This is an illustration of the Smart ID Digital Access component architecture with an overview of the subcomponents. 

Below, you find a more detailed image of the architecture with default port numbers. 

Digital Access component system:

• Access point
  

   The access point functionality can be divided into web access and access via the Access Client in Digital Access.

• Administration service
  

• Policy service
  

   The policy service makes the access decisions depending on access policies.

• Authentication service
  

• Distribution service
  With the Distribution service, soft tokens can be distributed to users in a effective way and when tokens are distributed they can be bound to a user by seed provisioning.

• Internal database
  Digital Access component user accounts and credentials for authorization and authentication are stored in the internal database, a PostgreSQL database bundled with Digital Access component. The internal database can be exchanged for an external database (see Digital Access component requirements and interoperability for a list of supported databases).

Communicates with Digital Access component:

• User
  

   The user can access resources through the Digital Access component application portal.

• System administrator
  The system administrator communicates with Digital Access component through the administration interface.

• Resources in Digital Access
  In Digital Access, you register applications, folders, files, and URLs – everything users need remote access to – as web resources (web enabled applications), tunnel resources (client-server applications that are not web enabled) or customized resources. 

Port numbers

This illustration shows the Digital Access subcomponents with port numbers that are used for traffic between the services.
