Add a Domain to PlaceOS

Steps required for adding a domain to PlaceOS

Overview

This guide will step through the process of creating a domain and the associated application(s) that will exist on it.
You must create a domain before adding authentication sources (such as SAML) to it.

Prerequisites

  1. 1.
    PlaceOS has been deployed
  2. 2.
    You know the domain(s) required for the deployment and the applications on them

Step 1: Create the New Domain

  1. 1.
    Log in to Backoffice on the domain created during deployment and select the Domains tab
  2. 2.
    Select the + button to bring up the New Domain form
  3. 3.
    Add the following fields:
    • Name: Can be anything to identify the domain, like the domain itself i.e. placeos.domain.com
    • Domain: The actual domain, without a protocol i.e. placeos.domain.com
    • Login URL: The URL redirected to when a user logs in
      • You should usually set this to /login?continue={{url}}
    • Logout URL: The URL redirected to when a user logs out
      • You should usually set this to /auth/logout
Add Domain

Step 2: Add an Application to the Domain

  1. 1.
    Select the Applications tab
  2. 2.
    Choose New Application
  3. 3.
    Add the following fields:
    • Name: Can be anything to identify the applications
      • Usually the folder path where the application resides but capitalized i.e. Backoffice
    • Scopes: Leave this blank
    • Skip Authorizaiton: Check the box to set this to true
    • Login URL: The location that users are redirected to after completing authentication
      • This will generally be something like https://<domain>/<application path>/oauth-resp.html
Add Application

Step 3: Add a User to the Domain

  1. 1.
    Select the Users tab
  2. 2.
    Select the New User button
  3. 3.
    Add or select the following fields:
    • Domain: Select the domain you created in Step 1
    • First Name: Add the first name of the user, this is required
    • Last Name: Add the last name of the user, this is required
    • Email: This will be the username and is required
    • System Admin: Denotes whether the user will be an admin (and thus can access and make changes in Backoffice)
      • This will usually be set to true when creating users in this interface
    • Password and Confirm Password: Enter the password which the user will use to login (when not using SSO)
Add Domain
You can now login with this new user on the domain created.
