SaaS Customer Onboarding Strategy

SaaS onboarding can be done at any time when a user is new to the platform. This could happen most of the time with free trials. However, it needs a smaller onboarding process.

Signup process

Once you are done with the registration process, you will be redirected to a set up wizard page where you can secure your domain(s).

Here you need a few pieces of information from the client’s end to complete the user registration. The steps are as follows:

1. The current domain name without http/https (www.xyz.com).

2. Current Hosting/Server IP Address (The IP address mentioned in the DNS manager. This IP may belong to a load balancer or a machine).

3. Select the cluster which is nearest to your location from the drop down list, so that it can reduce the latency issue.

4. Need to change the current DNS record from the customer end. For this, the customer needs to add a CNAME to their domain in the DNS manager (eg. GoDaddy, AWS route53), provided by Prophaze. DNS record has to be changed once the application is onboarded on the WAF.

5. Select the protocol for traffic routing, recommended to opt for ‘Force HTTPS Redirection’ for enhanced security. Can enable advanced cipher suites for additional security measures.

6. Now all the details have been given for the registration process. To initiate the process, click the create button in the bottom right.

Upon making the DNS change and fully routing traffic through Prophaze WAF, the SSL certificate will be generated automatically. If needed, customers can also import their certificates.

SSL Certificate

Within the Settings menu, specifically within the Certificate manager tab, users have the capability to upload their own certificates. These certificates may be in either PFX file format or separate main certificate and private key formats.

Finally, the on-boarding process is completed and all the traffic will be protected by Prophaze WAF before it hits the customer.

The customer can now log in to the WAF dashboard with the credentials created during the Registration process and can analyze the traffic which comes into the onboarded website before hitting the actual website. That traffic would be filtered out with the help of existing rules and behavioral analysis – only the legitimate traffic will be allowed to the onboarded domain.

Also, you can find the logs and its corresponding graphical representation in the dashboard home page. URL for login: https://dash.prophaze.com/
