Technical Progress
Specifications: eDelivery AS4 & SMP Profiles
- Following feedback received for the consultation, the specifications are being modified in non-trivial ways:
- The second drafts of the eDelivery AS4 2.0 and eDelivery SMP 2.0 profile are almost complete. A new version of the eDelivery BDXL (v2.0) will also be proposed as part of the changes (under preparation).
- The disposition of public review comments and the new versions will be finalised shortly.
- The OMB formally approved the launch of the second public consultation for the revised draft specifications.
- The second drafts of the eDelivery AS4 2.0 and eDelivery SMP 2.0 profile are almost complete. A new version of the eDelivery BDXL (v2.0) will also be proposed as part of the changes (under preparation).
Software product: Domibus
- Domibus 5.1.2 bug fix release was published on the
- Domibus 5.0.8 bug fix release
- The release of this version is currently on hold. Despite its substantial scope, the non criticality of the bugs addressed in this version and the limited capacity of the TO it was decided not to proceed or plan the release of this version for the moment.
- Domibus 5.2 RC
Limited progress due to the effort required for 5.1.2 and the extensive maintenance and support workload. Leaving limited capacity for development tasks, as highlighted in the issue EDELIVERY-11247. Due to the prolonged onset of this dynamic, it is highly likely that it will lead to further delays in its release dates.
- Following the publication of secure deployment guidelines, users of Domibus were informed that as of emergency security patches will only be released to address vulerabilities that are exploitable in installations that follow the guidelines.
Software product: DomiSMP
- DomiSMP 5.1 RC development activities are ongoing.
Software product: DomiSML
- DomiSML 4.3 Vulnerability Assessment Report received and analyzed.
Software product: eDelivery Conformance Testing Platform / Service: Conformance Testing Service
- eDelivery AS4 1.15 profile enhancements conformance testing implementation:
- Limited progress due to the extended absence of the team member responsible for this activity
- Implementation of test cases for the Pull profile enhancement on hold, due to the need for analysis work in some specific test cases
- Implementation of test cases for the Dynamic Sender profile enhancement ongoing
- Analysis to strengthen the testing of the eDelivery Common Profile (the mandatory part of the profile that is implemented by all conformant products) concluded.
- Work with SMCO and SO for new presentation of conformant solutions and formalising the release process of the eDelivery Conformance Testing Service (to increase level of service maturity)
Software product: Docker images
- Domibus 5.1.2 in a Tomcat + MySQL configuration Docker images for published on the (OOTS).
- Docker image performance testing activities are ongoing.
Service: PKI Service

Incident Management
SMT - Workload Details
The volume of opened and handled SMT tickets decreased slightly in December 2023, as a result of the end-of-the-year break. There were still also a lot of questions from users on Domibus migration issues (migration scripts), docker usage, conformance tests issues (Opentext), etc.
Email Interaction
For eDelivery, received emails were related to:
- Requests for AS4 connectivity test with Everysite LTD, Eufex Deutschand GmbH, Sanmarco Informatica S.P.
- eDelivery conformance tests- several questions from Opentext that is running the tests with the new GITB platform
- SGTR and PKI services – SOD finalised
- Questions from users: Domibus (question on Kerberos DES and RC4, certificate configuration, Domibus migration from 4.2.6 to 5.0.6 (EUCEG), Domibus 5.1.2 and dynamic discovery, integration with AWS secrets manage, Docker), SML/SMP (SMP/SMK certificate update/renewal, DomiSMP 5.0.1 installation issues), updated list of Peppol participants sent to Peppol, PKI certificates (OOTS, UDB, EUDAMED, CixP), TAPAS (ICS2 connectivity test assistance requests (re-directed to the National service desks), onboarding request forwarded to National Helpdesk), question on TLS certificate redirected to ITSM3OPS)
- There was a total of 641 emails in the FMB. We have removed 64 emails for SML Inconsistency, 42 alerts, 34 xmatters and 11 emails from PKI CommisSign from the count, which makes a total of 490 received mails for the reporting month.
PKI
In December 2023, 10 certificates were issued:1 SGTR, 1 EUDAMED, 1 UDB, 7 OOTS.
