Top FAQs for Vanity URLs

The top FAQs when setting up a vanity URL for Oracle Analytics Cloud are identified in this topic.

How many vanity URLs can I create for my Oracle Analytics Cloud instance?

Does the standard URL continue to work?

Yes.

Can I use a self-signed certificate when defining a vanity URL?

No. Self-signed certificates aren't supported. However, you can create your own root signing certificate and use that to sign a certificate that you generate yourself. See Prerequisites for a Vanity URL.

Are wildcard certificates supported?

Yes.

Can I try this feature without registering a public DNS entry?

Yes. In the /etc/hosts file on your client machine, add an entry for the vanity host name you plan to use that points to the IP address of your Oracle Analytics Cloud instance. The vanity URL works on that machine.

Users accessing the vanity URL report the error "400 Bad Request - Request Header Or Cookie Too Large". How do I resolve this?

Ask users to clear their browser cache and cookies, and then try to access the Oracle Analytics Cloud vanity URL again.
Work with your organization to verify the Domain attribute setting in the Set-Cookie header. Check that the Set-Cookie header that's being sent by other applications isn't configuring unnecessary cookies for all subdomains under your company domain.
