OCPP Remote Configuration

Reference for all OCPP configuration keys supported by the Charger Simulator. Values can be set locally in the charger settings, or remotely via OCPP ChangeConfiguration (1.6) / SetVariables (2.0.1).

Configuration Keys

Setting	OCPP 1.6 Key	OCPP 2.0.1 Variable
Chargepoint ID	`ChargePointId`	`SecurityCtrlr.Identity`
Backend URL	`CentralSystemUrl`	`OCPPCommCtrlr.NetworkConfigurationPriority` + `NetworkProfile`
Heartbeat Interval	`HeartbeatInterval`	`OCPPCommCtrlr.HeartbeatInterval`
WS Password	`AuthorizationKey`	`SecurityCtrlr.BasicAuthPassword`
Meter Value Interval	`MeterValueSampleInterval`	`SampledDataCtrlr.TxUpdatedInterval`
Connection Timeout	`ConnectionTimeOut`	`TxCtrlr.EVConnectionTimeOut`
Local Authorization	`LocalAuthorizeOffline`	`AuthCtrlr.LocalAuthorizeOffline`

WS Password & AuthorizationKey

How WS Password and AuthorizationKey / BasicAuthPassword relate

They are the same field. The WS Password stored per charger is the HTTP Basic Auth password used when opening the WebSocket to the backend. The OCPP keys AuthorizationKey (1.6) and SecurityCtrlr.BasicAuthPassword (2.0.1) read from and write to this same field.

Set the password manually in charger settings, or let the backend set it via ChangeConfiguration / SetVariables.
When the backend updates the password over OCPP, the new value is persisted immediately and used on the next reconnect.
Over OCPP, GetConfiguration / GetVariables never returns the password value (spec-compliant).
The WS Username field is separate and not changeable via OCPP. If empty, the Chargepoint ID is used as Basic Auth username (OCPP standard).
