Customize your platform URL

Modified on Thu, 5 Oct, 2023 at 4:15 PM

Do you already have a domain name or a site (or are you about to buy one) and would you like your OKAST platform to be integrated as a sub-domain?



TABLE OF CONTENTS



You have a site www.lesproductions.fr and you have created a site on OKAST https://nomdevotreprojet.okast.tv


You would like to change this address to, for example: https://www.lesproductions.fr or https://vod.lesproductions.fr or https://videos.lesproductions.fr or https://boutique.lesproductions.fr etc...


These are examples and you can choose any name you like.


Getting started

Two steps if you already own your domain name:


  1. Subscribe to the "domain name personalisation and secure SSL" option (or send an email to [email protected]).
  2. Create a domain name and sub-domain from your DNS manager (OVH, Godaddy etc...) then send the domain name to: [email protected]



The procedure

  1. We generate and send you a CSV certificate. This certificate takes 48 hours to be validated by our suppliers.
  2. You must add the CNAMEs in the certificate to your DNS zone.

  3. We integrate this certificate into our services and generate an ALB URL.

  4. You must then redirect your domain name to our platform using this ALB URL, which we will provide to you.


Your platform's personalised URL will then be functional.


Example on OVH

Add a DNS entry


Select as pointing fields: CNAME



1 Add an entry for the certificate


Type: CNAME

Name: _UNE SERIE DE CHIFFRES ET LETTRES.exemple.fr.

TTL : Default

Target or value: _UNE SERIE DE CHIFFRES ET LETTRES.acm-validations.aws.


In this OVH example, do not add the '.example.fr' in the 'Subdomain' field contained in the file. The extension is already present in the expected result.



2 Add an entry for the redirection

Type: CNAME

Name: www (or the sub-domain of your choice)

TTL: Default

Target or value: okast-lb-storefront-REDIRECT LINK OKAST.amazonaws.com


Existing DNS record.

If you receive an error message asking you to delete entries, follow the instructions.



You will then have to wait a little while for it to propagate.
