This article describes the second half of the library registration process with NYPL (see Obtain a DRM Client Secret from NYPL for the first part). This registration is required whenever any of the library's ebook providers rely on Adobe DRM protection (Overdrive, Axis 360, Bibliotheca, etc.). In addition to obtaining the client data from NYPL, you must have already completed the process to Create a New Library. When you've completed that process, you're ready to configure the library's short client token.
Step-by-step guide
You can actually configure the client token using either the circ-scripts
or circ-webapp
containers. The containers currently (v2.2.5) have slightly different entry paths, but otherwise the process is the same. Use the information you obtained from NYPL in the previous step, Obtain a DRM Client Secret from NYPL, to substitute for the placeholders shown in the following steps:
- Log into the
circ-scripts
container's host instance - Enter the container:
sudo docker exec -it circ-scripts /bin/bash
- Activate the Python virtual environment:
source ../env/bin/activate
- Run the script:
./configuration/short_client_token_library_configuration --website-url <url> --short-name <shortname> --secret <shared_secret>
- To finish, deactivate the virtual environment:
deactivate
- Exit the container:
exit
