Getting Started

Getting Started with AuthNull​

Welcome to AuthNull! This guide will help both administrators and end users get started with AuthNull platform.

These are super administrator / tenant admin instructions. If you are an end user using the platform to access privileged resources - you can skip this section entirely.

Step #1 Setup your organization​

If you're an Admin, start by registering on the AuthNull platform at https://app.authnull.com. This will help you setup your organization, as well as your default tenant. This will give you access to all the services provided by your organization. If the registration url is unavailable reach out to your account manager to get your Organization and Tenant created.

Creating Organization instance and tenants​

Typically you need to create an Organization on AuthNull after which you require atleast one default tenant. The Default tenant is automatically created, and you can choose to create more tenants as necessary.

Step #2: Import your IAM Users to AuthNull Platform​

Start by importing users to the AuthNull platform. There are various ways to add identity

  • Synchronize the active directory - this is the best method suited for enabling MFA against domain joined machines.

Step #3: Tenant config​

Configure the platform settings, integrate with other systems, and set up security measures to ensure a smooth experience for your users.

Tenant config is available in admin console. Dashboard > Tenant config on the bottom left.

Setup the organization and a default tenant​

Get in touch with Authnull to get your organization created after which you will need to create one or more tenants. A tenant allows you to group resources and typically used for a single division / location etc. If your organization is small - then keep the default tenant.

Typically Organization has its own admin, and tenant's have their own admin and separate url to sign into.

To learn more, read the blog at this url or watch the video below.

Tenant config​

Once a tenant has been configured, be sure to login to the tenant and configure the following

  • SSO MFA caching - SSO caching enables you to disable the mobile push notifications so that your SSO web console session is used to automatically fetch credentials and passwords. To begin with, do not enable SSO caching. Once your tenant is up and running, you can enable SSO MFA caching.

  • Authentication policies - ensure that these are set to "Audit mode" so that the policies are auto discovered first. Once you have all authentication discovered and policies created, you can switch to zero trust.

  • Use a decentralized vault - at this moment of time this is the only option enabled. But review to make sure this is enabled.

Watch the video for the full set of instructions.
