Within Brightidea, System Admins can set a custom vanity URL / masked URL for their system. For example, the Vanity URL would be:
- "https://yourcompany.brightidea.com" for Enterprise login
- "https://yourcompany.brightidea.com/initiativename" for Initiative Site login.
Secure Masked URL
Contact your CSM for more information about a custom secure masked URL.
- e.g.- "https://challenge.mycompany.com"
- Secure masked URLs with a non-brightidea.com domain will require a custom implementation on Brightidea servers. Configuration is at the Enterprise level and any underlying Initiatives - See below for an overview of the step-by-step process:
Vanity URL
Enterprise Level
- To get started, navigate to System Setup > Site > Basic Info
- Admins can specify up to THREE (3) different domains for their Vanity URL.
- yourcompanyname1.brightidea.com
- yourcompanyname2.brightidea.com
- yourcompanyname3.brightidea.com
Initiative Level
-
Once the domains are set at the Enterprise level, Admins can select which option they'd like to use for the Initiative Vanity URL:
- If the URL is available for use, a green Available message will display.
- If the Initiative alias is already in use elsewhere, a red Unavailable message will display and the Admin will not be able to continue until an available option has been entered.
- Select Save Changes to finalize.
Important Things to Note:
- By default, all URLs point to the Enterprise and Initiative home pages:
- Enterprise Homepage = (https://____.brightidea.com/ct/c_es.bix?a=___)
- Initiative Home Page = (https://____.brightidea.com/ct/s.bix?c=__)
- All email notifications will inherit the selected domain.
- Only alphanumeric characters are accepted in the Vanity URL field; Hyphens and special characters cannot be used.
- Initiative-level reports will still reflect the original long URL.
- If a user attempts to leverage different domains at the same time, their session will be terminated.
So if I have the domain name abc.com is it possible to have that domain name mask mycompany.brightidea.com/challenge1 or does it have to be challenges.abc.com/1
Hello Damian,
Both URLs can be used to access the WebStorm, (1) Standard URL: "mycompany.brightidea.com/challenge1" and (2) Custom URL with domain masking "challenges.abc.com/challenge1".
Thank you,

Hi Ron,
Is Vanity URL still available? I couldn't find it on my site admin page, the domain name is locked and not editable.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Roc
Hi Roc,
Yes, it's in your Enterprise setup area > Site > Info, select "Add New" underneath the first URL to add any other sub-domain names.
Thank you,

Hi Roc,
Thanks for prompt reply.
Yep I did that, but seems the brightidea.com is a fixed part. Our url is colleaga.brightidea.com.
Thank you.
Best,
Roc
Hi Roc,
That is correct, if you'd like to have a non Brightidea.com domain, that will require custom secure domain masking.
Please reach out to your Brightidea Account Manager and they can help scope that implementation.
Thank you,
