Logging in to the Marketplace

This page will guide you through the process of logging in to the OE marketplace, to publish or access assets.

For a user to publish or consume assets, they have to log in to the marketplace. Logging in to the marketplace requires connecting to the marketplace server with both the MetaMask web3 wallet and the SSI wallet.

Precondition

The user has gone through the onboarding process, at the end of which they have the following:

• The Metamask web3 wallet is configured with a valid web3 address.

• The SSI wallet account is set up and populated with DIDs and Verifiable Credentials.

• Optional: The user has enough native tokens in their wallet to pay the gas for blockchain transactions.

• Optional: The user has added funds to their web3 address for the token(s) used in the marketplace to purchase assets.

Steps

To log in to the marketplace, perform the following steps:

1. On the main page, press the Connect Wallet button.

2. The Connect Wallet window is displayed. Click on MetaMask.

3. The MetaMask login screen is displayed. Enter your password and press Enter.

4. The signature request window is displayed. Press confirm.

5. The first time the user connects to the marketplace, the SSI Wallet API screen is displayed and prefilled with the URL of the default SSI wallet, provided by the marketplace. Enter the URL to your SSI wallet and press the "Set SSI Wallet API & Connect SSI".

Note: the SSI Wallet URL is cached in the browser, so future logins to the marketplace won't require entering the SSI Wallet URL. If the user wants to update the SSI Wallet URL, it can be done from Settings -> Update SSI Walet API, as shown below.

6. The signature request window is displayed. Press confirm.

7. The user is now connected to the Marketplace with both the web3 and SSI wallet.
