Mar 1, 2026March 2026 monthly summary for nordic-institute/X-Road focusing on OpenBao integration within the project. Delivered repository setup and maintenance enhancements for OpenBao, including configuration, authentication, and optional mirror support. Implemented robust fallback mechanisms for downloading necessary keys during upgrades and streamlined installation by removing redundant X-Road dependency repositories now that OpenBao official repositories are available. This work improves upgrade reliability, accelerates environment provisioning, and aligns with OpenBao standards for easier maintenance and future upgrades to X-Road 8.

Feb 1, 2026February 2026 — nordic-institute/X-Road: Delivered OpenBao-based password store with signer autologin and introduced Kubernetes readiness probes to boost reliability. Implemented autologin PIN storage/retrieval via OpenBao, added timeout/retry logic with resilience4j, and established an upgrade path with 7->8 migration scripts. Readiness probes reuse Quarkus health checks for OpenBao and cover happy-path scenarios with unit/integration tests. Hardened build stability by suppressing a UI vulnerability and ensured backup-manager behavior when not running in Kubernetes.

Sep 1, 2025September 2025 monthly summary focused on delivering secure, scalable TLS credential management and streamlined secret handling for X-Road. Key work included deprecating the Nginx front-end and migrating TLS credential storage to Vault/OpenBao KV, plus introducing an automated migration script for TLS keys/certificates from filesystem to a centralized secret store. This work also encompassed a refactor of authentication provider configuration across management services to better align with Vault-based secret management. The combined effort improved security, reduced operational complexity, and laid groundwork for future secret-management enhancements.
