Worked on the OpenConext-engineblock repository, delivering features and stability improvements across authentication, metadata handling, and platform modernization. Focused on backend development using PHP, JavaScript, and Symfony, the work included expanding integration and unit test coverage, refactoring code for PHP 8.5 compatibility, and enhancing SAML authentication reliability with correlation ID logging. Implemented new APIs, improved error handling, and streamlined configuration by removing obsolete feature flags. Upgraded UI themes and modernized serialization logic to align with evolving standards. The approach emphasized security best practices, maintainability, and observability, resulting in a more robust, testable, and developer-friendly codebase over five months.

Jun 1, 2026June 2026: Delivered key configuration cleanup in OpenConext-engineblock by removing the non-functional eb.encrypted_assertions_require_outer_signature feature flag and associated references. This reduces confusion, eliminates a maintenance burden carried since 2018, and aligns behavior with the SAML2 library, improving reliability and onboarding. Changes touched engineblock_features.yaml, parameters.yml.dist, and Behat tests; closes #2002 with commit 6adfb5676f961ea6446e1dc94ed84af845ebcecb.
