Domains
A domain is a pointer to the Signicat operational environment that determines the URL at which Signicat products and metadata are available.
Domains affect all frontend flows and locations of user interfaces where your end-users experience your services. This allows you to unify the user experience of your service with your company's brand, across Signicat products.
On this page, you can find information about what kind of domains are supported and how you can use your own domain name (also known as a CNAME or vanity URL).
- For all backend communication with Signicat APIs, you must send requests to
api.signicat.com. Signicat APIs are always hosted under Signicat domains. - For OIDC and SAML, you must update your application's code to use the domain that you create.
To manage your domains in the Signicat Dashboard, go to Signicat Dashboard > Settings > Domains.

When you add a domain to your account, you can choose between a Standard domain or a Custom domain as described in the table below.
