
    "type": "AUTHENTICATION",
    "executor": "PHONE",
    "authenticate": {
      "methods": [
         {
          "type": "CERTIFICATE",
          "configuration": {
              "isSecurityKeyRequired": true
          }
