Adding new connections - User Guide - BlueCat Horizon

To manage your networks and services in the cloud, you need to add your connections, such as DNS/DHCP agents, by creating them in the Connection hub. As soon as you register a connection in the Connection hub, it connects directly to the cloud. Then, you can use them, for example, to manage services in the DDI orchestrator application.

To add a new connection:

1. In the navigation menu, select Connection hub.
2. On the Connections page, select New.
3. In the Create connection dialog, enter the following information:
   • Name: A unique name for the connection
     Note: You cannot create a connection with the same name as an existing or deleted connection.
   • Description: A description of the connection, for example, its purpose
   • Type: Select a type from the dropdown, such as DDI agent
4. Select Create.
5. Copy the connection registration token. This is a one-time registration key that you must use when installing the connection on the target server. This key is required to establish a secure connection between the on-premise service and the cloud.
   Note: This is the only time the connection configuration can be copied. It cannot be recovered.
   
   
   

Once the connection is created, the platform will display a success message at the top of the screen. If you encounter issues while adding a connection, please refer to Frequently asked questions.
