Domain Registration

• Whether the domain is hosted or not
  Only web services in which the domain is actually hosted and in service can be registered in WAAP.
  If you would like to register a domain with WAAP before hosting your web service, please contact our support center.
  
• Web service Protocol and Port
  
  
• SSL certificate and key file
  If your web server is serving HTTPS, please obtain an SSL certificate and key file in advance.
  The types of certificate files that can be registered with WAAP are crt, pem, and pfx.
  
  If you cannot obtain an SSL certificate and key file, or if you are not serving HTTPS, you can obtain and use a free certificate from AIONCLOUD.
  

① Go to domain registration menu

 To register a new domain in WAAP, click the Add Domain button at the top right of the 'Domain Info' menu to move to the domain registration menu.

② Enter domain information

• Select Name Server Operating Method
  If the domain you want to register is the root domain, select the operating method of the name server.
  
  
  
  
  • Using AIONCLOUD name server
    Select to transfer an existing name server to the name server (ns1.monitorapp.com,ns2.monitorapp.com) provided by AIONCLOUD.
    
  • Using original name server
    Select if the name server you are currently using provides an alias setting for the root domain, such as ANAME Records or Apex Aliasing.

• • No Certificate
    Select if HTTPS is not serviced HTTPS.
    

    

  • AIONCLOUD Certificate
    Select if you want to use the free certificate provided by AIONCLOUD.
    You can also choose if you do not own an SSL certificate, or if your web server is not serving HTTPS.
    The AIONCLOUD certificate is valid for 3 months from the issuance date and automatically renews before the expiration date.
    

    When using the AIONCLOUD certificate, the certificate issuance process starts when you change the domain's DNS record to the WAAP's address.
    It takes about 10 minutes to issue. Until the certificate is issued, a certificate error may occur when accessing the web service.
    

    
    
    
    

• • Personal Certificate
    Select if you do not want to use the AIONCLOUD certificate, but want to register and use the certificate you own.
    The format of the certificate file that can be registered is crt, pem, and pfx.
    If you register and use  My Certificate, you must renew it before the certificate expiration date.
    
    If you select Automatic Registration of Certificates, it automatically checks the Internet for the certificate of the domain you want to enroll in. However, since the certificate key cannot be checked through the Internet, you have to register it yourself. If Automatic Registration of Certificates fails, please upload the certificate file manually.
    
    After registering the certificate and key file, please click  Check Certificate button to verify successful registration.
    

    If you are registering my certificate, you should pay attention to the order in the certificate file.
    The order of the certificate files must be 'Domain Certificate' - 'Chain Certificate' - 'Root Certificate'.
    For more information, please check the paragraph 'Reference 1. How to sort SSL certificates' below.
    

    
    
    

    
    

    If you use a CDN, only RSA certificate keys are available.
    Other types of keys, such as ECC certificates, cannot be used.

    
    

③ Register domain

After entering all domain information, click the Apply button at the bottom to register the domain.

If the domain registration is successful, you can check the DNS record information of WAAP as shown below.

• If you registered your root domain - DNS record

• If you registered your subdomain - CNAME record

How to sort SSL Certificate method

Typically, a trusted SSL certificate has a structure in which the root CA certificate authenticates the chain certificate, and the chain certificate authenticates the domain certificate.
In some cases, more than one chain certificate may or may not exist at all.

Generally, when you purchase an SSL certificate, you receive a file that combines the root CA certificate, chain certificate, and domain certificate.
The SSL certificate that you register with the WAAP must also be registered in one file that contains the contents of all certificates.

If you have the root CA certificate, chain certificate, and domain certificate files individually, please follow the procedure below to merge them into one certificate file and register.

① Converting a certificate file to pem or crt format

To extract the contents of the certificate file, first convert the format of the certificate file.

② Extracting certificate contents from crt/pem file

Open the crt/pem certificate with an editor program and extract the certificate data (CERTIFICATE) excluding the key data (PRIVATE KEY).

③ Sort certificates in one file

Fill in each certificate data through the editor program in the order below.

1. Domain Certificate
2. Chain Certificate
3. RootCA Certificate

④ Saving sorted certificates in crt or pem format

⑤ Obtaining a Private Key File for a Domain Certificate

In process ②, save the private key file of the domain certificate separately and save it in pem or key format.

Changing Domain DNS Records

If you have registered a domain with WAAP, you will need to change the DNS records for that domain so that traffic reaches the WAAP proxy.

Depending on the type of domain registered in the WAAP, the DNS record change method will be different as shown below.

• Root Domain- Transfer Name server(change DNS record)
• Sub Domain- Change destination (change CNAME record)

Transfer Name Server(Root Domain)

To apply the root domain to WAAP, you must transfer the name server of the root domain to the name server of AIONCLOUD.

When you transfer a name server, all DNS records in the root domain are replaced to query the name server in AIONCLOUD.
Therefore, it is necessary to register all DNS records in AIONCLOUD's name server in advance to prevent service failure after name server transfer.

The following is a reference book showing the process of migrating the root domain 'gslbtest.click', which uses AWS's Route53 name servers, to AIONCLOUD's name servers.

gslbtest.click currently uses AWS's name servers.

The record of gslbtest.click checked in the AWS nameserver console is shown below.

To reduce the DNS propagation time due to record changes, adjust the TTL value of each record low during this process.

Records that need to be migrated to AIONCLOUD's name server in advance from the list of searched records are the ones in bold below.

In the AIONCLOUD console, in the 'Domain Information' menu, click the Domain Records button for the 'gslbtest.click' domain.

Register the sub records of 'gslbtest.click' checked above in the DNS menu.

Check if the sub records are normally registered in the record list of the AIONCLOUD name server.

If sub records are registered, it is time to change the name server for the domain 'glsbtest.click'.
The name server change can be done by the hosting company that purchased the domain, and the example below is the process of changing the name server in Route53 in AWS.

From the Route53 console on AWS, go to the 'Domain' > 'Registered Domains' menu.

In the Registered Domains list, click the domain for which you want to transfer the name server.

Click the Add or Edit Name Servers button to change the name servers.

Change the name server to the address of the AIONCLOUD name server and click the Update button to request a name server change.

After requesting the hosting company to change the name servers, use the nslookup command to confirm that the domain name servers have been changed.

The propagation time of the changed name server can take up to 48 hours, depending on the TTL settings and the DNS server refresh cycle.

In the domain info menu of the AIONCLOUD console, check that the DNS status of the root domain has changed to WAAP.

Change DNS Record(Sub Domain) 

To apply a subdomain to WAAP, you must change the value of the subdomain's DNS record to a CNAME record issued by AIONCLOUD.

The following is a reference book showing the process of changing the DNS record of the subdomain 'www.gslbtest.click' using AWS' Route53 name server to a CNAME record issued by AIONCLOUD.

Currently, 'www.gslbtest.click' is returning the IP of the web server to the DNS query request.

The value of the 'www.gslbtest.click' record checked in the AWS nameserver console is as follows.

The content that needs to be changed in the retrieved record is the bold item below.

In the AWS NameServers console, click the Edit Subdomain Records button.

Change the record type to CNAME, change the value of the record to AIONCLOUD-issued CNAME, and click the Save button.

You can check the CNAME issued by AIONCLOUD by clicking the Detail button in the Domain Info menu of the AIONCLOUD console.

After waiting for the record change request to propagate, we see that the lookup result of the subdomain has been changed to the IP of AIONCLOUD WAAP.

In the domain info menu of the AIONCLOUD console, check that the DNS status of the subdomain has changed to WAAP.

DNS Menu

DNS menu is a menu that provides functions such as search/add/delete sub-records of the root domain when using AIONCLOUD's name server by registering the root domain in WAAP.

The DNS menu can be accessed by clicking the Domain Records button of the root domain in the Domain Information menu.

① Add Record : Tab to which you can add new records.

② Record List : A list of records added. You can apply or delete records to WAAP.

To add a new record, click the Add Record tab to expand it.
On the Add Record expanded tab, specify the record's type, name, and value, and click the Add Record button.

The types of records that can be added to the AIONCLOUD name server are as follows.

• A
• AAAA
• CNAME
• CAA
• LOC
• MX
• PTR
• SPF
• SRV
• TXT

Among record types, A record and CNAME record can be applied to WAAP by clicking the Unprotected button.
The process of applying the A record and CNAME record to the WAAP is the same as the domain registration process.
