Allowed Domains

allowed domains is a security function in nile that is used for multiple different functions as described below why do we need to add additional domain we enforce domain verification to ensure the customer actually owns the domain, block public email domains by default, and prevent impersonation or accidental exposure user creation and identity provider setup also validate against the tenant’s allowed domains, so attempts with unregistered domains are rejected until the domain is added/verified adding an administrator https //docs nilesecure com/setup administrators by default, if "john\@acme com" has signed up for the nile portal, then john can add any other email that belongs to the domain "acme com" as an administrator to the nile portal but there will be cases 1 large organizations often operate multiple corporate domains (for example, eu acme com and us acme com ) due to acquisitions or regional structures, so they may need to add several domains to their tenant note a customer may also want to onboard a partner for management or visibility, where the customer might have onboarded a contractor or a consultant to work on behalf of them, in these case, we need to allow the domain first in order to add the email as an administrator guest em ail approv als when configuring a captive portal for the guest segment or ssid, if the user selects the auth method as email approval instead of click through, the approvers email that a user enters should be from one fo the allowed domains to add a new allowed domain on the nile portal, please navigate to account management >> domains >> add domain if you attempt to add a domain that already exists, an error message will be displayed after entering the domain, click on the " add " button a pop up will appear once you have added the domain, copy the provided txt record and paste it into your dns settings for the domain you are adding domain will be added as “unverified” until it gets verified once the information is adeed into the dns record and domain gets verified, the status will change to “ verified” once the domain is verified, you can start adding administrators https //docs nilesecure com/setup administrators belonging to that domain reach out to nile support team in case of any issue
