Setting the Default Organization

When you deploy the Administration Console, an organization is created by default along with the MA account. This out-of-the-box organization is referred to as Default Organization (DEFAULTORG).

As a single-organization system, the Default Organization is useful because you do not need to create any new organizations. You can configure the Default Organization settings, change its Display Name (see "Updating the Basic Organization Information"), and then continue to use it for administering purposes. In the case of a multi-organization system, however, you can either rename the Display Name of the Default Organization, configure its settings, and continue to use it as the default, or you can create a new organization and set it as the Default Organization.

Note: Typically when you perform any operation without specifying the organization, then that operation is carried on the Default Organization. For example, if you create administrators without specifying the organization, then the administrators are created in the Default Organization.

The Set Default Organization page enables you select the organization that will be used as the Default Organization.

To specify the Default Organization:

1. Ensure that you are logged in as the MA.
2. Activate the Services and Server Configurations tab.
3. Click the Administration Console option on the submenu of the tab.
4. In the left hand pane, under the UDS Configuration section, click the Set Default Organization link to display the Set Default Organization page.
5. Under Default Organization, select the organization that you want to set as the Default Organization from the Organization Name list.
6. Click Save to save the changes you made on this page.

   The "Default organization set successfully" message appears.

7. Refresh all deployed AuthMinder Server instances. See "Refreshing the Cache" for instructions on how to refresh the system cache.
