Provider Configuration

Before Registrars can be onboarded, the Provider must create a Provider Configuration. The Provider Configuration defines the onboarding requirements for Registrar parties. These requirements determine which parties can be onboarded as Registrar.

​

Purpose

The Provider Configuration allows the Provider to define additional permissioning requirements for registrar onboarding. These requirements are based on credential contracts. A credential proves that a party satisfies a specific claim, for example that it is authorized to act as a registrar for a provider.

​

Workflow

1. The Provider creates a Provider Configuration.
2. The Provider defines the required credential claims for registrar onboarding.
3. The credential requirements specify:
   • The credential issuer
   • The required claim property.
   • The required claim value.
4. Parties that want to onboard as registrars must satisfy these requirements.
5. The Provider reviews registrar onboarding requests and accepts or rejects them.

Credential contracts can be created directly in the Registry App. If no credential requirements are defined, any party may request a Registrar Service. The Provider still retains control because each Registrar Service request must be accepted by the Provider.
