Proxy
Overview
Using a proxy grants the ability to use 1 public IP address for multiple tenant environments by mapping FQDN hostnames. It also allows customers to use their own domain to access their tenant environments.
Enable Proxy
Proxy configuration requires at least one public IP address assigned to your tenant. If your tenant does not already have public IPs assigned, please contact KorGrid Support to request them.

Before enabling the proxy configuration, you must first select an IP address you wish to use as the proxy IP.

IP Blocks that have been assigned to your tenant appear here. Choose an IP address from the list of network blocks to use as your proxy IP.

Create DNS Entries
On your organization's DNS server(s), create an A record for the desired FQDN that will be used to access your tenant. Point the record to the public IP address selected during proxy configuration. Once the DNS record has propagated, your tenant will be accessible using the custom FQDN.
If you receive SSL certificate warnings when accessing your tenant UI, assign a valid public SSL certificate to your tenant. See Certificates for assistance.
