Example of Cloudwork.ID Page Domain

If your school wishes to use a customised domain for the Login Page domain and the Cloudwork.ID Page domain the following steps will need to be completed.

Adding DNS Entries to your domain

  1. Contact the person in charge of adding DNS Entries to your school's domain.
  2. Request the addition of the following CNAME records:
    <Login Page Domain> (This will be the Login Page domain you want users to login in with) CNAME proxy.cloudworkengine.net.
    <Cloudwork.ID Page domain> (This will be the Cloudwork.ID Page domain for the users accessing the Cloudwork.ID Page) CNAME proxy.cloudworkengine.net.

Migration of existing Single Sign On Services

Disclaimer: If you have existing Single Sign On Services configured, each existing Single Sign On Service will need to be reconfigured. The steps for reconfiguration will depend on each Single Sign On Service
The reason for needing to reconfigure all existing services is because changing domains for Login Page and Cloudwork.ID Page will change the metadata information that is used for Single Sign On.
Since the metadata information has been changed, all existing Single Sign On Services will require the updated metadata information.
