In the night of March 17th to 18th, 2025, at 01:00 CET, we will complete the final phase of the migration from SIDN to Caesar Groep. The last two components that require temporary downtime are the Keyshare Server and MyYivi. These systems play a crucial role in Yivi's authentication and identity management services, and we want to ensure a smooth transition with minimal disruption.

Migration Plan​

To ensure a seamless transition, we have prepared the following steps:

  • Yivi App Update - March 11th, 2025
    • A Yivi App release will update the Keyshare Server endpoint from https://irma.sidn.nl/tomcat/irma_keyshare_server to https://keyshare.yivi.app.
    • The trust scheme will be changed to use the new Keyshare Server.
    • During this transition, https://keyshare.yivi.app will act as a reverse proxy to the existing SIDN Keyshare Server, ensuring uninterrupted service.
  • Final Migration - March 18th, 2025
    • At 01:00 CET, the SIDN Keyshare Server will be shut down.
    • The Keyshare database will be migrated to our new infrastructure.
    • The reverse proxy at https://keyshare.yivi.app will be removed and traffic will be routed to , and the new Keyshare Server will be brought online.
    • The DNS for irma.sidn.nl will be updated to redirect users who have not yet updated their app to the new environment.

Expected Impact​

There is no expected impact regarding the Yivi App update on the 11th of March.

There is approximately 1 hour of expected downtime for users in the night of the 17th-18th of March Users will receive errors when entering the pin in Yivi.

What can you do?​

Organizations using Yivi should take the following steps to mitigate potential issues:

  • Verify Integrations: Ensure all integrations with Yivi services continue to function correctly after the migration.
  • Inform Users: Notify your users about the scheduled downtime to manage expectations and reduce support requests.

January update - Migration announcement

In our effort to invest in the long-term sustainability of Yivi, we are migrating all Yivi components, including core components, away from SIDN to our reliable hosting environment. Along the way, we are addressing technical debt and implementing improvements where possible.

Additionally, we are collaborating with the Privacy By Design Foundation to migrate critical components, essential to the Yivi ecosystem, away from their servers to our hosting environment. Caesar Groep is taking charge to ensure the foundation no longer runs critical components essential to the Yivi ecosystem.

This blog post outlines the migration's impact. If you are affected in any way or have questions, feel free to contact us.
