This guide walks you through the complete onboarding process, from understanding the Enterprise VPC Edition and getting your dedicated domain, to configuring each client and verifying a successful connection.

1. Introduction to Qoder CN (Suite) Enterprise VPC Edition

The Qoder CN (Suite) Enterprise VPC Edition is a dedicated instance deployed on the Alibaba Cloud public cloud for enterprise customers. Unlike personal or standard team editions that use a shared public entry point, the Enterprise VPC Edition creates a dedicated service instance for your enterprise and provides a dedicated access point.

The Enterprise VPC Edition supports connections between your enterprise leased line and an Alibaba Cloud Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), providing an access method that fits enterprise network environments. For customers who require internal network access, leased line access, access control, security compliance, or data boundaries, the Enterprise VPC Edition offers a deployment and usage model better suited to enterprise scenarios.

2. Dedicated domain link of the Enterprise VPC Edition

A dedicated domain link is the exclusive entry point for Enterprise VPC Edition customers to access the Qoder CN management console and related services. When administrators and members access the enterprise console, view usage details, configure the member list, assign seats, or use client tools, use your own dedicated domain instead of the default public site address.

In practice, the dedicated domain link is used in the following scenarios: an administrator opens the organization settings page to configure the member list, seats, and enterprise instance; an enterprise member opens the personal account page to view usage details; and clients, plugins, or command line interface tools connect to the dedicated Enterprise VPC instance through the dedicated domain link.

For example, a member can view personal usage details at the following address:

http://{dedicated-domain}/account/usage

An administrator can open the organization settings page at the following address:

http://{dedicated-domain}/organizations/{orgid}/settings

Here, {dedicated-domain} and {orgid} are placeholders for illustration only. In practice, use the dedicated domain and organization ID that the enterprise administrator gets from the console.

3. Create and purchase an Enterprise VPC Edition instance

Use your Alibaba Cloud account or an authorized RAM user under it:

Log on to the Alibaba Cloud Management Console and go to the page.
Click Create Enterprise. You can also go directly to the purchase link.

Purchase permission requirements

To purchase or initialize the Qoder CN (Suite) Enterprise VPC Edition, you must first have the service-linked role required by the edition (AliyunServiceRoleForqodercnEnterpriseVPC). If you purchase as a RAM user, the Alibaba Cloud account must attach the AliyunQoderCNFullAccess and AliyunBSSOrderAccess access policies to that RAM user.

Dedicated domain creation timing and limits

When you purchase or initialize the Qoder CN (Suite) Enterprise VPC Edition, you must specify an enterprise name and a dedicated domain for the dedicated instance.

After the instance is created, the enterprise administrator can view the domain configuration of the instance in the Alibaba Cloud Qoder CN console.

The dedicated domain is a critical identifier of your Enterprise VPC instance and cannot be changed after creation. To adjust the access experience, you can change the access method of the domain, for example, access over the public network or over a private network, but you cannot change the domain itself.

Important

During purchase and initialization, carefully confirm the enterprise name and the dedicated domain.
Use a stable, unambiguous name that follows your corporate naming conventions. Avoid temporary names, test names, or names that you may need to replace later.

Purchase conditions

The minimum purchase is 50 seats. Each seat includes 3,000 credits per full subscription period.
If your credit balance is insufficient, purchase an enterprise shared resource plan for the specified enterprise instance. The enterprise administrator can set usage limits on the enterprise shared resource plan for different members in the Qoder CN management console.

4. View the dedicated domain of a purchased instance

Enterprise administrators

Enterprise administrators can view the domain through the console or the management console:

Through the console
Log on to the Qoder CN console, choose Qoder CN (Suite) > Enterprise VPC Edition, click the target instance in the instance list, and open Network Configuration to view the domain. The direct URL is https://qoder.console.alibabacloud.com/instances/enterprisevpc.
Through the management console
On the instance list or product page, click Passwordless login to Qoder management console. The dedicated domain appears in the address bar of your browser.

Tip: Perform this operation with your Alibaba Cloud account.

Enterprise members

If you are an enterprise member and do not know the dedicated domain, get it in one of the following ways:

Contact your enterprise administrator for the Enterprise VPC Edition login address.
Check the invitation email sent by the administrator and find the domain in the link in the email.

5. Configure the dedicated domain for Qoder CN suite products

Important

Because the Enterprise VPC Edition uses a dedicated enterprise instance and a dedicated access point, set the service address to your dedicated domain link when you use Qoder CN Desktop, the Qoder CN JetBrains plugin, QoderWork CN, and the Qoder CN CLI.

5.1 Qoder CN Desktop and Qoder CN JetBrains plugin

Qoder CN Desktop requires v1.4.2 or later, and the Qoder CN JetBrains plugin requires v3.2.3 or later. Before configuration, confirm that your client versions meet these requirements.

In Qoder CN Desktop, when you are not logged in, open the Settings page, choose General -> Subscription Plan -> Dedicated domain link, and enter the dedicated domain link provided by your enterprise administrator. After configuration, click Log in with Enterprise Dedicated Domain.
In the Qoder CN JetBrains plugin, when you are not logged in, open IDE Settings and go to the Qoder CN plugin configuration page. Find the Service Address or Enterprise Dedicated Domain configuration item and change it to your dedicated domain link. After configuration, re-authenticate or refresh your login status so that the plugin connects to your Enterprise VPC instance.

5.2 QoderWork CN

QoderWork CN requires v0.6.5 or later. Before configuration, confirm that your QoderWork CN version meets this requirement.

In QoderWork CN, when you are not logged in, click Access Domain below Log in to configure it.

5.3 Qoder CN CLI

Qoder CN CLI requires v1.0.32 or later. Before configuration, confirm that your CLI version meets this requirement.

When you are not logged in, run the following command to set the service address for the Qoder CN CLI:

qoderclicn config set vpc_endpoint {VPC dedicated domain}

Replace {VPC dedicated domain} with the actual address provided by your enterprise administrator. After configuration, log in again or refresh your authentication status, and run a common command to verify that the CLI connects to your Enterprise VPC instance.

6. FAQ

6.1 Do all clients require the dedicated domain link?

If you need to access your Enterprise VPC instance through Qoder CN Desktop, the Qoder CN JetBrains plugin, QoderWork CN, or the Qoder CN CLI, configure each client with the same dedicated domain link.

6.2 What should you check if the connection still fails after you configure the dedicated domain link?

Check the following items first:

Whether the dedicated domain link is entered correctly.
Whether your network can access the Enterprise VPC instance.
Whether you need to connect through an enterprise VPN, proxy, or leased line.
Whether your account has joined the corresponding enterprise organization.
Whether your client version meets the minimum version requirements.
Whether you logged in again or restarted the client after you saved the configuration.
