Environment Variables

These environment variables control service behavior outside of the YAML configuration file.

Variable	Description	Example
VC_CONFIG_YAML	Path to the YAML configuration file. Each service reads this on startup.	config.yaml
SSL_CERT_FILE	Path to a CA certificate file that Go's crypto/x509 trusts for TLS verification. Required when services use self-signed or private CA certificates for inter-service HTTPS.	/pki/rootCA.crt

common (Top-level)

Shared configuration used across all services.

common

Path: .common

Constraint (mongo, sql, ha): Mongo.URI is required when SQL.Backend is 'mongo' (the default primary-store backend) or when HA.Enable is true (HA caching has no relational backend yet, so it always uses Mongo); not required for a pure relational deployment (a non-mongo SQL.Backend with HA disabled).

Field	Type	Description	Example	Default	Required
production	bool	Production mode	-	true	No
log	object	Logging configuration	-	-	No
mongo	object	MongoDB configuration	-	-	No
sql	object	Relational database configuration, used by services that support a relational storage backend as an alternative to MongoDB.	-	-	No
tracing	object	OpenTelemetry tracing configuration	-	-	No
metrics	object	OpenTelemetry metrics configuration	-	-	No
kafka	object	Kafka message broker configuration	-	-	No
secret_file_path	string	Path to a separate YAML file containing secrets; when set, secret values in config.yaml are cleared and only non-empty fields from the secrets file are applied.	"/etc/vc/secrets.yaml"	-	No
ha	object	High-availability mode. When Enable is true, caches use MongoDB (Common.Mongo.URI) instead of in-memory storage so state is shared across instances.	-	-	No
credential_registry	object	An optional TS11 credential metadata registry client, used as an add-on to (not a replacement for) the existing vctm_file_path/vctm_url/mddl_file_path/mddl_url per-scope configuration: disabled by default, so existing deployments are unaffected until this is explicitly enabled and at least one scope sets vct or doctype instead of a file/URL.	-	-	No
branding	object	Custom branding configuration (logo and favicon paths)	-	-	No
credential_metadata	object	OAuth2 scope values to their credential configuration, required by apigw, issuer, and verifier Key: OAuth2 scope (e.g., "pid", "ehic", "diploma") - matches AuthorizationContext.Scope Each entry contains the VCTM reference, format, and other configuration for that credential type	-	-	No

Field	Type	Description	Example	Default	Required
folder_path	string	Path to the log folder	"/var/log/vc"	-	No

mongo

Path: .common.mongo

Field	Type	Description	Example	Default	Required
uri	string	MongoDB connection URI. Required when Common.SQL.Backend is "mongo" (the default primary-store backend) or when Common.HA.Enable is true (pkg/cache has no relational backend yet, so HA caching always uses Mongo regardless of the primary store's backend). Enforced by a Common-level struct validation rather than a plain "required" tag here, since the requirement depends on sibling fields of Common, not of Mongo.	"mongodb://user:password@mongo:27017/vc"	-	No
tls	bool	TLS for the MongoDB connection. Can also be enabled via the connection URI parameter "tls=true".	-	false	No
ca_file_path	string	Path to a PEM-encoded CA certificate used to verify the MongoDB server's certificate. When empty, the system root CAs are used.	-	-	No
cert_file_path	string	Path to a PEM-encoded client certificate for mutual TLS (mTLS).	-	-	Yes (if key_file_path set)
key_file_path	string	Path to a PEM-encoded client private key for mutual TLS (mTLS).	-	-	Yes (if cert_file_path set)

sql

Path: .common.sql

Constraint (postgres, mariadb): When Backend is 'postgres', Postgres.Host and Postgres.User are required; when Backend is 'mariadb', MariaDB.Host and MariaDB.User are required. Enforced at the SQL struct level (rather than required_if tags on PostgresConfig/MariaDBConfig themselves) because 'Backend' lives on the parent SQL struct, not on those nested structs.

support a relational storage backend as an alternative to MongoDB. Backend selection is config-time only: a running service uses exactly one backend for its whole lifetime.

Field	Type	Description	Example	Default	Required
backend	string	Backend selects the storage backend for services that support relational storage. "mongo" (default, current behavior) keeps existing Mongo-backed behavior unchanged; "postgres" and "mariadb" select the corresponding relational backend.	-	mongo	No

host	string	Postgres server hostname. Required when Common.SQL.Backend is "postgres"; enforced by a SQL-level struct validation rather than a plain "required_if" tag here, since "Backend" lives on the parent SQL struct, not on PostgresConfig, and required_if can only reference sibling fields.	"postgres"	-	No
port	int	Postgres server port	-	5432	No
user	string	Postgres connection user. Required when Common.SQL.Backend is "postgres" (see Host doc comment for why this isn't a required_if tag).	-	-	No

max_idle_conns	int	Maximum number of idle connections in the pool.	-	5	No

mariadb

Path: .common.sql.mariadb

Constraint (jwks, oidc): JWKS and OIDC are mutually exclusive — enable at most one.

Constraint (rules, rules_file): Authorization rules require JWKS or OIDC to be enabled.

JWKS and OIDC are mutually exclusive If neither is enabled, no authentication is applied (open access)

When Rules (and/or RulesFile) are configured, each authenticated request is checked against a SPOCP engine. A query of the form

(vc (service <SERVICE>)(method <HTTP_METHOD>)(path <REQUEST_PATH>)(subject <JWT_SUBJECT>)(authentic_source <SOURCE>)(scope <SCOPE>))

is evaluated; the request is allowed only if a matching rule exists. All six parts are required in every rule. Use * as wildcard for fields you don't want to restrict. The <SERVICE> value is supplied by the calling service at middleware registration time. When two services share endpoints, rules for one service do not grant access to the other. When no rules are configured, any valid Bearer JWT grants access.

Field	Type	Description	Example	Default	Required
jwks	object	Static JWKS Bearer token authentication configuration When enabled, requests are validated against a manually configured JWKS URL	-	-	No

• When PDPURL is empty: "allow all" mode - keys are resolved but always considered trusted

Field	Type	Description	Example	Default	Required
pdp_url	string	URL of the AuthZEN PDP (Policy Decision Point) service for trust evaluation. When set, operates in "default deny" mode - trust decisions require PDP approval. When empty, operates in "allow all" mode - resolved keys are always considered trusted.	"https://trust.sunet.se/pdp"	-	No
local_did_methods	[]string	Which DID methods can be resolved locally without go-trust. Self-contained methods like "did:key" and "did:jwk" are always resolved locally.	-	["did:key", "did:jwk"]	No
trust_policies	object	Per-role trust evaluation policies. The key is the role (e.g., "issuer", "verifier") and the value contains policy settings.	-	-	No

["ES256", "ES384", "ES512", "EdDSA"]	-	No
wallet_attestation	object	Wallet attestation-based client authentication. This is a trust-evaluation mechanism (delegates to the PDP above), so it lives here rather than under delivery.openid4vci.	-	-	No

trust_policies entry

Path: .apigw.trust.trust_policies.<role>, .verifier.trust.trust_policies.<role>

Field	Type	Description	Example	Default	Required
trust_frameworks	[]string	The accepted trust frameworks for this role.	["did:web", "did:ebsi", "etsi-tl", "openid-federation", "x509"]	-	No
trust_anchors	[]string	Trusted root entities for this role. Format depends on the trust framework (e.g., DID for did:web, federation entity for OpenID Fed).	-	-	No
require_revocation_check	bool	RequireRevocationCheck enforces revocation status checking for this role. Default: false	-	false	No

wallet_attestation

Path: .apigw.trust.wallet_attestation, .verifier.trust.wallet_attestation

Field	Type	Description	Example	Default	Required
enabled	bool	Wallet attestation-based authentication. When true and PDPURL is configured, wallets can authenticate using a provider-signed attestation JWT instead of pre-registration in Clients. The PDP validates the wallet provider against configured trust lists/federation. PKCE remains mandatory as the primary code-binding mechanism.	-	false	No
policy	object	SPOCP-based authorization for wallet attestation. When configured, after the PDP validates the wallet provider, the SPOCP engine checks whether the attestation tier (attestation_source) is authorized for the requested scope. When empty, all trusted wallets are authorized (default open).	-	-	No
mode	string	Mode restricts which WIA trust model this deployment accepts, matching the same "etsi"/"ietf" terminology used by go-wallet-backend's WIAConfig.Mode: - "etsi": require x5c (EC TS03 v1.5.2 / ETSI TS 119 472-3 model, identity verified against the Trusted List for Wallet Providers). A WIA without x5c is rejected before signature verification. - "ietf": require iss + no x5c (the plain IETF draft-ietf-oauth-attestation-based-client-auth format, resolved via JWKS discovery — no ARF/ETSI counterpart). A WIA with x5c is rejected before signature verification. - "" (default): accept either format, as determined by whether the WIA carries an x5c header or an iss claim — preserves pre-Mode behavior for deployments that haven't opted into pinning one trust model. Any other value is treated the same as "" (a warning is logged, not a startup failure — this package has no config.Validate() convention to hard-fail against). Pinning this matters beyond documentation: without it, an operator expecting only ARF-conformant ("etsi") wallets would still silently accept an iss/JWKS-based ("ietf") WIA from a misconfigured or malicious wallet, trusting a JWKS discovery chain instead of the Trusted List for Wallet Providers PKI anchor.	-	-	No

policy

Path: .apigw.trust.wallet_attestation.policy, .verifier.trust.wallet_attestation.policy

Each rule is an S-expression of the form:

(wallet (attestation_source <tier>)(scope <scope>)(issuer <provider>))

Use * as wildcard. When no rules are configured, any trusted wallet is authorized. Example rules:

(wallet (attestation_source ios_app_attest)(scope pid)(issuer *)) — allow iOS Tier 4+ for PID (wallet (attestation_source android_play_integrity)(scope pid)(issuer *)) — allow Android Tier 4+ for PID (wallet (attestation_source *)(scope ehic)(issuer *)) — allow any tier for EHIC

Secrets File Reference

The structure of the separate secrets file.

Secrets file structure

Path: (root)

When Common.SecretFilePath is set, ApplySecrets merges these values into the main config: the Mongo URI is only used when the main config has none. For each service section (apigw, registry, verifier) that is present in the secrets file, the corresponding secret fields in the main config are cleared and replaced by the secrets-file values. Sections omitted from the secrets file are left untouched.
