Administering CA Configuration Automation › Implementing Multi-tenancy › Create Tenants

Create Tenants

You can define the master/tenant relationship two ways:

• During the CA Configuration Automation Server installation, in the Server Type screen, select the Tenant option and specify the Master server credentials. This information is passed to the Tenant Administration UI and displayed in the table on the Tenant tab page.
• In the Tenant Administration UI, select the Create Tenant option on the Tenant tab page. The Create Tenant functionality can be used to define previously installed CA Configuration Automation Server instances as tenants.

  Note: You cannot create a tenant using a CA Configuration Automation Server instance from a previous release.

Follow these steps:

1. Log into the Tenant Administration UI on the master CA Configuration Automation Server, then click the Tenants tab.

   The Tenants table appears and displays the tenants created with the Create Tenant functionality for this master server.

2. Select Create Tenant from the Table Action drop-down list.

   The Create Tenant page appears.

3. Enter the following information in the appropriate field, then click Finish.

   Name

   Specifies the tenant name.

   Description

   Specifies details about the tenant.

   Server Name

   Specifies the CA Configuration Automation Server tenant instance. This can be the server name or IP address (IPv4 or IPv6).

   Port

   Specifies the listening port of the tenant CA Configuration Automation Server.

   SSL Enabled

   Specifies whether SSL is used to secure communication between the tenant and master servers.

   Viewers

   Specifies the users that can view and manage the tenant from the Tenant Administration UI on the master instance. Double-click a user in the Available Viewers column to move it to the Selected Viewers column.

   The tenant is created and appears in the Tenant table and in the Tenants pane for users authorized to view it.
