1 Introduction

This document describes the MyID^® Web Service Architecture. The web services installed on your web server allow MyID end-user applications to communicate with your MyID system. For example, the web services allow you to use the following client applications:

• MyID Desktop

• MyID Self-Service App

The following web services are provided:

• MyID Process Driver Web Service – allows a client application to communicate with the MyID application server to carry out card and identity management.

• MyID Data Source Web Service – provides form definitions and device configuration data to a client application. This is a read-only web service with no security restrictions.

• Certificate Check Web Service – allows a client application to check the status of its certificates using the Windows API. This is an optional web service.
