Adding a Custom Domain Name

Custom domain

Why set up a custom domain?

1. The automatically generated domain uses azurewebsites.net which is often blocked by web filtering products as it's often used by spammers and phishing sites due to the ease of obtaining an azurewebsites.net subdomain.

2. Your bookmark stays the same if you redeploy.

3. Easier to communicate internally and looks better for your team.

At the moment of deployment, the application uses a generated domain name. To change this, follow these instructions:

1

Log In to Management Portal

Go to management.cipp.app

2

Pick the Domains tab

3

Click Add Domain

4

Add DNS Records

The screen will give you the DNS record you need to add at your DNS provider: a CNAME for a subdomain, or an A record for an apex (root) domain.

If a TXT record named asuid.<your domain> exists from a previous setup, remove it — domain-verification TXT records are no longer used, and a leftover one blocks validation.

5

Enter Domain and Submit

Enter your desired domain into the management portal. Click Add Domain

6

Wait

The system will validate that the DNS record exists and provision a certificate. The custom domain will become available when certificate provisioning is complete and its status changes to Ready.
