b. OIDC UI:
The user interface component of eSignet, Manages user authentication and user consent. Integrates with the REST endpoints provided by esignet-service.
c. Authenticator Plugin:

Sunbird RC (v2.0.0): Identity microservice, Schema microservice, and Cred microservice.
a. Identity Service :
The central lynchpin to maintain identities across the system. All identities in Sunbird-RC are DID-compliant and are web-resolvable. The other microservices (Credential Schema Service and Credential Service) depend on this for generating any identity.
Depends on the vault (healthy), database.
b. Credential Schema service:
Stores the schema of the Verifiable Credential along with the associated view template.
Depends on identity service, and database.
c. Credential service:
Core issuance service. Called with the payload, which is then transformed into a W3C-compliant Verifiable Credential in JSON-LD format. The payload is then signed using the private key which was generated as part of the original Issuer creation.
Depends on identity service, schema service, and database.
d. Vault Service:
To be included as a dependency along with the pg.
Hashi Corp vault is the Keystore which acts as the vault service.
Identity service is dependent on the vault service.
