peerIdentity

Summary

Contains the peer identity assertion information if an identity assertion was provided and verified.

Property of apis/webrtc/RTCPeerConnectionapis/webrtc/RTCPeerConnection

Syntax

Note: This property is read-only.

var result = element.peerIdentity;

Return Value

Returns an object of type RTCIdentityAssertionRTCIdentityAssertion

The RTCIdentityAssertion object has two string members:

• idp - the domain name representing the identity provider
• name - the name of the verified peer identity

Examples

This example shows how to consume identity assertions.

pc.onidentityresult = function(result) {
  console.log("IdP= " + pc.peerIdentity.idp +
              " identity=" + pc.peerIdentity.name);
};

Notes

The identity system is designed so that applications need not take any special action in order for users to generate and verify identity assertions; if a user has configured an IdP into their browser, then the browser will automatically request/generate assertions and the other side will automatically verify them and display the results.
