Error Codes

The webhook returns a series of error codes that ByteVault will interpret. This feedback helps users troubleshoot any login issues.

200 OK

Standard response for successful authentication. The message string’s digital signature was verified, the challenge was found, and the timestamp is recent. Any polling script can now forward the user to a dashboard/account page for a successful redirect and login.

---

404 Not Found

The requested resource (the user object) could not be found. Alternatively, a challenge was not found.

---

406 Not Acceptable

The request digital signature did not match the message. The request is rejected. Check your ECDSA library or digital signature.

---

408 Request Timeout

The client did not produce a request within the time that the server was prepared to wait. The challenge supplied was not found in the server’s list of active challenges.

500 Internal Server Error

A generic error message, given when an unexpected condition was encountered and no more specific message is suitable.
