SiVa X-Road validation service

SiVa X-Road validation service is also Spring Boot executable JAR application and also should be installed as Linux service. X-Road validation service communicates with SiVa web application over HTTP and default port is 8081

X-Road separate installation is required to avoid BouncyCastle libraries version conflicts and class loader issues.

Into XRoad v6 security server the SiVa validation service will be registered to provide service to other organisations using XRoad infrastructure. Setting up XRoad Security server is out of scope for SiVa documentaiton.
