Set Up the AuthOS Platform

Use this guide after installation to establish platform-owner access and review the initial organization, application, and delivery settings. It does not install AuthOS or a framework package.

Prerequisites

• An AuthOS instance whose /health/ready check succeeds
• The one-time bootstrap login link printed during installation
• Authority to become and act as the initial platform owner
• The public base URL and allowed origins planned for the environment

Complete initial setup

1. Open the one-time bootstrap link and finish platform-owner setup in the embedded lite workspace.
2. Confirm the AuthOS base URL and the public origins that applications will use. Production values must reflect the external URL, not a private host-only address.
3. Review the demo organization and demo application. Rename, replace, or remove them according to the environment’s purpose before issuing production credentials.
4. Configure Email before enabling hosted sign-up, email verification, password reset, invitations, or magic-link sign-in.
5. Leave Billing disabled unless you are ready to connect and operate the selected billing provider.
6. Record who owns platform access, where operational secrets are stored, and which deployment and recovery checks remain before production use.

Completion check

• The initial platform owner can sign in without reusing the bootstrap link.
• The intended organization and application are visible in the lite workspace.
• Base URL and origin choices match the environment.
• Email-dependent flows remain disabled until Email is configured and tested.
• Billing is either deliberately disabled or configured for the intended provider.
