Component Diagrams

The component diagrams depict a few of the possible deployment options for prerequisite software and CA Strong Authentication components. If you perform a Complete install, then both Java SDKs and Web Services are installed on the system. You can use any of these methods for integrating CA Strong Authentication with your Web application.

• Deploying Java SDKs
• Deploying Web Services

If you plan to perform a single-system deployment, then decide on the following:

• Install a database server on the system which has CA Strong Authentication Server, or use an existing database on a separate system.
• Use Sample Application or write my own web application.

Important! Sample Application must not be used in production deployments. It is recommended that you build your own web application by using Sample Application as a code-reference.

• Use Java SDKs or Web Services to integrate with your own web application.

The following sections will help you achieve your deployment decision.

The following figure illustrates deployment of CA Strong Authentication Server and Java SDKs on a single system:

Note: The use of a web server to deliver HTML pages for the application server is optional and is transparent. In production deployments, this approach is generally used to improve Application Server performance and security. See the documentation of your Application Server for detailed information.

If you plan to deploy Web Services, the following figure illustrates CA Strong Authentication Server and Web Services on a single system.

Note: Because all web wervices are now built into the CA Strong Authentication Server itself, you install the Server on the target system and generate the requisite client stubs.
