X-Road v6.21.0 Release Notes
Changes in This Release
Summary
- Security Server provides support for consuming and producing both SOAP and REST services.
- REST-based systems can be integrated to X-Road without technical changes and an additional adapter service component.
- REST support is not limited to just JSON and XML messages as Security Server does not set any restrictions to the content type of the payload that is transferred between a service consumer and a service producer.
- Consuming and producing SOAP services remains supported and no changes are required to existing SOAP based service consumers and producers.
- X-Road onboarding process is streamlined enabling automatic approval of registration requests of new X-Road member organizations and information systems.
- X-Road operator may choose between automatic and manual approval of registration requests within an X-Road ecosystem.
- Automatic approval speeds up the registration process and reduces the daily management tasks of the X-Road operator.
- Standalone Security Server is a special version of Security Server that is ready-to-use in minutes without the normal Security Server installation, configuration and registration process.
- Standalone Security Server is meant for testing purposes in X-Road service development and it cannot communicate with other Security Servers.
- Standalone Security Server is targeted especially to developers and organizations that are developing services to be published via X-Road.
- N.B.! Standalone Security Server has been released on 8th May 2019 on Docker Hub.

| Issue ID | Type | Summary |
|---|---|---|
| XRDDEV-120 | New | Create Proof of Concept (PoC) level implementation of REST support. Basic REST message exchange between Security Servers without validations, checks, logging etc. |
| XRDDEV-149 | New | Create version number update tool for developers that can be used to update X-Road version number in all related files and locations. |
| XRDDEV-155 | New | Further define issues discovered in REST PoC implementation. More detailed planning of REST support implementation. |
| XRDDEV-225 | New | Add configuration option that allows auto-accepting authentication certificate registration requests on Central Server. When enabled, the feature is applied only if the member owning the Security Server is registered on the Central Server already. By default, auto-accepting is disabled and it can be enabled adding the below configuration in "/etc/xroad/conf.d/local.ini" on Central Server: [center] auto-approve-auth-cert-reg-requests=true |
| XRDDEV-226 | New | Add configuration option that allows auto-accepting Security Server client registration requests on Central Server. Security Server client registration request is automatically accepted on the Central Server when the following conditions are met:
If any of the conditions above is false, manual approval is required. Older versions of Security Server do not include the signature of the client owner in the registration request and therefore, manual approval is always required. By default, auto-accepting is disabled and it can be enabled adding the below configuration in "/etc/xroad/conf.d/local.ini" on Central Server: [center] auto-approve-client-reg-requests=true |
| XRDDEV-230 | Improvement | Add a unique message id generated by consumer Security Server to every request-response message pair, so that it is be possible to distinguish messages in message log and operational monitoring database. Security Server versions prior to version 6.21.0 ignore the additional message id. |
| XRDDEV-245 | New | Implement Docker support for Security Server. Create Security Server Dockerfile and Docker image. The Docker image is available on Docker Hub. N.B.! Security Server Docker image is for test and development purposes only. It is not recommended to use it in production environments. |
| XRDDEV-258 | Fix | Update JRuby dependency from version 9.1.13 to 9.1.17. |
| XRDDEV-263 | New | Add REST services to the Security Server data model. Update Security Server configuration database schema and code base to support REST services in addition to SOAP services. |
| XRDDEV-264 | New | Add support for transferring REST messages of arbitrary size. Large REST messages can be transferred through X-Road with equal or better scalability and performance compared to SOAP with attachments. |
| XRDDEV-284 | New | Add support for configuring REST services in the Security Server admin UI. REST services can be added, modified, removed and configured using the admin UI just like SOAP services. |
| XRDDEV-285 | New | Implement logging of REST messages to message log database. Logging of message payload is enabled/disabled using new "message-body-logging" parameter - it is used to enable/disable the logging of both SOAP and REST message payloads. Removal of message body is usually done for confidentiality reasons (body contains data that should not be stored in the logs, e.g. personal data). A new system parameter "max-loggable-body-size" defines maximum loggable REST message body size (default value: 10 MB). If the REST message body exceeds the maximum loggable body size, the body is truncated in the log if "truncated-body-allowed" system parameter is true, and the message is rejected if "truncated-body-allowed" system parameter is false (default value: false). The message body is stored in the database as a large binary object which maximum size is 1 GB. N.B.! Use of "soap-body-logging" system parameter is deprecated, use "message-body-logging" parameter from now on. "soap-body-logging" parameter still works in v6.21.0 and its value is used to enable/disable the logging of both SOAP and REST message payloads. However, the "soap-body-logging" system parameter will be removed in future versions. |
| XRDDEV-314 | New | Extend message log database structure to support logging of REST messages. |
| XRDDEV-328 | New | Implement archiving of REST messages from message log database to ASiC containers. REST message records are archived from message log database to disk according to the message log archival schedule. Archived message log records are removed from the message log database according to the removal schedule. |
| XRDDEV-337 | Fix | Fix scaling issues of X-Road logo on Security Server and Central Server UIs. |
| XRDDEV-341 | Fix | Update Hibernate dependency from version 4.3.11 to 5.1.17. |
| XRDDEV-352 | New | Add support for downloading REST message records via Security Server's signed document download web service interface. |
| XRDDEV-353 | New | Add support for verifying ASiC containers containing REST messages. It is possible to verify the signature of ASiC containers containing REST message records using the asicverifier tool. It is possible to export REST messages from ASiC container using the asicverifier tool. Exporting messages is possible regardless of the result of the verification. |
| XRDDEV-358 | New | Add recording REST messages to operational monitoring. REST messages are recorded by operational monitoring and the data is stored in the operational monitoring database. Operational monitoring collects the same information from REST messages that is collected from SOAP messages. |
| XRDDEV-361 | Fix | Fix a problem in Security Server's resource usage. |
| XRDDEV-375 | New | Add support for Security Server protocol extension in REST messages. Security Server REST implementation supports "X-Road-Security-Server" HTTP header that can be used for sending a request to a specific Security Server. |
| XRDDEV-380 | Fix | Fix missing "getSecurityServerMetrics" request message in message log. Before the fix, "getSecurityServerMetrics" request message was not recorded in the message log database. |
| XRDDEV-398 | New | Add X-Road Message Protocol for REST on GitHub as a Markdown document. X-Road Message Protocol for REST is used between information systems and X-Road Security Servers to consume and produce REST services. |
| XRDDEV-400 | Improvement | Return a descriptive error message when getWsdl metaservice is invoked for a REST service. |
| XRDDEV-412 | Improvement | Prevent SOAP service calls from REST interface and REST service calls from SOAP interface. X-Road does not provide automatic message/protocol conversions between SOAP and REST services. Therefore, services must be consumed using their native implementations – SOAP or REST. |
| XRDDEV-418 | Fix | Validate REST implementation against X-Road Message Protocol for REST, and align REST implementation with the specification. |
| XRDDEV-419 | New | Include the unique message id implemented in task XRDDEV-230 in the REST message signature and HTTP request headers. The unique message id is included in REST request and response messages in the "X-Road-Request-Id" HTTP header. |
| XRDDEV-423 | Fix | Fix error in running operational monitor database migrations on upgrade/reinstall on RHEL7. |
| XRDDEV-426 | Fix | Fix performance regression and native memory leak in message log database archiving. |
| XRDDEV-432 | Fix | Prevent adding new REST services using a service code that already exists under the same subsystem. REST service codes must be unique within a subsystem. The same service code can be used under different subsystems. |
| XRDDEV-439 | Fix | Fix error in message log cleaning when there are more than ~50k messages to clean. Instead of deleting records from message log in a single query, records are deleted in batches (default: 10 000 records per batch). In addition, cleaning of message log is done 4 times a day (2 times a day in versions < 6.21.0) and cleaning does not overlap with archiving. |
| XRDDEV-443 | Fix | Fix error in updating REST service code. Before the fix updating the service code field of a REST service removed all the access rights from the service. |
Issue types: fix (bug fix or technical debt), improvement (improvement to an existing feature), new (a new feature).
