Description

Release 2.0 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 major improvements in the software architecture.

The following main changes have been introduced:

  • There are now two deployment approaches; Standard (independent Specific and Generic applications) and Monolithic (single WAR file).
  • Architecture improvements are introduced to enable seamless upgrades of the eIDAS-Node in the future. MS Specific module has been split into Specific Proxy Service module and Specific Connector module.
  • Simple Protocol has been defined between the demo Service Provider 2.0 tools and the Specific Connector, and between the Specific Proxy Service and the demo Identity Provider 2.0 tools.
  • OpenSAML has been upgraded to version 3.0 in the eIDAS-Node core part.
  • A new look and feel.

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.

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.
