WHAT THIS PAGE EXPLAINS

What your organization will do after registration begins

You can use this page to understand the complete path through Organization Identification, secure Self-Service access, Trust Services, Member Directory activation, Security Server setup and certificates, Subsystem registration, and the provision or consumption of data services. Your organization completes each part when it becomes relevant; not everything must be ready on the first day.

THE COMPLETE PATH

From Organization Identification to operational data exchange

1.
ORGANIZATION IDENTIFICATION

Register and identify your organization

WHAT HAPPENS

First, you select an available Organization Identification method. You then complete the application for the selected method and provide the required organization information. After the application is submitted, Roksnet reserves a Member Code and processes the application using that method.

Available internationally

Use a SWIFT or SEPA bank transfer from an account that enables Roksnet to verify your organization. This route is also available to organizations in the EU and Japan.

Additional EU option

If your organization is established in the European Union, you may instead submit an application bearing its qualified electronic seal.

Additional Japan option

If your organization is established in Japan, you may instead complete the Declaration of Accession through the applicable notarial or apostille route.

WHAT YOU SHOULD PREPARE

Have your organization’s legal name, address, country, organization type, national registration identifier, registering or establishing authority, and the information or documents required for the applicable route ready.

IF COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY​

Your organization obtains Roksnet Framework Membership and becomes a Roksnet Member. The reserved Member Code becomes its active Roksnet identity. Membership in the Member Directory and other Roksnet Services are activated separately.

2.
MEMBER ONBOARDING

Establish secure Self-Service access

WHAT HAPPENS

Your organization’s Administrator verifies the required organization-controlled email address and mobile phone number, creates a password, configures authenticator-app 2FA, and confirms the applicable Roksnet Framework documents through the authenticated account. Your organization then provides its general contact and profile information.

WHAT YOU SHOULD PREPARE

Your Administrator needs an organization-controlled email address and mobile phone number, access to an authenticator application, and your organization’s general contact and profile information.

IF COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY​

Your organization can securely administer Membership, services, billing, and technical registrations in Self-Service.

3.
ROKSNET TRUST SERVICES

Establish the Trust Services relationship

WHAT HAPPENS

Your organization submits a completed Roksnet Trust Services Application signed by an Authorised Signatory acting on its behalf, together with a current registration or establishment document issued by the relevant register or authority. Roksnet reviews the application and may request additional information.

Note: The service relationship supports authentication, organizational signing, certificate validation, and timestamping required for X-Road use within the Roksnet Framework.

WHAT YOU SHOULD PREPARE

You will need an Authorised Signatory and a current registration or establishment document that confirms your organization’s name, registration identifier, and issuing authority.

IF COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY​

Your organization can order the certificates and supporting Trust Services required during Security Server setup.

4.
MEMBER DIRECTORY

Activate Membership in the Member Directory

WHAT HAPPENS

Your organization provides the billing information required for the paid service, reviews the applicable pricing, and activates Membership in the Member Directory. Its Member identity is registered in the Roksnet DEV and PROD environments, and your organization controls the visibility of its profile.

WHAT YOU SHOULD PREPARE

Membership in the Member Directory is a separate paid service. Activation registers your organization’s Member identity; Security Server and Subsystem registrations are completed separately.

IF COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY​

Your organization’s Member identity is registered in both Roksnet environments and can serve as the basis for later Security Server and Subsystem registrations.

5.
SECURITY SERVER AND CERTIFICATES

Install, configure, certify, and register a Security Server

WHAT HAPPENS

Your organization orders Security Server registration capacity and provides a supported server. Your technical team installs X-Road, imports the Roksnet configuration anchor, and generates the required certificate signing requests.

 

Your organization submits the technical certificate requests through Self-Service. Your technical team installs the issued certificates, configures the supporting services, and submits the Security Server registration request from the Security Server.

WHAT YOU SHOULD PREPARE

Your organization will need infrastructure it hosts or controls, technical administration capability, the applicable DEV or PROD configuration, registration capacity, certificate orders, key protection, network configuration, monitoring, backups, and ongoing Security Server operation.

IF COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY​

Your Security Server is registered in the selected environment and can establish authenticated, signed, and encrypted X-Road connections.

6.
SUBSYSTEM REGISTRATION

Connect and register participating information systems

WHAT HAPPENS

Your organization orders Subsystem registration capacity. Your technical team defines the required Subsystem identities, adds each participating information system as a Security Server client, and submits the registration request from the Security Server.

WHAT YOU SHOULD PREPARE

Identify the information systems to connect, their intended Subsystem codes and environments, the required registration capacity, and responsibility for each integration.

IF COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY​

The registered Subsystem can receive access to data services or publish data services through your organization’s Security Server.

7.
DATA SERVICES

Provide data services, consume them, or do both

WHAT HAPPENS

To consume data services: your organization agrees on access with the service provider, which grants your registered Subsystem access to the relevant REST/OpenAPI or SOAP/WSDL data services.

 

To provide data services: your technical team connects the backend and publishes X-Road-compatible data services. Your organization grants access to approved consumer Subsystems.

Note: Data travels directly between participating Security Servers. The Member Directory distributes the configuration and registration information required for the exchange but does not store or proxy the exchanged payload.

WHAT YOU SHOULD PREPARE

Identify the intended use case, participating information systems, expected counterparties, required data services, access decisions, and operational responsibility. These details may be refined during implementation and do not prevent registration.

IF COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY​

Your organization can begin operational data exchange after the required registrations and access arrangements succeed, the integration is configured, and the first exchange completes successfully.

Roksnet provides the framework services. Your organization operates its environment.

Roksnet provides

Organization Identification and Framework Membership administration, Self-Service, the Member Directory, registration processing, and the Roksnet Services separately activated or ordered by your organization.

Your organization remains responsible for

Its Security Server and connected systems, private keys, integrations, access and counterparty decisions, exchanged data, and compliance with applicable law and accepted Roksnet documents.

Membership, Trust Services, Security Server registration capacity, and Subsystem registration capacity are separate services. Review current fees and binding documents before starting.
