Before you configure a vanity URL for an Oracle Analytics Cloud instance you need to know the custom domain name and valid certificate for the domain.

1. Obtain the custom domain name you want to use from a web service provider or use the domain name of your company.
2. Add a DNS entry that maps your custom domain name to the IP address of your Oracle Analytics Cloud instance.
   See Find the IP Address or Host Name of Your Oracle Analytics Cloud Instance.
3. Obtain a public digital X.509 certificate (.pem) for your vanity domain name from a Certificate Authority.
4. Obtain a private key file (.pem) that matches the certificate’s public key.
5. Obtain a certificate chain for multiple certificates (.pem).
