The ROR Authority feature is configured in

/dspace/config/features/enable-ror.cfg

and in

/dspace/config/spring/api/ror-authority-services.xml

User needs is to set the following properties in local.cfg file:

# this enables ROR Authorityn feature in DSpace:
include = features/enable-ror.cfg

# set ROR API, optional (only when different than default). The default is: https://api.ror.org/v2/organizations
ror.api-url = https://test.api.ror.org/v2/organizations 

# set ROR API Client ID, obtained from: https://ror.org/api-client-id
ror.client-id = <<ROR-API-Client-ID>> 

# The "ror.authority.stored-name-type" property (optional)defines how the authority value is selected
# from the ROR API response. The authority value is then stored to metadata field, e.g. to "dc.publisher" field.
# The ROR API returns multiple names based on the locale and the name type
# the name types are "ror_display", "label", "alias" and "acronym".
# For more information on the name types, see: https://ror.readme.io/docs/ror-data-structure
# Allowed values for the "ror.authority.stored-name-type" property are:
# "ror_display"  - authority value is selected from the name of type "ror_display"
# "en_label"     - authority value is selected from the name of type "label" with locale "en"
# "locale_label" - authority value is selected from the name of type "label" with locale matching the DSpace locale
# The default "ror.authority.stored-name-type" is "en_label".
ror.authority.stored-name-type = locale_label
