What is the ICE Secure Scripting Framework?

ICE Mortgage Technology's web-based application supports advanced customization by allowing third parties (lenders or partners) to inject custom functionality via self-authored HTML, JavaScript and/or CSS. These customizations can then interact with, modify or extend the functions and behaviors of the host application, whether that's one of ICE Mortgage Technology's Connect products.

A Note About Two Factor Authentication

As an added security measure, Encompass utilizes a process known as two-factor authentication. When logging into Encompass you are prompted to install the Ping Identity app from the Apple App Store or the Google Play store. Once you pair a device with PingID, Encompass will authenticate your device automatically and you can then proceed to the next step to access the Encompass Web Input Form Builder.

For instructions to pair your device with PingID, refer to the Logging Into and Out of Encompass help topic.
