Configure access parameters for an application

To manage access to your applications configure access parameters such as the server's private IP address or fully qualified domain name, whether your server runs HTTPS or HTTP, add external domain certificate, origin server certificate for HTTPS traffic, and the nearest cloud zone for an application. For more information on specific application types, see Configure and deploy a remote desktop (RDP) application and Configure and deploy a SSH application.

You see a DRAFT VERSION next to the application name, until you deploy it.

Log in to Enterprise Center.
In the Enterprise Center navigation menu, select Application Access > Applications > Applications.
Click your access application to open it and configure the following:

2. External Host. Provide an external host name for the application where the users can access the application. You can use your own domain or provide an Akamai domain.
Select and configure one of the following:
- If you select Use Akamai domain, provide a URL, for example:https://sample-web-app.go.akamai-access.com.
  If you use the Akamai domain, you don't need to configure a certificate.
- If you select Use your domain, provide your own domain.
📘
If you use your own domain, you need to add a certificate and associate the certificate for your own domain and set up a CNAME redirect for the application.
If you are configuring a VNC application, optionally enter a VNC passphrase or password, if your server is configured to allow access via VNC.
You can also, optionally configure an application category.
