kevlav1 Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 Hi, We have just moved from on site exchange to Office 365. I have created a CNAME record in our public DNS to point mail.domain.org.uk to outlook.office365.com for the time being but I would really like users to be directed straight to our branded portal at outlook.com/domain.org.uk. Any ideas on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Kev
houlta Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) Yep thats no problem, point your cname at [url="https://outlook.office.com/owa/?realm=youremail.domain.org.uk"]outlook.office.com/owa/?realm=youremail.domain.org.uk[/url] Just thought there...technically not a cname but domain forwarding or a 'redirect' I use for this job pointing at the above url. Depends which host you use and their term for it. Edited May 30, 2019 by houlta
kevlav1 Posted May 30, 2019 Author Posted May 30, 2019 This is what I wanted to do but according to RM who manage our DNS we cant have a / in a CNAME record.
houlta Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 Also the other way to do it if your domain host doesn't support redirects is to run nginx on your webserver and simply use a proxy redirect to the url.
FishCustard Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 We use a 301 redirect for this - a CNAME can't be pointed at a URL, but if you point it at $some_web_server and have a redirect page it'll work nicely. It's what we do!
kevlav1 Posted May 30, 2019 Author Posted May 30, 2019 Well it seems simple adding the CNAME to point mail.domain.org.uk to outlook.office365.com actually redirects to our custom portal somehow
