Extranets let you establish secure connections between Locations in your domain and Locations in another Corente Services domain.
The purpose of an extranet is to share access to resources between domains. When you create an extranet, you select User Groups and Applications on specific Locations in your domain that devices on the other domain can access.
You cannot change the configuration of Locations in other domains.
Extranets use a model of mutual consent. The following is an overview of the process to create an extranet:
You export Locations in your domain to another domain. The administrator of the other domain exports Locations to your domain.
You import the Locations that the other administrator exported. The administrator of the other domain imports the Locations that you exported.
You add Location Partners between Locations in your domain and Locations in the other domain. The administrator of the other domain adds corresponding Location Partners.
As you go through each step to create an extranet, the Detail tab displays the following statuses in the Import Status column:
Import Status | Description |
|---|---|
Unavailable for Import | The administrator in the other domain has not yet exported Locations to your domain. This is the initial status when you export Locations from your domain. After you save changes in App Net Manager to the Corente SCP, and the other administrator exports Locations to your domain, the status updates to Available for Import. |
Available for Import | The administrator on the other domain has exported Locations to your domain. You can now import those Locations to your domain. |
Imported | You have successfully imported Locations from the other domain. You can now create Locations Partners with that domain. |
