Administration service in Digital Access, set up internal and external communication

This article describes the administration service in Smart ID Digital Access component. 

Digital Access is a complete network of services, with the administration service as the natural connecting point, or hub. The administrator manages all configuration of Digital Access on the administration service through Digital Access Admin.

The administration service distributes your User accounts in Digital Access settings to the User storage in Digital Access and configuration changes to the Digital Access network: the access point, policy service, distribution service, and authentication service.  You can only configure one administration service server per Digital Access network.

When initially setting up Digital Access through the Setup system wizard, the administration service by default listens to host 127.0.0.1 and port 8300 for communication within the Digital Access network. These default values can be changed.

The administration service must be set up with:

  • Internal communication, that is, the communication between the administration service and the Digital Access network.
  • External communication, that is, the communication between the administration clients and the administration service.
