OCM setup - OCM_PROVIDER_ID

freezziey · March 10, 2022, 10:05am

When setting up OCM, what exactly is the OCM_PROVIDER_ID supposed to be? Does it need to be registered somewhere?
Could it be the server’s URL as well or does it need to be an arbitrary random string (or even secret)?

Hello.

For how to define OCM_PROVIDER_ID you can refer to this document, an unique random string is OK.

in case others end up here as well: you can use the command line tool uuidgen to generate random UUIDs of this format. this info could be added to the docs.
