Domain Mapping
Domain Mapping is used to redirect the URL your users access to log into SolarWinds. Rather than tied to your account name, you have the option to customize the URL.

-
SSL Certificate
It is strongly recommended that you purchase and upload an SSL certificate in conjunction with this functionality as SWSD does not support Non-SSL Domain Mapping.
SSL Certificate upload can take up to 48 hours.
-
Single Sign On
If you are currently using Single Sign On with your Service Desk, the domain mapping adjustment may affect the routing of your login page. Please make sure to update your login redirect with your SSO provider.
