2. Manually creating a d.velop documents user account provider

Manually creating a d.velop documents user account provider

Releases & Updates·September 12, 2025

With d.ecs identity provider version 2.17.0 or higher, you can no longer create d.velop documents user account providers via the interface.

Just in case a customer needs such a provider again, for example, to migrate user accounts, you can create a new, unconfigured d.velop documents user account provider via the command line.

After creating the provider, you'll need to configure it in the interface.

You need a one-time code to create it. Request the one-time code from d.velop support. You need a key to make the request. You will learn how to generate the key later on.

The one-time code that you will receive from d.velop support is valid for three days. After that, you must make a new request if you need another d.velop documents user account provider.

This is how it works

  • Start the process with the following command line.
⁠IdentityProviderApp.exe --create-d3-provider
  • Generate the key that you need to send to d.velop support.
This creates a deprecated d.3 provider as a new and unconfigured user provider
You will need a one time code to proceed with this operation.
Do you want to continue? (Y/N) y
==============================================================================================================
Please ask d.velop support for one time code for this data:
Key : <key>
Host: <hostname>
Time: <timestamp>
The key is valid for this d.ecs identity instance only!
==============================================================================================================
One time code / EXIT to quit:
  • The generated key is only valid for the d.ecs identity provider instance on the specified host. The key and the one-time code generated with it are invalid for other instances or customers.
    If you have entered a correct one-time code and thus created a d.velop documents user account provider, you will receive a respective message:
d.3 user provider has been created. You need to configure the provider for proper functionality.

The d.velop documents user account provider can now be displayed and configured directly in the interface.

It is not necessary to restart the d.ecs identity provider.
