DNS configuration SaaS

DNS configurations play a crucial role in how your SaaS platform is accessed and branded, especially when managing multiple tenants. By setting up DNS configurations at the cluster level, you can define universal branding that applies to all tenants. However, individual tenant branding can still be customized to ensure each tenant maintains its unique identity. It's important to understand the hierarchy and application of DNS settings to effectively manage your platform's accessibility and branding.

You have the flexibility to use a subdomain of an existing domain or opt for a separate domain for CentreStack. This choice depends on your specific branding and organizational needs. Configuring DNS accordingly will ensure your platform is accessible and maintains brand integrity.

Cluster level branding applies universally across all tenants within your SaaS platform, providing a consistent look and feel. Tenant level branding, on the other hand, allows for customization of individual tenants, enabling them to have their own unique branding and identity. Understanding the distinction between these two levels is key to effectively managing your platform's overall appearance and each tenant's specific branding needs.

Integrating CentreStack with your current file server involves setting up a server agent that establishes a bidirectional sync with your backend storage, such as Wasabi. This setup allows for seamless integration, even if your file server and CentreStack are not in the same network, ensuring efficient file management and collaboration.

Expanding the server storage is not necessary when syncing with Wasabi, as CentreStack utilizes Wasabi's backend storage. Installing the server agent on your local machine will enable bidirectional syncing with Wasabi, efficiently managing your storage needs without requiring additional server expansion.

For Active Directory integration with CentreStack, it is recommended to join the server to a domain. This simplifies the integration process and enhances security. CentreStack supports single sign-on integration with Azure, providing detailed guidance to facilitate the setup.

If you encounter issues with DNS configuration or branding, contact the support desk for assistance. Provide a clear description of the issue, along with any relevant screenshots or details. The support team will guide you through the correct configuration of DNS settings and branding to resolve your issues and ensure your platform is set up correctly.

To maintain future branding customization flexibility, set your cluster branding according to your platform's universal branding strategy first. You can then customize the branding for individual tenants as needed. This approach ensures a consistent brand identity while allowing for specific branding requirements for each tenant.
