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.
