Prerequisites and information

Network

  1. You need a new public IPv4 IP address for a subprovider.
  2. The IP must be configured to route to your regify provider software appliance or loadbalancer (depending on your configuration).
    1. Internal routing IP address must get added in provider appliance menu.
  3. A new DNS A-record must be made to route your new domain (like subprovider.company.com) to the new public IP address.
  4. If your provider runs with own MTA (one setting for all provider instances), you also need a reverse DNS entry for email to make it work.

Certificate

  1. Buy a SSL certificate for the needed sub-provider domain.
    1. While setting up the new sub-provider in your appliance menu, a new certificate is generated.
    2. You can display the signing request by choosing "Show Cert Request" in appliance menu.
    3. Use the signing request to order your certificate.
    4. If received, collect the certificate, all itermediate certificates and root certificate (only Provider < V3.4) in a text editor.
    5. Import certificate using "Inmport Signed Cert" from appliance menu and past text editor content.
    6. Check correct certificate chain here [1] (maybe only possible after finished setup).

Setting up the sub-provider

Please ensure that all prerequisites are fullfilled. Now follow these steps:

  1. Enter appliance menu and chose "Add Subprovider" option.
  2. Enter IP address (internal address if behind firewall, router or loadbalancer).
