Rhino Accounts Help

Your Rhino account provides a single way to use and manage everything McNeel.

You can associate your Rhino licenses (and those of other compatible plugins), participate in our discussion forum, and use other first and third-party services using the same account––even if your email addresses or linked accounts change later.

Rhino Accounts is designed to be secure from the very beginning, and we are continuously improving the security and stability of the system.

Create a New Rhino Account

Creating a Rhino account is easy and free.

To create a Rhino account:

1. Go to the Create an Account page.
2. If you’d like to link an account, click on the appropriate button. Otherwise, continue below.
3. Fill out the required information.
4. Click Create a New Account.
5. Confirm your account by clicking on the link in the email.

Recover an Existing Rhino Account

If you are unable to log in to your Rhino account, we can send you an email containing tailored information on how to recover your account. If you log in using a linked account, the email will include information on which account you should use to log in. If you log in using a password, you will have the opportunity to reset your password by clicking on a link in the email.

2. Type in any email address associated with your Rhino account in the Email field.

Combine accounts Consolidate accounts

Merge Two Rhino Accounts

You may want to consolidate two different Rhino accounts created at times into one single account to simplify account management. Below is an example of what a typical scenario may look like and what the outcome should be:

To merge two Rhino accounts into a single Rhino account:

1. Identify the account you want to keep. This account is the one that has all services and products associated with it. In this example, it is account A.
2. Login to the account you don’t want to keep. In this case, it is account B.
3. Delete account B. This will free up any linked accounts and email addresses associated with it.
4. Login to account A.
5. Associate any email addresses and add any linked accounts that were previously associated with account B.

Link Team to a Domain

Linking a Rhino Accounts team to a domain is useful in large or complex organizations.

What happens when a Rhino Accounts team is linked to a domain?

1. Any existing users who have any email address associated with the domain will be given an ultimatum the next time they log in. They can either:
   • Join the team, drop any email addresses unrelated to the domain, and adopt the team’s log-in method.
   • Relinquish any email addresses associated with the domain and decline joining the team.
2. Any new users who try to log in using an email address associated with the domain will have a Rhino account transparently created for them the first time they successfully log in using the team’s log-in method. They will also be added to the team without the need for an invite.
3. If new users try to log in or create an account using a different login method, they will be guided to log in using the team’s log-in method.
4. New or existing accounts that have an email address associated with the domain may not add other email addresses or linked accounts, and their linked account must match the team’s login policy.

Why link a team to a domain?

1. Users who have email addresses associated with the domain will be added to the team without the need to create an account and explicitly accept an invitation.
2. IT administrators can use their own user management tools such as onelogin, Azure Active Directory, Google for Work, etc. to manage team members. For example, an administrator can create an Active Directory group that contains the only members who are allowed to log in to Rhino Accounts. Similarly, removing a user from that group effectively restricts that user from using their Rhino account.

How do you link a team to a domain?

1. Go to the Teams page.
2. Click on the desired team.
3. Click on the Action button at the bottom of the page.
4. Click on Link Domain to Team.
5. Check the checkbox.
6. Type a domain name that you own. Make sure it is the root domain (i.e. rhino3d.com and not www.rhino3d.com) unless your email server purposefully uses a subdomain.
7. Prove ownership of the domain by one of the following methods:
   1. Place the specified file at the specified location in your domain’s HTTP server. Make sure it can be publicly accessed.
   2. Create a DNS TXT record.
8. Choose a login method. For the following providers, you will need to specify additional configuration settings specific to your domain:
   • Setup Azure Active Directory.
   • Setup onelogin.
   • Setup Okta.
   • Setup Custom Provider.
9. Click Save.

11. Back in Okta, Click on Trusted Origins under the API menu item.
12. Ensure that there is an entry for https://accounts.rhino3d.com for both CORS and Redirect. If there isn’t one, add an origin by clicking Add Origin.

Set up Custom Provider

1. The custom provider you choose to use must meet the following criteria:
   • It must be an OpenID Connect provider.
   • It must implement OpenID Connect’s Discovery Endpoint at the path: /.well-known/openid-configuration.
   • The Discovery Endpoint must include a valid jwks_uri.
   • The Discovery Endpoint must have CORS support so that it can be accessed from https://accounts.rhino3d.com via JavaScript.
   • It must support the implicit grant type.
   • It must support the id_token response type.
2. Register an OpenID Connect client with your provider, being sure to include the Redirect URI shown in Rhino Accounts.
3. Back in Rhino Accounts, paste the client id of the client you just created into the Client/App ID field.
4. Finally, enter the base url of your provider into the Endpoint field. For example, if the Discovery Endpoint is at https://mydomain.com/oidc/.well-known/openid-configuration, you would enter mydomain.com/oidc.
