7.1 Adding a Tenant

To add a tenant, perform the following steps:

  1. Click Tenants > Add.

  2. Specify the name, description, and password for the tenant administrator.

  3. Click Save.

For the tenants added, you can view the number of configured repositories and the license expiry date. In the Edit tenant page, you can view the number of users and change the password for the tenant administrator.

From Advanced Authentication 6.3 SP5, when you add a tenant, a unique tenant ID or name is assigned to the tenant. Also, a unique tenant URL is generated in the tenant-name.domain-name format for that tenant to access the Advanced Authentication portals. The domain name is shared among the tenants to generate a unique URL for each tenant.

For example, consider top tenant URL is caf.aacloud.com, here the domain base is aacloud.com. If new tenant-name is cyberres then the tenant URL is cyberres.aacloud.com.

The benefit of the URL for each tenant is the users associated with the tenant can specify the username without prefixing the tenant-name\repositoy-name\ during login to Advanced Authentication portals.

NOTE:A tenant administrator cannot add another tenant and cannot access the Server options, Cluster, and Updates sections. For more information, see the Tenant Administration Guide.
