The procedure for provisioning managed storage is different for different browsers.
For Firefox, you need to create a JSON manifest file in a specific format, in a specific location.
C:\Users\Public\Third Iron\LibKey Nomad\
Next, create the JSON manifest file for LibKey Nomad:
{
"name": "{f282d54d-83cc-45f5-b3e5-65888de1682b}",
"description": "LibKey Nomad",
"type": "storage",
"data": {
"libraryId": "ENTER YOUR LIBRARY ID (e.g. 1234)"
}
}
C:\Users\Public\Third Iron\LibKey Nomad\{f282d54d-83cc-45f5-b3e5-65888de1682b}.json
Note: The file extension MUST be .json
Make sure you replace the JSON placeholder text "ENTER YOUR LIBRARY ID (e.g. 1234)" with your actual Third Iron Library ID. Note that this should be a numerical value only. If you are not sure of your Library ID, please contact [email protected] to ask for it.
How to locate your Third Iron Library ID
Via BrowZine: Log in to BrowZine. Your Third Iron ID is the number in your library's BrowZine URL:
https://browzine.com/libraries/###
Via LibKey.io: Log in to LibKey.io. Your Third Iron ID is the number in your library's LibKey URL:
https://libkey.io/libraries/###
Step 5 (optional): Set preferred Nomad button placement
If you would like to set a preferred location for Nomad's button at the Group Policy level you can also add "buttonPlacement:" under the data property after libraryId. The two possible options are:
bottomLeft (default): Nomad's button will be placed in the bottom-left corner of the screen
bottomRight: Nomad's button will be placed in the bottom-right corner of the screen
As in:
{
"name": "{f282d54d-83cc-45f5-b3e5-65888de1682b}",
"description": "LibKey Nomad",
"type": "storage",
"data": {
"libraryId": "ENTER YOUR LIBRARY ID (e.g. 1234)",
"buttonPlacement: "bottomRight"
}
}
On Windows, you need to create a registry key that points to the manifest's location.
The key should have a single default value, which is the path to the manifest. Run the following command as an administrator from Command Prompt or another method that works best for you:
reg.exe add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\ManagedStorage\{f282d54d-83cc-45f5-b3e5-65888de1682b}" /ve /t REG_SZ /d "C:\Users\Public\Third Iron\LibKey Nomad\{f282d54d-83cc-45f5-b3e5-65888de1682b}.json"
Note: Additionally, a Library Id configured correctly through group policy will suppress the LibKey Nomad initial library selection page on install.
