Communication between edoc platform and edoc system control

edoc system control is the central platform for managing edoc platform. Communication between the on-premises system in your organization's own network and the central cloud instance is one-way from edoc platform to edoc system control.

Communication is based on a RESTful web service via https protocol. Each instance of edoc platform receives an individual authentication token (secret), which can be exchanged at any time via a renewal process. Each request is signed using several characteristics, such as the content of the request and timestamp. Communication is only permitted by edoc system control if the hash is correct.
