Configure Vanity URLs from the Exadata Express Service Console

As a final step to enabling a vanity URL, configure it through the Exadata Express service console.

To configure your vanity URL:

1. Access the service console for your service. See Access the Service Console.
2. Click Manage.

   Note:

   Only users with Database Administrator role in the Cloud Identity Management can see the Manage section.

3. Click on Vanity URL in the Application Express section.
   The Vanity URL dialog box appears.

4. Enter your Vanity URL (vanity domain name).
5. Optionally, enter a Landing Page URL that automatically opens when end-users access your vanity URL. For example, specify /apex/f?p=100 to launch APEX application 100.
6. Optionally, select Disable Application Express and REST access using the default oraclecloudapps.com URL so that the developers and end users must utilize the vanity URL for all Application Express and REST access to this cloud database.

   Tip:

   Use this option in conjunction with an IP whitelist policy in your LBaaS instance. You will continue using the default oraclecloudapps.com URL for service console access regardless of this selection. To know more, see Configure an IP Whitelist Policy.

7. Click Save Vanity URL.

Users now have access to the vanity URL and the service console shows Enabled.
