This page contains the process, planning and status of establishing connections between participating Member States is presented.

Establishing connections

The DBA pilot is establishing and testing connections between participating Member States, using testcases and connectathons. During specific timeslots, experts of 2 (or more) countries join with technical experts of the DE4A program. The meetings are online, and focus on establishing the connection between DE4A Connectors or eIDAS nodes. Pre-defined testcases are used to collect necessary proof that the connection is functioning correct. Any last-minute errors are being resolved immediately (if possible).

DE4A Connector

Process

For establishing connections between DE4A Conectors of participating Member States the following steps are performed:

  1. Preparation
    • collecting necessary information for configuration of the common components.
  2. Local testing
    • setting up the national DE4A Connector and connecting this to a DE4A Connector in the DE4A playground.
  3. Connectivity testing
    • testing a full chain of components, using a Mocked DE, the national DE4A Connector (acting as a DT or DR), the playground DE4A Connector (acting as a DR or DT) and a Mocked DO.
  4. Connectathon
    • testing a full chain of components, using a Mocked DE, one national DE4A Connector (acting as a DT or DR), another national DE4A Connector (acting as a DR or DT) and a Mocked DO (Milestone 2 and 3)
    • testing a full chain of components, using a real DE, one national DE4A Connector (acting as a DT or DR), another national DE4A Connector (acting as a DR or DT) and a real DO (Milestone 4)

During the OOP TS connectathons, these test cases and preparations are being used / executed.

Versions of the connector

The DE4A Connector used for piloting will be developed in 2 main versions:

  • V1: DE4A Connector supporting the intermediation pattern for piloting UC1
  • V2: DE4A Connector supporting the intermediation pattern for UC1 the S&N and Lookup pattern for UC2

Only the V1 connector will be used in the first iteration (as only UC1 will be piloted in the first iteration). For the final iteration, only the V2 connector will be used. File:20210824 Test cases DE4A cross-border AT-NL-RO-SE.xlsx
