If you want to activate your White Label with Classic Hotspot for your Splash Page and your Social Dashboard, you will need to configure a
CNAME (see this article for more information
How to activate your White Label - Overview and steps).
Once activated, you can easily check if they are working correctly in two ways:
This test is very quick and simple.
STEP 1
Open your browser and edit the CNAME.
For example for your Splash Page:
http://splash.yourdomain.com
if you configured a
splash.yourdomain.com
CNAME pointing to
splash.tanaza.com
STEP 2
Check if you can see the following message :
"
The CNAME configuration for this domain is successful, please follow the remaining instructions for the white label activation on this domain."
your CNAME was properly configured, because your browser is trying to reach an address which is intended to be reached through your Classic Hotspot powered AP, but this also means that the redirection is working!
In case you do NOT see such message, please refer again to
How to set the CNAME for your domain
You can quickly check any address of your CNAME using the command "
nslookup".
This command is used to query the DNS to obtain domain name mapping, so basically what address is mapped to the one you are searching.
STEP 1
Open your Command Prompt.
If you are using a Windows OS, just press
WIN+R
and type cmd in the window which pops up, like in this image:
or you can just search for "
cmd" or "
prompt" in the search box and click on the result name "
Command Prompt" which will appear:
STEP 2
Now, in the Command Prompt window type the command "
nslookup" followed by the CNAME you want to check and press ENTER
STEP 3
Check the result of the command, if you can see an answer like this one:
your CNAME is correctly configured!
This because the answer informs you that the CNAME redirects to the correct Tanaza address.
You can repeat this check for any other CNAME you created:
- Splash Page
- Dashboard
- Dashboard-Api
- Editor
Final considerations
Now that you validate your CNAME, you can
send to our team all of the information needed to activate your White Label account:
- your Classic Hotspot account email where you want your White Label activated
- your CNAME set, in this way:
| Your address | CNAME pointing to |
|---|
| splash.yourdomain.com | splash.tanaza.com |
| dashboard.yourdomain.com | dashboard.tanaza.com |
| dashboard-api.yourdomain.com | dashboard-api.tanaza.com |
| editor.yourdomain.com | editor.tanaza.com |
