VERISCO Shield Onboard

Onboarding

The seven steps of the onboarding form, what each one asks for, and what happens between submitting it and your first sign-in.

Before you start#

Have these ready. They are what the form cannot guess:

  • the public hostname of your application, and where it listens;
  • a database user with read access to your users table, or bind credentials for your directory;
  • the names of the columns that hold the username, the password hash, and optionally the email and the role;
  • a decision on how VERISCO should reach you: see Deployment modes.

The form#

Step What you provide
1. Your details Your company and a contact.
2. Plan The plan you want. Nothing is charged on this form.
3. Your app How VERISCO reaches your application: gateway, connector or SDK, and the address that goes with it.
4. Identity source MySQL or LDAP / Active Directory.
5. Connect The connection details and the column or attribute mapping. You test the connection here.
6. Protection Multi-factor methods, captcha, and your starting device and network policy.
7. Review Everything you entered, to confirm before submitting.

The connection test is required

You cannot submit until Test connection has reached your database or directory and read a user. This is the one thing that cannot be fixed after the fact without you: if VERISCO cannot reach your directory, nobody can sign in.

Everything you choose in step 6 can be changed later in your console. Nothing in the form is final except your tenant's identifier.

After you submit#

  1. Draft

    Your console shows a status page while a VERISCO administrator reviews the submission.

  2. Approved

    The administrator accepts the tenant. Unless your account is set up as payment before activation, a free 30-day Pilot with every feature starts now.

  3. Published

    Publishing does the work:

    • creates your isolated sign-in realm;
    • connects it to your MySQL database or LDAP directory;
    • applies your multi-factor, password, lockout and session settings;
    • generates your tenant's RS256 signing key pair;
    • registers your route, in gateway and connector mode;
    • prepares your integration guide.
  4. Integrate and go live

    Your hostname is in pass-through until you say otherwise. Follow the Quickstart from step 4.

If your account pays before activation#

Some accounts have no free trial: the tenant goes live once its first invoice is paid. Your console says "Your tenant is approved and waiting for its first payment", and Plan & billing offers to pay for the plan you chose. See Plans and billing.
