Description
The Directorate-General for Informatics (DIGIT) is happy to announce the upgrade of the sample implementation of the SML software in order to fully support the CEF eDelivery SML specification. In version 3.1.2, as in version 3.1.1, the SML will provide support for the e-SENS BDXL profile, as well as the PEPPOL SML specification. As the PEPPOL SML specification continues to be supported, current users of the SML software should not suffer of any disruption of service. The SML managed service offered by DIGIT uses this sample implementation and therefore benefits from its features.
This version of the SML sample implementation is also known as Business Document Metadata Service Location application (BDMSL). It is released with additional documentation which can be found below.
The SML 3.1.2 latest release includes following major additions compared to release 3.1.1:
- Added configuration flag to disable creation of NAPTR or CNAME records.
- Added validation to authenticate into SML as admin access only possible via HTTP.
- All SML library dependencies were upgraded.
- Passwords defined on the configuration table are now encrypted.
- Added support for Java 8.
- Fixed bug regarding update of participant's logical address while updating smp metadata.
- Fixed bug regarding certificate authentication with special characters.
Migration from 3.1.1 to 3.1.2
- Java 8 is required.
- The migration of data model will be applied automatically in the server at startup mode after the version 3.1.2 war file being deployed.
- Configuration for enabling which records for participants should be created in the DNS must be applied. More details about can be found in the Software Architecture Document (SAD).
- Application passwords stored in configuration table have to be encrypted by administrator. This action needs to be done only if "Signing response" or "proxy" features are used. More details about passwords encryption can be found in the Software Architecture Document (SAD).
- Restart the server.
