Workflow for Configuring Vanity URLs

To configure your vanity URL, you must have a custom domain name, access to an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Load Balancing Classic (LBaaS) account, and an SSL certificate. This workflow guides you through the configuration steps.

To configure your vanity URL:

1. Ensure that you have access to an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Load Balancing Classic (LBaaS) metered account. This account is not required to be in the same Identity Domain as Exadata Express.
2. Obtain a digital SSL certificate for your vanity domain name from a Certificate Authority. You will use this server certificate to encrypt connections between internet clients and your LBaaS instance. See Obtaining a Digital Certificate in Using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Load Balancing Classic.

   Note:

   Exadata Express Cloud Service does not support self-signed certificates and unencrypted HTTP connections.
3. Obtain the public SSL certificate from your Exadata Express instance. You will use this trusted certificate to encrypt connections between your LBaaS instance and your Exadata Express instance. See Obtain the Public SSL Certificate from Exadata Express.
4. Configure your LBaaS instance. See Configure Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Load Balancing Classic Instance
5. Configure the vanity URL from the Exadata Express service console. See Configure Vanity URLs from the Exadata Express Service Console.
6. Optionally, create an IP whitelist for your LBaaS instance to restrict access to your vanity URL. See Configure an IP Whitelist Policy.
