We need a domain name besides profiles.216software.com

[mw44118]

Right now, the site runs at

profiles.216software.com

as much as we enjoy the publicity, it should probably run under a different domain name. Here's what we need:

1. Y'all pick a domain name. Maybe you want to use a subdomain, for example:

• profiles.cwru.edu
• profiles.poverty.cwru.edu

And you can have more than one domain that point to the same place. That's just fine.
2. Whoever is the administrator for each domain needs to point that domain at this IP address:

54.88.168.184

3. Optional: buy a certificate for your domain. This encrypts traffic so that 3rd-parties can't snoop. Also, it proves to visitors they are at the real, actual site, not an impostor. This is not so important for now given that people don't log in or submit any data to the site.

When do you need this by? I'm thinking neocando.case.edu/progressdrivers, but would like to run it by others.

[mw44118]

We don't need it before any particular date, so take your time.

progressdrivers.case.edu

[mw44118]

OK! We'll set up the site to "answer the phone" when people use that domain, but we need somebody with control over case.edu to set up the subdomain progressdrivers.case.edu to point at the Amazon box.

@eamonjohnson can you handle setting up the IP address mapping for progressdrivers.case.edu to point at the amazon box?

[eamonjohnson]

I've requested progressdrivers.case.edu from CWRU ITS. Request is technically ready to go once we cut over to the elastic IP. ITS is waiting on approval from CWRU UMC (university marketing and communications) and Information Security.

[eamonjohnson]

CWRU ITS has advised that they will not create the progressdrivers.case.edu DNS name until the site has CWRU branding.

[aprilhirsh]

Do you know what they consider to be CWRU branding? Also, GitHub has emoticons. Will our co-branding suffice?

[eamonjohnson]

They did not provide a policy. Blaze a trail 🐎
