Overview

This guide walks you through the steps required to create a new environment and deploy applications in Environment Operations Center.

An environment is where a RadiantOne product lives. Each environment is completely isolated and contains endpoints to access different applications. Each instance of the Environment Operations Center has a predefined number of production and non-production environments that can be created for production, development, quality assurance, and staging purposes.

Before setting up your environment, you need the following:

• The version number that corresponds with your RadiantOne product (Identity Data Management and/or Identity Analytics).
• If you are deploying the Identity Data Management application, and want to initialize the product with configuration that has been exported from an existing environment, ensure you have the correct file type saved and ready to go since you need to select this file during creation of the new environment.

The new environment setup requires you to define the environment type, details, and provides an optional step to upload a configuration file from another environment.

To create a new environment, select New Environment on the Environments home screen or from the Overview home screen.

This takes you to the New Environment page that contains all the input fields for the information required to create a new environment. The following sections outline how to complete these required fields.

Define environment type

Start by selecting the required Environment Type.

Environment type

To set the Environment Type, use the radio buttons to select either Non-production, for development and testing, or Production, for production purposes.

Environment name

To set the Environment Name, enter a unique name in the space provided. Names must follow the naming convention: can be alphanumeric, can contain underscores and hyphens, cannot contain any other special characters, and can contain 18 characters or less.

Deploy applications

In your environment, you can install one or both of the following RadiantLogic applications:

• Identity Data Management – This application streamlines identity data by eliminating silos and ensuring seamless synchronization across your organization. It serves as a scalable, unified source of truth, helping to manage and maintain accurate, up-to-date identity information.

• Identity Data Analytics – This application offers deep insights into potential gaps in your identity data, particularly in relation to access management workflows. It enhances visibility, enabling you to identify and address blind spots, while strengthening your organization’s overall identity security posture.

To deploy an application, select the checkbox adjacent to the application name. In the expanded view, fill out all required information.

Application details

Under the Application Details section, provide the required details such as the application version, password ,and application description.

There are minor differences in the application details form for Identity Data Management and Identity Analytics application. For Identity Data Management deployment, you have the option to enable advanced setup if you wish to deploy the application using an existing configuration file. Note that this option is available only in Identity Data Management, not in Identity Analytics.

Version

To set the Environment Version, select the version drop down to display all available versions. Select the value that corresponds with your organization's version of Environment Operations Center.

Password

Select a password by either entering your chosen password in the space provided, or by selecting the Generate button to have a password automatically generated for you.

Depending on the complexity and strength of your password, you will receive a notification that your password is "Weak", "Fair", "Good", or "Strong". It is recommended that you adjust the password until you receive a "Strong" rating. Adjust your password accordingly to ensure you have entered a strong password before proceeding to the confirmation step.

To confirm your password, reenter or copy and paste your password in the confirmation space provided. If you selected to have a password automatically generated, the password will also automatically populate in the confirmation text box.

To reveal your original or confirmation password, select the eye icon ( ) located within the text field you wish to view.

Advanced setup

This is an optional step and is not required. An advanced setup is available if you would like to upload a configuration ZIP file from another environment or create the environment using samples. Enable advanced setup by toggling on Advanced Setup.

The Install Samples option imports sample data.

Custom configuration

To import a configuration file, select the configuration ZIP file to upload. You can locate the file on your system and drag and drop it into the provided space. Alternatively, you can select choose file within the upload box to open your system's file manager and locate the file to upload.

While your file is uploading, an Uploading message displays in the file upload box, along with a progress bar. You can cancel the file upload while it is in progress by selecting the X located in the progress bar box.

Once your configuration file has successfully loaded, the file name displays in place of the file upload box. Select Create to create the new environment.

To delete the file and return to the file upload screen, select the trash can icon located in the same box as the successful file upload.

If the file upload is not successful, the configuration upload box displays with a red dashed outline and an error message appears just below. Review your file type to ensure you have selected the correct configuration file for upload and try again.

Create the new environment

Once you have completed filling out the details for Environment Type and Application Details sections, click the Create button to create the new environment.

After saving the New Environment details form, you return to the Environments home screen. A confirmation message appears noting that your environment is being created and that the process can take up to twenty minutes. The status of your new environment shows as "Create Application". Select Dismiss to close the confirmation message.

Once the environment has been successfully created, the environment's status changes to "Operational".

Form submission failure

If there is an issue with the form submission, an error message states that the new environment creation failed and the new environment will no longer be visible in the environment list on the Environments home screen. Select Dismiss to close the error message and proceed to restart the workflow to create a new environment.

Failure to create new environment

If there is an error and the environment cannot be created, the environment status changes to "Creation Failed".

Select the ellipsis (...) in line with the environment to display a list of options. Options include:

• Submit Again: resubmit the same form without editing any of the fields.
• View Logs: troubleshoot where the error may have occurred while the form data was processing.
• Delete: if the environment hasn't been successfully created, delete the failed instance.
