• Smart ID is installed, see Deploy Smart ID.

1. Go to the application folder, for example <SMARTIDHOME>/docker/compose/messaging.

2. Run this command:

   Code Block
   title Start messaging
   ... docker-compose start

   
   

Generate an Identity Manager (IDM) client

1. Open a browser and go to the following URL to generate an 'idm' client:

   Code Block
   title Example: Generate 'idm' client URL
   http://<MESSAGING-HOST>:20400/util/generateclient/idm

   
   

2. Copy the content from the resulting web page and paste it into the allowed-clients section of the messaging service configuration file. Then modify it according to your system setup. This enables, for example, that an issued Mobile ID or Smart Card issued in Identity Manager, can be used in Digital Access.
   

   Code Block
   title Example of a configured 'idm' client
   # X-Api-Key: aWRtOjQ0NjAyMDEzNGVlODQyMmRiNTc2OWZiZWY5MTA0YTQxNTc3Mjg2MTAyMzZkNGRkMWE0YjM3ZjkzNWRhYjQxMGE= - client-id: idm   key: 446020134ee8422db5769fbef9104a4157728610236d4dd1a4b37f935dab410a group: smartid  # Callback Basic Auth is Required for Identity Manager callback.   callback-basic-auth: username:password   # The callback URL base for Identity Manager   callback-url: https://<IDM-HOST>/ws/hermod

   
   

   Note
   If you are deploying Identity Manager with war files, the callback url is https://<IDM-HOST>/prime_explorer/ws/hermod

   
   

Generate a Digital Access (DA) client

1. Open a browser and go to the following URL to generate a 'da' client:
   

   Code Block
   title Example: Generate 'da' client URL
   http://<MESSAGING-HOST>:20400/util/generateclient/da

   
   

2. Copy the content from the resulting web page and paste it into the allowed-clients section of the messaging service configuration file. Then modify it according to your system setup.
   

   Code Block
   title Example of a configured 'da' client
   # X-Api-Key: ZGE6YjIwZjBmZDkwYThiNDhjNWFhOWI2OTRiOGU3ZGQxMWUyMDA0MDI5NWFmYjY0NmVhYmRjODk4MDFiNjVkZGUzNg== - client-id: da key: b20f0fd90a8b48c5aa9b694b8e7dd11e20040295afb646eabdc89801b65dde36 group: smartid   # The callback URL base for Digital Access.   callback-url: https://<DA-HOST>/https/api/rest/v3.0/personalmessaging

   
   

1. Place any certificates used for the callback connection in the cacerts/ folder, in base64 format (PEM) with the .cer file extension.

2. When the messaging service start, you will see logs like
   INFO: Adding certificate xxx.cer using alias xxx
   printed before the big "Hermod" ASCII art, see this example:

   Code Block
   ... INFO: Adding certificate xxx.cer using alias xxx ... ██╗ ██╗███████╗██████╗ ███╗ ███╗ ██████╗ ██████╗ ██║ ██║██╔════╝██╔══██╗████╗ ████║██╔═══██╗██╔══██╗ ███████║█████╗ ██████╔╝██╔████╔██║██║ ██║██║ ██║ ██╔══██║██╔══╝ ██╔══██╗██║╚██╔╝██║██║ ██║██║ ██║ ██║ ██║███████╗██║ ██║██║ ╚═╝ ██║╚██████╔╝██████╔╝ ╚═╝ ╚═╝╚══════╝╚═╝ ╚═╝╚═╝ ╚═╝ ╚═════╝ ╚═════╝ ... ...

    

3. If you don't see any logs, there is something wrong with either the mapped directory or the certificate files themselves.
   1. Make sure that the cacerts folder has right permissions (e.g. 755)
   2. Make sure that you have used the correct syntax for mounting directories to the docker container in docker-compose.yml.

The public-url setting in hermod-conf.yml is the URL that external apps, such as Smart ID Mobile App and Smart ID Desktop App will connect to. You must be able to reach it from internet and TLS must be used to make sure that the external apps work.

• Set the public-url, see this example:

  Code Block
  title Example: Set public-url
  ... # Message server library settings message-server-library: public-url: https://<MESSAGING-SERVER>/ms

  
  

When you use TLS for the public-url, you need to either:

• terminate SSL in ingress/proxy traefik

OR

• configure the server.ssl section in config/hermod-conf.yml. This is described below.

1. Place your certificates (p12 format) in the SmartID certs folder which is mapped to a certificates folder inside the running docker container. In the example below, the file smartidtls.p12 is used.
2. Enable the setting as seen below and make sure to set the correct password.

server:
  ssl:
    enabled: true
    key-store: /home/docker/certificates/smartidtls.p12
    key-store-password: "<somepass>"
    keyStoreType: PKCS12

The database for Smart ID Messaging must be initialized using files for the specific database engine and version of Smart ID Messaging.

For a new installation, do the following:

1. Use the files called Vx.y.z__base_version.sql matching the specific version (for example, V3.2.0__base_version.sql).

For an upgrade, do the following:

1. Use all files between the previous version and the new version which are not named Vx.y.z__base_version.sql (for example, V2.5.1__new_indexes.sql, V3.1.1__lifesign_table.sql etc)
2. You might have to edit the files to match the correct database user.
