This guide provides documentation for Wickr Enterprise. If you're using AWS Wickr, see AWS Wickr Administration Guide.
Global Federation
Global Federation (GF) allows Wickr Enterprise to communicate with other Enterprise deployments as well as Wickr Pro, AWS Wickr, and guest users.
This access must be approved and enabled on both deploys for a successful connection. It cannot be federated without mutual agreement of all parties.
-
For Wickr Pro federation, contact Wickr Support to allow list your deployment.
-
For Global Federation, see the Global Federation: Setup and Configuration guide.
Global Federation requires domain names and a new username style to be used.
-
Federated Wickr Infrastructures: These are the EXTERNAL domains allowed to communicate with this deployment. The API key for that domain must be added with the domain name.
-
Local Domains for Federation: These are the INTERNAL domains used for usernames within this deployment. A DNS record or other identifying information is needed for other Enterprise deployments to connect successfully. These local domains will be the only allowed domain names used when creating new users.
For example, if the domain “example.com” and “testing.com” were added here, the following users would be valid:
-
userone@example.com
-
georgio@testing.com
Restricted federation
Restricted federation is the ability to federate with specific networks (Enterprise or AWS) belonging to different regions. Admins can allowlist specific networks their users can federate with. After the restriction, users can only communicate with users in the allowlisted networks. Both networks must allowlist each other from the security group settings in the federation tab to use restricted federation.
