Managing Your Own Domains

Many companies have more than one domain, for various reasons such as branding, marketing, search engine optimization (SEO) and legal.

Domains are configured when adding a new web application. Click here for more information about creating a web application. You can add your own custom domain for which you need to add a server certificate and public DNS record, or use a domain hosted by Axis Security, which does not require them.

Using Your Own Domain

Adding the Domain and Certificate in the Management Console

1. In the Management Console, click Settings-> Destinations.
2. Create a new application by clicking Add Application, or edit an existing one by clicking Edit icon next to the relevant application.

3. Under Remote Address select Use a domain you own.
4. Type the URL.
5. Copy or take note of the CNAME. You will need it for the DNS records.
6. Click Upload Pfx to upload a certificate. If prompted, enter the password for the file.
