NemLog-in consists of a number of different components which together form the joint public-sector user rights solution. Below is a brief description of the key NemLog-in components and the role they play in the infrastructure.
Login is the public sector’s MitID broker, enabling users to log in to a public authority self-service using MitID, MitID Erhverv, a non-Danish eID or a Local IdP. Login features Single Sign-On (SSO), which allows users to remain logged in when navigating between public authority self-services. Login can be used free of charge by public sector bodies and gives both citizens and business users access to public self-services, such as Borger.dk, Sundhed.dk, Virk and Danmarks Miljøportal.
IT systems that do not involve the exercise of public authority may also use the login component; however, this comes at a cost and without the option of SSO.
NemLog-in's signing solution, supported by the Danish State CA and the validation solution, makes it possible to sign a document or agreement using MitID. The purpose of the signing solution is to offer public authorities a shared digital solution for obtaining a user's digital signature on an agreement, a statutory report or similar. This provides a high degree of traceability and technical documentation for the signature.
The connection component is a digital solution through which user organisations, IT system providers and IT suppliers enter into a connection agreement with NemLog-in or MitID Erhverv. This includes entering information about their management representative and signing the terms of use for NemLog-in or MitID Erhverv
The Security Token Service (STS) makes it possible to manage access to web services. This allows access management for a service to be handled centrally and independently of the service itself. The STS is accessed via the OIO WS-Trust interface and issues SAML tokens. Access management for the joint public-sector (web) services provided through NemLog-in is one example of this.

The joint public-sector solution for digital delegation makes it possible to create a power of attorney for both digital self-services and non-digital processes (e.g. authorisation for telephone enquiries or receiving written updates on the citizen’s behalf). With Digital Delegation, citizens can grant a person, employee or company power of attorney to act digitally on their behalf for a given period. This component is not available for self-services from which no public authority tasks are carried out.
MitID Erhverv is for all companies, associations and public authorities with employees or users who need to log on to public self-services and, where applicable, sign digitally. Administrators within organisations can manage employees' identities and control roles and rights, including managing business powers of attorney. Finally, MitID Erhverv makes it possible to issue certificates to users, systems and organisations.
