Creating security domains

Security domains allow us to permit or deny administrators based on the tenants added as "associated objects" within the domain.

How to do it...

1. Navigate to Admin | AAA | Security Management | Security Domains.

2. Click on Actions, then select Create Security Domain.
3. Name the new security domain. Here we will call the security domain TenantA-SD.

4. Click on SUBMIT.
5. The new security domain will be listed with the default ones.

 

6. If you click on the security domain, you will see that there are no associated objects (tenants).

7. To associate a tenant to a security domain, navigate to the tenant (TenantA) and click on the Policy tab.

8. Click on the plus sign next to Security Domains, and select Tenant-SD from the drop-down menu.

9. Click on UPDATE.

10. If you return to the TenantA-SD security domain in the AAA tab (step 1), you can see that TenantA is now listed under associated objects.
