The DE4A Connector is a technical proxy that allows the final participants (DE or DO) to send requests for evidence or responses to other final participants over an eDelivery communication environment. In addition, to handle the message exchange process, the Connector is responsible for obtaining the message routing information, by exchanging information with external components such as the IDK, the SML/DNS or the SMP.

To do so, it provides a common interface to DEs and DOs, making the complexity of the system transparent to the final participants and integration easier.

The Connector component provides the AS4 Gateway functionality, so it can assume both the role of Data Requestor and Data Transferor. This first approach makes the Connector a stand-alone web application that can be deployed on any suitable application server.

The security and integrity of messages, as well as the unique identification of the participants involved, are the cornerstones of the Connector component.
