Article Summary

v3.0

In order to enable Account Defender, a user ID must be set. You can set it by calling the PerimeterX/setUserId(userId:forAppId:) function with a non nil value. When the current user logout, you should call this function again with nil. This will turn off the Account Defender.

do {
    try PerimeterX.setUserId(userId: "<the current user ID>")
}
catch {
    print("error: \(error)")
}
NSError *error = nil;
[PerimeterX setUserIdWithUserId:@"<the current user ID>" forAppId:nil error:&error];
if (error != nil) {
    NSLog(@"error: %@", error);
}

In order to tell Account Defender about the user's flow, you should call the PerimeterX/registerOutgoingUrlRequest(url:forAppId:) function for each URL request that been send to your server. Notice that when the PXPolicy/urlRequestInterceptionType is set to any value rather than PXPolicyUrlRequestInterceptionType/none, the SDK registers URL requests automatically and you don't need to call this function.

do {
    try PerimeterX.registerOutgoingUrlRequest(url: "<URL>")
}
catch {
    print("error: \(error)")
}
NSError *error = nil;
[PerimeterX registerOutgoingUrlRequestWithUrl:@"<URL>" forAppId:nil error:&error]
if (error != nil) {
    NSLog(@"error: %@", error);
}

You may add additional data using the PerimeterX/setAdditionalData(parameters:forAppId:) function.

do {
    var additionalData = [String: String]()
    additionalData["key1"] = "value1"
    additionalData["key2"] = "value2"
    try PerimeterX.setAdditionalData(parameters: additionalData)
}
catch {
    print("error: \(error)")
}
NSDictionary *additionalData = @{@"key1": @"value1", @"key2": @"value2"};
NSError *error = nil;
[PerimeterX setAdditionalDataWithParameters:additionalData forAppId:nil error:&error];
if (error != nil) {
    NSLog(@"error: %@", error);
}
