Quick Start Guide

In this quick start guide you will start your journey with Enclave enrolling your first systems, and using tags and policy to establish a connectivity between them. Once a system has Enclave installed, it must be enrolled to your tenant using an Enrolment Key. Once enrolled, attach Tags to group your newly enrolled systems together and define Policy to connect them.

Prerequisites

To follow this guide, you will need:

  1. An Enclave account, it's free to register for a 14-day trial

  2. At least two systems (e.g. laptops, servers, devices or containers) with Enclave already installed

Get an Enrolment Key

You will need an Enrolment Key from your account to install Enclave. Enrolment Keys allow you to enrol new systems or devices to your Enclave account.

  1. Login to your account in the Enclave Portal

  2. Navigate to the Enrolment Keys page and select the Quick Start Key from the table

  3. In the details pane, select View key and make a note of the 30 character Enrolment Key

  4. Provide the Quick Start Key from your account to Enclave on both systems running Enclave

Congratulations! You've successfully enrolled a new system to your Enclave account. Once you've enrolled at least two systems, continue by attaching tags to your newly enrolled systems.

Security

Enrolment keys should be treated as secrets; handle, share and store your Enrolment Keys as you would any other organisational secret.

Production use

This guide uses a Quick Start Key which was automatically created when you first registered for an account. This key by default is limited to 5 uses. You can (and should) create your own Enrolment Keys for use in production. Visit the Enrolment Keys section to learn more about creating and managing Enrolment Keys.
