The main purpose is to make a deduplicating identifier available for interaction with integrations. We want to start using it for the integration with XWiki, but the underlying problem occurs regularly in integrations: It's possible for an OP instance to integrate with more than one XWiki instance. Vice versa it's also possible for one XWiki to integrate with multiple OPs. When this happens, API calls like "show me wiki pages that point to work package 123" become ambiguous, because WP 123 might exist on multiple OpenProject instances. Thus it makes sense to have a global identifier for the OpenProject instance. Different identifiers look good and unique at first, but they are not working well in detail: * Base URL (e.g. https://openproject.example.com): Some instances are available via more than one URL, e.g. inside cluster vs. outside cluster. * OAuth client ID: Usually not known to other party, and not guaranteed to be unique, because multiple authentication providers could be involved Hence we decided to use a uniquely generated ID and expose it in a way that doesn't require additional configuration by the users, but can be automatically discovered during integration setup.
