1Introduction

Introduction to the X-Road Community Expert Group.

2X-Road development roadmap 2022

Deep dive into the X-Road development roadmap 2022.

Version 7.1.0

  • Show statuses of different encryption configuration options in the Security Server UI.
  • Make the Security Server UI more modular so that elements that are not needed are inactive.
  • Minor enhancements and bug fixes based on user feedback.

Version 7.2.0

  • New user interface provides improved user experience (UX) for Central Server administrators.
  • Common maintenance and configuration tasks can be automated using the Central Server administrator API.
  • Other planned changes to the Central Server functionality:
    • Support declining or approving management requests without having to create a complementary request on the Central Server.
      • Comment: Having only a single management requests view with filtering capabilities seems like a good solution. In that way there's no need to have separate management request views under Member and Security Server details.
    • Use secure connection (HTTPS) for distributing global configuration.
      • Comment: Both HTTP and HTTPS endpoints must be available on the new Central Server for backwards compatibility.
    • Use more secure certificate hashing algorithm instead of SHA-1, e.g., SHA-256.
    • Add/remove Central Server cluster nodes without sending a new configuration anchor.
    • Rotate Central Server sign keys without sending a new configuration anchor.

    • Support running management services and the Central Server on separate hosts.
  • Support for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.
  • Remove support for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
