Connecting users between different Registration Servers

The TeamDrive Name Server (TDNS) settings are one of the more important settings which must be defined during the setup and which can not be enabled later on when users are already registered on your Registration Server.

The TDNS helps send invitations between users which are registered on different Registration Server by mappings the user to their respective servers. This is necessary because invitations must be send to the Registration Server for which the user is registered with their devices.

Usernames, unlike email addresses, are unique within the TDNS network. If you enable TDNS access, any username that is already in use by a server within the TDNS network can not be used by your own Registration Server.

TDNS access will modify the registration, login, search and invitation calls in the Registration Server (as well as the API calls) and check the TDNS, determining which username exists on which Registration Server in the TDNS network.

Every Provider requires a record on the TDNS. A record will have a ServerID and a checksum. All requests will contain the ServerID and checksum to verify that the request is coming from a valid Registration Server.

You have to enable outgoing access on the HTTP-Port 80 to tdns.teamdrive.net to enable the communication from your Registration Server to the global TDNS.
