Common Operations

Register new user

In order to use OpenCAPIF we must add a new user. This new user can onboard/register any Invokers or Providers.

That new user must be created by administrator of Register Service and with the credentials shared by administrator, the new user can get the access_token by requesting it to Register service.

The steps to register a new user at Register Service are:

Admin create User

  * Include basic Auth Header with Admin user/password
* Retrieve **access_token** and the urls needed for next requests from response body [user_getauth_response_body_example]
  1. Onboard Invoker:
 * Send **POST** to **https://{CAPIF_HOSTNAME}/api-invoker-management/v1/onboardedInvokers**
 * Reference Request Body: [invoker onboarding body]
