Deprecating support for GrandID

[PeterOrneholm]

When we created Active Login we added support for BankID directly as well as through Svensk E-identitet (GrandID). At the time we had cases where we were using both so it was natural to support them both. As time has gone by we see that basically, all new cases for us use the "native" BankID provider so that's where we have focused our efforts in Active Login.

We have reached the point where it is not possible for us to support the GrandId packages anymore as part of this open-source project. In the end, we have just so much time that we want to spend where we think it benefits the most users, and the download counts on NuGet tell this is the native BankID parts.

So what will happen now?

• The documentation for GrandId will move into its own file (Separate docs for BankID and GrandID #249) but be marked as "unsupported"
• The demos/samples in /samples/ will not contain samples for GrandId
• New issues created for GrandId will be closed and marked as won't fix
• The published packages to NuGet will of course stay where they are
• In the future the sourcecode might be moved to its own repo

What can I do if I need updates and support for new features in GrandId?

The great thing is that Active Login is Open Source! All the source code is available on GitHub for you to download or fork. Are you interested in actively maintaining a fork of our project? Please get in touch with us.

Are you a company that needs commercial support and/or support for new features anyway? Please see Commercial support and we can assist you.
