I have a client (call them Acme Foundation) who is using the customer portal. They would like to set up a friendly URL -- portal.acme.org -- for the portal login. I have some questions below:

  • I presume they would need to go to their DNS registrar and set up subdomain for portal.acme.org?

  • What should this subdomain point to in Salesforce? Their Salesforce My Domain is acme.my.salesforce.com. Do I need to set up a Domain named "portal.acme.org" and use a Custom URL to tie it a Site? Does the DNS subdomain point to the salesforce Domain or to the Salesforce Site URL?

You would URL forward the portal.acme.org to the URL for the Customer Portal sites Login URL that you set up.

Information on setting up the Login URL is found here:

  • Sorry, not sure what you're referring to by "URL forward" - do you mean at the DNS level or in Salesforce Setup > Domain Management > Custom URLs?
