Custom subdomain on Akto on AWS
Akto creates a load balancer for your akto dashboard. You can put this dashboard behind your organization's subdomain for easier access across teams. Moreover, adding SSL certificate make the dashboard more secure.
- 1.Navigate to AWS dashboard > EC2 > load balancers and select the akto dashboard load balancer.

- 2.Go to
Listeners and rules
and select theHTTP:80
rule.

- 3.Click on
Edit listener

- 4.Change protocol from
HTTP
toHTTPS
.

- 5.Add your SSL certificate to the listener.

- 6.Click on save changes. The protocol should be changed by this. To make it reachable by the load balancer we would edit its security group.

- 7.On the same page, click on security and click on the associated security group.

- 8.Click on edit inbound rules.

- 9.Change the type of protocol from HTTP to HTTPS and save the inbound rule of the security group.

- 10.You should now be able to access akto dashboard's load-balancer IP on HTTPS and it should give an invalid SSL certificate error, because the certificate belongs to your organization and would have been mapped to your organization's domain name.
