Map Your Custom Endpoint with Your Visual Builder Instance

To map a custom endpoint to a Visual Builder instance, get the custom hostname for the Visual Builder instance and the OCI vault's compartment name, vault's name, and the secret key where you've uploaded the SSL certificate.

Before you begin, create a custom hostname and upload its SSL certificate to an OCI Vault, as described in Create and Configure a Custom Endpoint for Your Visual Builder Instance.
  1. Open the VB instance's details page.
  2. On the Visual Builder Instance Details page, click Edit.

    The Edit Visual Builder Instance dialog is displayed. The dialog displays a Nodes field and an Advanced Options pane for adding or updating a custom endpoint. The Advanced Options pane is collapsed by default.

  3. Click Show Advanced Options.

    The Advanced Options pane contains a Custom Endpoint tab with fields for adding or updating a custom endpoint for the instance.

  4. Supply the custom endpoint details.
    Field Description
    Hostname

    Enter the custom hostname chosen for the instance.

    The custom hostname you want to map to the instance must already be registered on a DNS provider and its SSL certificate stored as a secret in an OCI Vault.

    Certificate

    Provide the location of the hostname's certificate in your OCI tenancy.

    • Compartment: Select the OCI compartment that contains your certificate vault.
    • Vault: Select the vault that contains the hostname’s certificate.
    • Secret: Select the secret corresponding to the hostname’s certificate.
    Note

    You can also update or replace a custom endpoint that was previously associated with the instance. You can modify the hostname as well as the certificate details. However, to update the certificate details, you must have access permissions to the vault containing the required certificate.

After you've mapped the instance, update the custom endpoint DNS record to the original instance hostname. As a best practice, update the CNAME of the DNS record with the hostname of the original instance endpoint.
