SaaS deployment

To create a SaaS Server instance (we host it) log in to the licensing portal and follow the prompts.

  • Create a Cloud Instance and give it a name (e.g. test-instance).
  • Your instance will be reachable as test-instance.knoc.cloud.
  • Choose the region, plan and user count that match your needs.

Open Instance Details

Once created, open the instance details:

  • Note the admin URL and the frontend URL.
  • Note the initial admin username and password (for new cloud instances).

First admin login & basic settings

  • Browse to the admin URL for your instance:
    • Cloud example: https://test-instance.knoc.cloud/admin
  • Log in with the admin credentials from the licensing portal or install output.
  • (Optional but recommended) set the authentication methods and any basic settings from the Settings section (public URL, branding, etc.).

Next step - passive or active?

You can "actively" orchestrate firewalls, control layers etc, or "passively" orchestrate them through EDLs. Active is best, but Passive gets you going fast without any further installation. You can expand your integrations as you go.

Passive? Configure your Knoc. Your firewall can poll for "EDL" updates directly from the Server without an Agent install. It has drawbacks, but it's a quick way to prove it's effectiveness and get going fast, without installing anything!

Active? Install your orchestration agent. Then configure your integration.

**You do not need an orchestration agent for "passive" Knocs!**
