Delivery URLs

Custom domain (CNAME)

Add one or multiple custom domains to deliver DAM assets over your subdomains, for example medias.acme.com. Once the custom domain added, you will need to create 2 DNS CNAME entries to validate the TLS certificate and point your subdomain to Filerobot.
Example:
  • DNS1: _076f48ef8df3a3ca368b89c6f0bb0bcf.medias.acme.com. CNAME _29163927834ee4c4e03c365fd7282c74.nhqijqisfx.acm-validations.cdnprovider
