This page contains a collection of the resources for the eIDAS-Node version 2.2, released on 19th September 2018.
Description
Release 2.2 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.
The following main changes were introduced:
- Usage of simple DSI keys in SAML messages is implemented for encryption.
- Allow SAML response for failed authentication with or with-out SAML assertion, based on request's application identifier.
- Correction of wrong character encoding in metadata.
- Support of Sub-CA for Metadata Signer to allow eIDAS Service to validate metadata.
- Dependencies were refactored.
- Security fix for processing authnrequest no longer allows for manipulation of issuer element.
- The release successfully tested and works with Middleware versions 1.04 and 1.06.
For a more detailed description of the changes introduced with this release please consult the release notes and section “3 Changes” found in the eIDAS-Node Migration Guide.
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.
