2024.12.20 review for SML Operational Improvements
- Philip Helger
- Erwin Wulterkens
The eDEC Change Management Board has approved release candidates of the following eDelivery specifications:
Peppol Policy for use of Identifiers v4.4.0 updating v4.3.0
Peppol Service Metadata Locator v1.3.0 updating v1.2.0
Peppol Service Metadata Publishing v1.4.0 updating v1.3.0
The approval process requires a review by OpenPeppol members.
The specification changes target to modify the SMP lookup to use DNS “NAPTR” records instead of “CNAME” records with the goal to effectively reduce the amount of DNS entries in the DNS zone used by Peppol. Additionally, it requires all SMP instances to be operated with a secure network connection only (https).
Each specification document is provided in two versions: a) the source Word document with track changes enabled and b) as a PDF document suitable for printing, with all changes accepted.
Note: eDEC is working on a supporting migration guideline for these changes. The guideline is targeted to be ready before the final specifications are published.
