Starting with Firewall Cloud
Repository Firewall is offered as a 'software as a service' (SaaS) through our multi-tenant solution. Firewall Cloud reduces the time-to-value by skipping the work needed to provision hardware to deploy and the costs of managing the self-hosted IQ Server.
There are a few steps you need to do to get started:
Create your tenant
Designate your support contacts
Configure Repository Firewall in Nexus Repository Manager
Add repositories to the Repository Firewall
Create your tenant

from the drop-down menu under your profile nameName your organization using your official company name
Verify your license by adding the license fingerprint found at the top of the license email you received
Once the license fingerprint is validated, the tenant name will be automatically generated from your official company name. Provide the email addresses of the users to administer the tenant
Designate your support contacts
Once your organization is created, you can add as many members as provided by your license.
Four (4) members of your organization may be designated as authorized support contacts and will have full access to the support team. Other members should direct questions through these contacts.
For issues setting up your organization or adding support contacts, visit support.sonatype.com and select “Submit A Request”.
Create your service account
We recommend using a service account to connect your Firewall tenant to Nexus Repository. This account will need to be granted access to tenant configuration. This will be managed by your security administrator. You may use Sonatype's identity provider or one managed by your organization to create the service account.
