Tenant creation

⚠️
An empty database must be created before using it as a tenant database.

In this post we discuss the most basic approach of defining a tenant. After you clicked Tenants -> New you will be forwarded to the tenant connection form

Let us start with defining a new connection to the empty database you've created before all of that, which should be used as a metadata database for your tenant.

On the right hand side you will find a + New, which opens up a modal form, where you can define the database connection.
After a successful connect the drop-down list for Connections should be filled with the information you've provided.

📝
All of the connections you 've established for your tenants are stored in this drop-down list. If you look for a better overview of this information have a look at Connections at the left menu.

To complete the first part of the form, we have to define a name, which in the end gives you the correct access point to the configuration / Studio part of M.App Enterprise:

https://SERVERNAME/Studio/?tenant=TENANT_NAME

The next part would handle the first Studio administrator account. Therefore you define Username & Password. Additionally a email adress for resetting the password if necessary and the default language for this specific tenant.

The last two parts are talking about Two-factor authentication and Active Directory, which can be done with on-premise (only if set up correctly during the installation process), Azure, openID connect or Saml
