• RFC Manager sends an HTTP request to the configured XConf URL, including key device identifiers:

  • STB MAC Address

  • Account ID

  • Partner ID

  • Firmware Version

• XConf uses these identifiers to locate the appropriate configuration and returns it as a JSON payload.

3. Configuring the xconf server url

• Usually the xconf server url is read from rfc.properties file. Since this is a generic file, community xconf server url is not set from here.
• At startup (especially on first run or after device recovery), the code uses Device.DeviceInfo.X_RDKCENTRAL-COM_RFC.Bootstrap.XconfUrl to get the xconf url.
  • Bootstrap.XconfUrl is configured in tr69hostif/partners_defaults.json at main · rdkcentral/tr69hostif for specific partnerID.
    • If no partnerID is set, the value from "default_boot" is used.
    • If  partnerID is set, but not available in the partners_default.json, then "default" block is used.
    • If partnerID is set, and the corresponding partnerID is available in partners_default.json, then that partnerID block is used.
• For community devices, partnerID is set as "community" from sysint-hal repository. Example for RPI: 
  • rdkvhal-sysint-raspberrypi4/scripts/oem-first-boot.sh at main · rdkcentral/rdkvhal-sysint-raspberrypi4
• For Comcast devices, this is set from AuthService.
