Register Domain for DaaS

The first task to complete in the admin portal is to register a domain with the DaaS platform. This can be an existing domain or a new domain that was created. In most cases, the utility server will be an AD, DNS and DHCP server.

Prior to registering the domain, perform the following tasks:

DHCP (required)

1. Confirm the IP Helper address on the firewall. Run the following command on the Cisco firewall.
   1. show ip helper-address
2. Configure a DHCP on the utility server. The utility server is the server which is defined as the IP Helper on the firewall.
3. Set scope options
   192. 074 IRC. Enter Tenant appliance IP addresses. Green Cloud will have provided the tenant IP addresses during the provisioning process. Typically, the addresses are .11 and .12 of your desktop subnet that was identified in the pre-provisioning process. E.g .192.168.101.11,192.168.101.12

LDAP over SSL (recommended)

1. It is recommended to configure Active Directory for LDAP over SSL communication. This is the secure way to bind / register your DaaS tenant to your internal domain.
