phoss-directory

The official Peppol Directory (PD; https://directory.peppol.eu).

This project is part of my Peppol solution stack. See https://github.com/phax/peppol for other components and libraries in that area.

This project is split into the following sub-projects (all require Java 11 or newer):

• phoss-directory-indexer - the PD indexer part
• phoss-directory-publisher - the PD publisher web application
• phoss-directory-client - a client library to be added to SMP servers to force indexing in the PD
• phoss-directory-searchapi - a client library for easier use of the Directory search REST API (since v0.7.2)

Previous modules:

• phoss-directory-businesscard - the common Business Card API - until v0.12.3; then moved to com.helger.peppol:peppol-directory-businesscard in https://github.com/phax/peppol-commons

• Production version is available at https://directory.peppol.eu (for Peppol)

  • It can only handle participants registered at the SML
  • For the indexing REST API, a client certificate (SMP production) is needed

• Test version is available at https://test-directory.peppol.eu

  • It can only handle participants registered at the SMK
  • For the indexing REST API, a client certificate (SMP test) is needed

Building requirements

To build the PD software you need at least Java 11 and Apache Maven 3.x.

Additionally to the contained projects you MAY need the latest SNAPSHOT of ph-oton as part of your build environment.

PD Client

The PD client is a small Java library that uses Apache HttpClient to connect to an arbitrary phoss Directory Indexer to perform all the allowed operations (get, create/update, delete).

Client Configuration resolution

The PD client uses ph-config to resolve configuration items. See https://github.com/phax/ph-commons/wiki/ph-config for the details on the resolution logic.

Note: the old file pd-client.properties is still evaluated for backwards-compatibility reasons but with lower priority. It will be removed in the future.

Client Configuration properties

Note: the configuration properties were heavily renamed in v0.10.0. Previous old names are shown in brackets.

The following configuration items are supported by the PD Client:

• pdclient.keystore.type (old: keystore.type) (since v0.6.0) - the type of the keystore. Can be JKS or PKCS12 (case insensitive). Defaults to JKS.
• pdclient.keystore.path (old: keystore.path) - the path to the keystore where the SMP certificate is contained
• pdclient.keystore.password (old: keystore.password) - the password to open the key store
• pdclient.keystore.key.alias (old: keystore.key.alias) - the alias in the key store that denotes the SMP key
• pdclient.keystore.key.password (old: keystore.key.password) - the password to open the key in the key store
• pdclient.truststore.type (old: truststore.type) (since v0.6.0) - the type of the keystore. Can be JKS or PKCS12 (case insensitive). Defaults to JKS.
• pdclient.truststore.path (old: truststore.path) (since v0.5.1) - the path to the trust store, where the public certificates of the phoss Directory servers are contained. Defaults to truststore/pd-client.truststore.jks
• pdclient.truststore.password (old: truststore.password) (since v0.5.1) - the password to open the truststore store. Defaults to peppol
• http.proxy.host (old: http.proxyHost) - the HTTP proxy host for HTTP connections only. No default.
• http.proxy.port (old: http.proxyPort) - the HTTP proxy port for http connections only. No default.
• Removed in 0.10.0: https.proxyHost - the HTTP proxy host for https connections only. No default.
• Removed in 0.10.0: https.proxyPort - the HTTP proxy port for https connections only. No default.
• http.proxy.username (old: proxy.username) (since v0.6.0) - the proxy username if http or https proxy is enabled. No default.
• http.proxy.password (old: proxy.password) (since v0.6.0) - the proxy password if http or https proxy is enabled. No default.
• http.connect.timeout.ms (old: connect.timeout.ms) (since v0.6.0) - the connection timeout in milliseconds to connect to the server. The default value is 5000 (5 seconds). A value of 0 means indefinite. A value of -1 means using the system default.
• http.response.timeout.ms (old: http.request.timeout.ms or request.timeout.ms) (since v0.10.3) - the response/request/read timeout in milliseconds to read from the server. The default value is 10000 (10 seconds). A value of 0 means indefinite. A value of -1 means using the system default.
• https.hostname-verification.disabled (since v0.5.1) - a boolean value to indicate if https hostname verification should be disabled (true) or enabled (false). The default value is true.

Example PD Client configuration properties:

# Key store with SMP key (required)
pdclient.keystore.type         = jks
pdclient.keystore.path         = smp.pilot.jks
pdclient.keystore.password     = password
pdclient.keystore.key.alias    = smp.pilot
pdclient.keystore.key.password = password

# Default trust store (optional)
pdclient.truststore.type     = jks
pdclient.truststore.path     = truststore/pd-client.truststore.jks
pdclient.truststore.password = peppol

# TLS settings
https.hostname-verification.disabled = false

PD Indexer

The PD Indexer is a REST component that is responsible for taking indexing requests from SMPs and processes them in a queue (Peppol SMP client certificate required). Only the Peppol participant identifiers are taken and the PD Indexer is responsible for querying the respective SMP data directly. Therefore the respective SMP must have the appropriate Extension element of the service group filled with the business information metadata as required by PD. Please see the PD specification for a detailed description of the required data format as well as for the REST interface.

PD Publisher

The PD Publisher is the publicly accessible web site with listing and search functionality for certain participants.
