# Breaking: #68186 - Adjusted and removed methods in eID area {#breaking-68186}

See [forge#68186](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/68186)

## Description {#description}

eID scripts now use Request and Response objects to retrieve and output data.

Due to adjustments of the Core eID scripts a few methods have been adjusted.

`ExtDirectEidController::routeAction` is now protected and has a changed signature.

The following methods have been removed:

-   `ExtDirectEidController::actionIsAllowed()`
-   `ExtDirectEidController::render()`
-   `EidUtility::isEidRequest()`
-   `EidUtility::getEidScriptPath()`

Additionally calling an non-existent eID key will result in a fatal error.

## Impact {#impact}

All third party code using those methods will cause a fatal PHP error.

## Affected Installations {#affected-installations}

All installations using third party code accessing one of the adjusted (or removed) methods.

## Migration {#migration}

No replacement for the mentioned methods is provided. Consider migrating your eID scripts to the new PSR-7 compliant model.
