HCP System Management Help


Domain names

Every domain has a name. A domain name can contain only letters, numbers, and hyphens (-). It must consist of at least three segments, separated by periods (.). Each segment must be one through 63 characters long. The entire domain name, including the periods between segments, must be less than 128 characters long.

When specifying a domain name, you can use both uppercase and lowercase letters. However, when you save the domain, HCP converts any uppercase letters to lowercase.

If the HCP system is configured to use DNS, the higher-level portion (minimally, the last two segments) of the name of each domain that you create must identify a DNS domain to which you have administrative access.

Domains cannot be subdomains of each other. For example, if a domain named hcp.example.com already exists, you cannot specify cust1.hcp.example.com as the name of another domain.

In the URL for access to a tenant, the tenant name is inserted before the name of the domain. For this reason, you should not specify the tenant name as part of the domain name.

For example, suppose you create a tenant named finance for Customer-1 and a domain named finance.cust1.com. If you select finance.cust1.com as the domain for the network you associate with the finance tenant for management purposes, the URL for access to the Tenant Management Console for the finance tenant is https://finance.finance.cust1.com.

During HCP installation, one domain is created automatically. The name of this domain is the name specified for the system during the installation procedure. This domain is created regardless of whether the system is configured to use DNS.
