Tenant Connection, VPN, and Service Access

Tenant network access is separate from GWEB platform-administrator network access.

Tenant connection

Use the connection method assigned during tenant onboarding.

Depending on the tenant and enabled GWEB Cloud service, access may use:

  • normal tenant-facing HTTPS/API connectivity;
  • tenant-specific VPN/private connectivity;
  • an approved service-access workflow.

Not every tenant requires VPN access.

Tenant VPN

If tenant VPN is enabled, GWEB provides the tenant-specific configuration or private connection material through the approved onboarding process.

The tenant documentation can explain how to use the supported tenant VPN/service-access feature, but tenants must not receive or reuse GWEB administrator VPN credentials.

gwebc may expose tenant-safe VPN/service-access workflows when those capabilities are enabled for the tenant.

Safety

Tenants must never publish or share:

  • tenant VPN private keys;
  • OIDC/session tokens;
  • service credentials;
  • another tenant's connection material;
  • GWEB platform credentials.

Application networking

Normal tenant deployment should describe the application's required service ports and protocols through the supported application/deployment model rather than requesting unrestricted host networking.

Special workloads such as real-time UDP/media services can require explicit GWEB approval, dedicated workers, or additional network policy.

Troubleshooting

If a tenant cannot reach a GWEB tenant-facing service:

  1. verify the assigned connection/VPN is active if one is required;
  2. verify tenant authentication;
  3. verify the intended tenant profile;
  4. verify that the requested service-access capability is enabled;
  5. contact GWEB with the tenant, environment, application/service, timestamp, and tenant-visible error.
