Once you complete the OAuth2 flow and authorize Netlify, you’ll be able to configure your PeopleFinder Netlify site by copying the values from the PeopleFinder policy configuration screen:

netlify-configuration

To find your policy configuration information, open the Policies tab in console.aserto.com, and open the peoplefinder instance you created.

On the left sidebar, click on "Policy Settings":

policy-settings-sidebar

Copy the Policy ID, Tenant ID, and Authorizer API key from shown in the Policy Settings view into the Netlify application configuration.

policy-settings

Finally, click "Save and Deploy". Wait until Netlify completes building and deploying the application, then click on the URL produced by Netlify to open the application.

Testing the PeopleFinder application​

When Netlify is done deploying your site, click on the deployed PeopleFinder URL to show the app hosted at a custom URL in the *.netlify.app domain. You should see the following:
