How to install and configure a Security Server?

The official Security Server installation guide for Ubuntu is available at https://github.com/nordic-institute/X-Road/blob/master/doc/Manuals/ig-ss_x-road_v6_security_server_installation_guide.md.

The official Security Server installation guide for RHEL is available at https://github.com/nordic-institute/X-Road/blob/master/doc/Manuals/ig-ss_x-road_v6_security_server_installation_guide_for_rhel7.md

The official Security Server user guide is available at https://github.com/nordic-institute/X-Road/blob/master/doc/Manuals/ug-ss_x-road_6_security_server_user_guide.md.

Beta Versions

Beta versions of X-Road are installed following the official installation guides. The only difference compared to an official release version is that beta versions are located in a separate package repository maintained by NIIS. Instead of using the official release repository, a snapshot repository must be used.
