To ensure that your portal can be accessed in the browser using the server name specified in the configuration file, you must create a corresponding entry in your DNS server (A or AAAA record).
A DNS server maps (readable) server or host names to their corresponding IP addresses.
Example
The server on which you installed the Intrexx server has the following IP address: "12.34.56.78"
The browser should connect to this server when you enter the following in the URL bar: "https://exampleportal.com"
To establish a connection with the server, you must configure the DNS server to associate the IP address "12.34.56.78" with "https://exampleportal.com".
If you want your portal to be accessible only within your network, it may be sufficient to create a DNS entry on your local DNS server. This could be your Windows server, if applicable, which can also serve as the DNS server.
However, you will usually need to create a DNS record on a public DNS server so that your portal can be accessed from outside your network.
Typically, your administrator or IT department is familiar with entries in DNS servers.
After you've made the appropriate entry in your DNS, you can check whether your portal can be accessed in a browser later.
To do this, open a browser and enter the following in the browser address bar:
https://[hostname]/
Example: https://exampleportal.com/
Note: A trailing slash is required. Many browsers automatically add the slash without requiring manual input.
Windows - IIS
If the DNS server is configured correctly, the IIS home page will be displayed.
Linux
If the DNS server is configured correctly, the NGINX homepage will be displayed.
