Developer Guide

Build, integrate, and enhance solutions with eSignet.

This section is for anyone building with eSignet directly, rather than just running it: engineers standing up an instance, integrating a relying party, writing a custom authenticator or audit plugin, or tuning a deployment's configuration for their environment. If Quickstart got you a working login on your own machine, this is where you go next to understand how eSignet is actually put together and how to shape it around your own system.

The pages here are grouped by what you're trying to do, not just by topic — start with Understand eSignet if you're getting oriented, jump to Configure Your Deployment if you already know eSignet and need to tune a specific setting, or go straight to Integrate With eSignet if you're connecting a relying party or writing a plugin today.

Understand eSignet

Before configuring or integrating anything, it helps to know how the pieces fit together.

• Architecture — how eSignet is composed under the hood: its major building blocks and how they interact with each other and with the systems around it.
• Building Blocks — a closer look at the individual services that make up an eSignet deployment, and what each one is responsible for.

Configure Your Deployment

Property-by-property reference for tuning eSignet to your own environment, once it's up and running.

Integrate With eSignet

Everything you need to connect a relying party or extend eSignet with your own plugins.
