Description

Release 2.1 of the eIDAS sample implementation for Member States is an all-in-one package for the Java platform including binary distributions for Glassfish, JBoss, Tomcat, WebLogic, WebSphere and the source code (Maven project). This release is based on version 1.1 of the eIDAS technical specifications and it includes stability improvements.

The following main changes have been introduced:

Change in Gender allowed values : Allow temporarily "Not Specified"
Add protocol versioning elements to metadata
Support of Sub-CA for Metadata Signer
Implement usage of simple DSI keys in SAML messages
Use of SingleSignOnService instead of hardcoded URLs
Build separation between Demo and Node modules
Update copyright headers and remove authorship

For a more detailed description of the changes introduced with this release please consult the release notes and section “3.1 Summary of changes” found in the eIDAS-Node Migration Guide v2.1.

Member States can use this release as a sample implementation for demonstration purposes or they can adapt it as a basis for their own eIDAS scheme.

The testing tools (demo SP, demo IdP), the supplied Specific part and the Simple Protocol, should be used for demo purposes only on your local machine, and should not be deployed in your infrastructure.

With each release, the DIGITAL eID Team strives to improve users' DIGITAL eID experience. Future versions of the technical specifications will be updated based on feedback received on this current version.
