NIC SMS Integration

Overview

Integrate the NIC SMS Gateway for secure, DLT-compliant SMS delivery in DIGIT.

Why use NIC SMS?

• Secure (TLS 1.2 + certificate)

• DLT-compliant (template IDs)

• Government sender ID

• Customizable message parameters

Steps

1

Add NIC SMS Service Code

File: egov-notification-sms/src/main/java/org/egov/web/notification/sms/service/impl/NICSMSServiceImpl.java

• Create this file.

• Paste the NIC SMS integration Java class code.

• This code:

  • Sends SMS securely to NIC via HTTPS.

  • Handles DLT template IDs.

  • Uses SSL certificate for authentication.

2

Place the NIC Certificate

File: egov-notification-sms/src/main/resources/smsgwsmsgovin.cer

• Put the NIC .cer certificate file here.

• Needed for a secure connection if sms.verify.certificate=true.

3

Update Environment Config

File: Your environment YAML file (like values.yaml or dev.yaml)

• Add/update these configs under egov-notification-sms:

  sms-provider-url: "https://smsgw.sms.gov.in/failsafe/MLink"
  sms.provider.class: "NIC"
  sms.verify.certificate: "true"
  sms.senderid: "IUPYOG"
  sms.provider.entityid: "1201160648389652723"
  sms.default.tmplid: "1"
  sms.enabled: "true"
  # ...other required parameters

• Ensure that only the NIC is active as the SMS provider.

4

Build & Deploy

• Run:

  mvn clean install

• Deploy the updated egov-notification-sms service to your environment (e.g., Kubernetes).
