Description

We are happy to announce the release candidate of eDelivery Service Metadata Publisher (SMP) version 4.0 RC1.

This release is conformant with the e-SENS SMP profile based on the OASIS Service Metadata Publishing (BDX SMP) specifications. It is a candidate version that is potentially ready to be released unless significant bugs emergence as results of the tests executed by the future clients of the service before the release of the final version.

• Creation, update and deletion of Service Groups.
• Creation, update and deletion of Service Metadata.
• SML integration.
• Security, including:
• support of https for simple users (BlueCoat);
• mutual TLS authentication for administrators of metadata;
• authorisation for administrators' service operations;
• user management;
• data validation;
• data integrity validation;
• stored hashed password;
• secured against XXE attacks;
• Logging;
• Welcome page.
