What is an Olares ID? ​

An Olares ID is a unique identifier within the Olares ecosystem, serving as your digital identity and gateway to various services and features. Each Olares account corresponds to an Olares ID.

  • Easy to remember and personalized: Olares ID and the corresponding domain name are easy to remember, share, and personalized for your distinct online identity.

For example, if your Olares ID is alice123@olares.com, the system will automatically assign you a subdomain alice123.olares.com. Based on this subdomain, your various services will get their corresponding access addresses:

  • alice123.olares.com: For accessing your personal homepage.
  • desktop.alice123.olares.com: For accessing your personal Olares Desktop.
  • files.alice123.olares.com: For accessing the Files app.

Olares ID structure ​

The format of an Olares ID is the same as an email address, consisting of two parts:

  • A local name (prefix)
  • A domain name (suffix)

For example, in alice123@olares.com, alice123 is the local name, and olares.com is the domain.

Local names are unique within each domain, ensuring that each Olares ID is unique.

Domain types ​

Within Olares, there are three types of Domains:

  • Individual domain: For personal use, similar to personal email. Currently, Olares provides default domain olares.com for individual users.
  • Organizational domain: For organizational use, like company email addresses. After joining an organization, users can apply for an Olares ID under that organization's domain. The administrator can revoke this Olares ID when the user leaves the organization.
  • Entity domain: For applications and other entities that cannot be classified as either personal or organizational.

Olares ID creation for individuals ​

  • Quick creation

    • Authenticates the user through established OAuth providers
    • Creates cryptographic links between the social identity and Olares DID

Currently, verification is available through Google OAuth.

What's Olares ID's relationship with DID ​
