OpenTV ENTera & OpenTV Platform Documentation

Creating an account

Request

When the CRM creates an account in OpenTV Video Platform, it should use the preHashedPassword endpoint, which requires a pre-hashed and salted password and the salt that was used.

To do this, the CRM should send a POST request to:

https://<host>:<port>/adm/v1/accounts/preHashedPassword

In deployments that use NAGRA's Security Services Platform (SSP), this request must be made twice – once to OPF, and once to SSP.

The URLs of the two endpoints will be provided to you by NAGRA.

Headers

  • x-correlation-id – identifier for logging, to correlate messages across a call flow

  • Authorization – bearer token obtained in Getting an access token

  • nv-tenant-id – the tenant ID

  • Content-Type: application/json

Mandatory arguments

All the following arguments are in the request body:

  • accountProfileId – the ID of the account profile to be applied to the account. Account profiles are created by NAGRA.
    You can see the configured account profiles in OpCon.

  • npvrProfileName – the User Recordings (NPVR) profile to be applied to the account. See Updating recording settings.

  • billingAddress – the billing address of the account. This field is mandatory, but may be left blank.

  • pvrStatus – enables or disables NPVR (ENABLED or DISABLED).

  • signonId – sign-on ID. This must be the user's email address.

  • password – the hashed and salted password
    Note: The CRM must use the following password hashing configuration:

    • Algorithm: pkcs5_pbkdf2 

    • Hashed password byte length: 320

    • Iterations: 20000

    • SHA strength: hmac_sha1 

  • salt – the Base64-encoded byte-array salt used during the password salting process

  • geoBlockExempt – must be set to false (otherwise filtering will not work).

Other arguments

See /accounts/preHashedPassword in the ADM API documentation.

Response

A successful request returns an HTTP 201 status.

A bad request returns an HTTP 400 status.

A request with an invalid token returns an HTTP 403 status.

If the tenant or account does not exist, the request returns an HTTP 404 status.

Example

A successful request returns the account ID (which is created by OpenTV Video Platform if not specified in the request):

{
  "_id": "string"
}
