Create an Organization

The curation tools support hosting multiple organizations on a single deployment. Each organization’s site is accessed from a host name unique to that organization, but only one deployment of the software is required.

Prerequisites

DNS

Before configuring a new organization, a DNS hostname should exist, and should point to the IP address of the server on which the curation tools are deployed.

Web Server

Within the web server, the curation web application must be configured to accept connections on the hostname described above.
