Configure your DNS settings

Before you can actually use your app's WebID, you need to configure your domain's DNS settings so that requests are properly redirected. What domains you need to configure depends on what components you will be using. If you are unsure about which products you will be using, ask your Digita representative.

use.id WebID Infrastructure

My Move has chosen to rely on the use.id nameservers and has asked use.id to take care of the certificates of both webid. and sandbox.webid. using Let’s Encrypt.

For this, the My Move engineers simply added the following two records to their DNS zone file:

webid.my-move.app CNAME useid-customer.com
sandbox.webid.my-move.app CNAME sandbox-useid-customer.com

After the My Move engineers have added these records, they will be able to use the following WebIDs for their app:

• webid.my-move.app
• sandbox.webid.my-move.app

use.id Solid Services - Connect

My Move has also chosen to rely on use.id Connect as a backend for their app, to ensure compatibility and to help them accessing data.

For this, the My Move engineers added the following two records to their DNS zone file:

connect.my-move.app CNAME useid-uss-connect.com
sandbox.connect.my-move.app CNAME sandbox-useid-uss-connect.com

After this configuration, the My Move engineers notified use.id which domain they've configured.

use.id Solid Services - Identity Provider

My Move is also invited to participate in a closed Solid ecosystem in which access is defined using a whitelist of identity provider domains.

To participate in this ecosystem, the My Move engineers added the following two records to their DNS zone file:

idp.my-move.app CNAME useid-uss-iam.com
sandbox.idp.my-move.app CNAME sandbox-useid-uss-iam.com

After this configuration, the My Move engineers notified use.id which domain they've configured.
