Opencloud DaaS Tenant Creation & Configuration

This section will cover the basics of creating a tenant in OVD

Pre-requisites/Assumptions

Please consider the following before proceeding:

  1. Determine the auth source - local, AD, LDAP, OAuth2.0 compliant provider, etc.
  2. Enable multi-tenancy if multiple tenants are required

Enable Multi-Tenancy

  1. Log in to the OVD Admin Console - https://session-manager/ovd/admin
  2. Navigate to System > Tenant Administration
  3. Click the "Activate Multi-Tenant Mode" button.
  4. If you're sure you want to enable this change, click Activate
  5. With this mode enabled, you can configure the Default Org and/or create others as needed

New Tenant Creation

  1. Log in to the OVD Admin Console - https://session-manager/ovd/admin, and navigate to System > Tenant Administration
  2. Under the "Add Tenant" section, enter the full name of the tenant and their domain name, then click "Add this tenant"
  3. If desired, add requisite servers that this tenant should be able to utilize. Please note, in some cases it is better to stand up additional infrastructure components rather than share them between tenants.
  4. In the upper righthand corner, click the "Currently managing Default Org" link, and select the newly created tenant
  5. With this tenant now selected, navigate to Users > Domain Integration Settings, and select the desired auth source from the dropdown. If SAML2 is desired, it can be configured under Users > Authentication Settings
  6. If selecting something other than "Internal", enter the requisite information and click test to confirm that the auth source is configured properly. Then click Save
  7. Your tenant is now configured, and you can proceed with tenant-specific customizations.
