I have a domain name abc.mydomain.com
This is a https URL ( http redirects to the https version )
However, I now need to be able to handle www.abc.mydomain.com to redirect to abc.mydomain.com
How can I do this? is it a webserver level redirect or something to be done at the DNS resolution.
I know my URL already has the "abc" as its sub-domain and I dont need a "www", however, we noticed that "www.news.google.com" resolves to "news.google.com" - hence wondering if I can achieve it too
Thank you!
In short, yes.
DNS works on a hierarchy - the DNS server for .com can delegate down to the nameserver for your domain which can delegate further, or just answer the requests, which needs to be your first step.
If you use Bind style zone files, you can do something like (where 123.45.67.89 is your webserver IP address):
* IN A 123.45.67.89
Then, you also need your webserver to resolve that to the right virtual host/redirect as desired.

Can't add domain for readthedocs project - status stuck on:
HTTPS status: pending_validation
CNAME pointed to docs.sample.com and dig returns readthedocs.io. Is there a way to resolve this issue?
Managed to get alias working on google domains, after 3rd re-add in DNS and another request in rtd.io. Still no good on cloudflare tho (no proxy).
UPD guess it some extended delay.
i am facing issues in SSRS configuration:
A. i have two domain URL (https://xyz.domain1.com) and (ttps://abc.domain2.com).
B. i have certificate for each domain like
xyz.domain1.com - certificate one (*.domain1.com) -- 443
abc.domain2.com - 2nd certificate (*.domain2.com) -- 443
C. In SSRS - i have one virtual directory in web service URL
SSRS-> Webservice URL -> virtual directory name : "Report Service"
[enter image description here][1]
D. in advance setting
[enter image description here][2]
E. in Report manager URL, i am trying to bind two 443 domain but i cannot
while i bind both url and port 443 then i got this error
Microsoft.ReportingServices.WmiProvider.WMIProviderException: An SSL binding already exists for the specified IP address and port combination. The existing binding uses a different certificate from the current request. Only one certificate can be used for each IP address and port combination. To correct the problem, either use the same certificate as the existing binding, or remove the existing SSL binding and create a new binding using the certificate of the current request.
Question:
now i need to connect my report server using two different URL and unique SSL certificate each URL.
But i cant bind this two urls using 443 to connect report server.
I can bind one url and certificate then its working for one URL only.
How do i bind two URLS and certificate to one report server and make it work for two URL's
please help on this issue.
I suggest you try ignoring the error on the first URL ('Web Service URL') and proceed to bind the certs to the 'Report Manager URL' as well. You may have to manually edit the bindings in Advanced Settings, but once you get them looking right in Advanced Settings, SSRS should work.
And a second suggestion, though it looks like you already have done this: be sure the common name (CN) for the wildcard certs are *.domain1.com and *.domain2.com. SSRS will only accept host names that match the CN, and in your case, where you're binding 2 certs to same port, the CNs must be different.
Here's a related point for anyone trying to make the multiple hosts in a single subdomain case work: e.g, https://foo.localdomain/reports and https://bar.localdomain/reports.
Request your SSL cert with Common Name (CN) = *, not the server name or anything specific. Then list all the permutations of DNS names that you want to support in the Subject Alternate Name (SAN) field. The url looks funny in SSRS Configuration Manager (https:+:443), but it Works on the Wire(tm).
If you specify some non-wildcard for the CN, you'll get 'resource not found' error tryng to connect, although the SSL handshake will work.
To achieve the objective you need a Multi-Domain SSL or Wildcard SSL certificate, for example:
Multi-Domain SSL(Multiple Domains)
xyz.domain1.com
abc.domain2.com
Wildcard SSL(Sub-domains)
xyz.domain1.com
abc.domain1.com
Reference:
Multiple Domain (UCC) SSL
Secure multiple domains and
sub-domains on one certificate
I like to know how i could park .tk domain on openshift .
i have made an alliance for my :
diy-phpfm4nginx.rhcloud.com domain in openshfit console.
i enterde my-domain.tk as alias in .tk and set tk CNAME setting like bellow:
nothing(i mean i have placed it empty!) ---> CNMAE----TTL=14440,Target=my-domain.rhcloud.com
www---> CNMAE----TTL=14440,Target=my-domain.rhcloud.com
you could see page images in:
http://oi61.tinypic.com/33c0ytj.jpg
and it works. so in openshift sites they have advised to use domain forwarding because they said : only "www." would work,but "http://" would not work for .tk domains work. SO have it is possible when it worked form me.
if you like , you could look at the :
Try using domain forwarding instead. Reason being, you are able to
use CNAME records for www.yourdomain.tk, but not for yourdomain.tk
since the service doesn't allow it.
i like to know am i misunderstand CNAME setting, or i am Right.
Finally ( inside of .tk naked domain ability ) i found some 3d redirect part for redirecting naked domain to www. domain you could see more details here:
http://wwwizer.com/naked-domain-redirect
thanks a lot for your attention.
Anyway from reading your question and i think you wanted to achieve
nothing.com ---> my-domain.rhcloud.com
For the above case (naked domain) === you either need to use Domain Forwarding or find a DNS provider that allows "Naked" CName records.
for the sub domain like www.nothing.com set rhc alias add will work for you.
If we have a customer with a cname record, sub1.notourserver.com, pointing to something like abcdefg.ourserver.com, we read the host as sub1.notoursever.com. Is it possible for us to somehow get the value abcdefg.ourserver.com from this request? We have a subdomain route setup, but it is not picking up on it because the host does not match our SERVER_NAME config setting.
HTTPÂ does not provide that information, and so neither can Flask/Werkzeug. You need to use in Flask/Werkzeug the (sub)domain names actually used by clients.
If you really can not do that, you need to hack a WSGI middleware that maintains an explicit mapping (or makes DNS requests) and patches environ['HTTP_HOST'].
What is the "official" url I should use if I want to indicate just a resource that fails as soon as possible?
I don't want to use www.example.com since its an actual site that accepts and responds requests and I don't want something that takes forever and fails from a timeout (like typing using a random, private IP address can lead to).
I thought about writing an invalid address or just some random text but I figured it wouldn't look as nice and clear as "www.example.com" is.
If you want an invalid IP, trying using 0.0.0.0.
The first octet of an IP cannot be 0, so 0.0.0.0 to 0.255.255.255 will be invalid.
For more info, see this question: what is a good invalid IP address to use for unit tests?
https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5735:
192.0.2.0/24 - This block is assigned as "TEST-NET-1" for use in documentation and example code. It is often used in conjunction with domain names example.com or example.net in vendor and protocol documentation. As described in [RFC5737], addresses within this block do not legitimately appear on the public Internet and can be used without any coordination with IANA or an Internet registry. See[RFC1166].
Use .invalid, as per RFC 6761:
The domain "invalid." and any names falling within ".invalid." are special [...] Users MAY assume that queries for "invalid" names will always return NXDOMAIN responses.
So a request for https://foo.invalid/bar will always fail, assuming well-behaved DNS.

if it's in a browser then about: is fairly useless - but it would be better if your service returned the correct HTTP status code - e.g. 200 = good, 404 = not found, etc.
