The SAP Custom Domain Service allows organizations to map their own custom domain names to applications hosted on SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP), enabling them to deliver a branded and secure access point for their users. By simplifying domain management and ensuring alignment with enterprise identity standards, this service empowers businesses to strengthen their digital presence while maintaining the high performance and reliability of SAP Cloud Services.
This article explored the key features and benefits of the SAP Custom Domain Service, highlighting its role in streamlining domain configuration, management, and optimization across the enterprise landscape.
What is the SAP Custom Domain Service?
SAP Custom Domain Service is an enterprise-grade domain configuration solution that helps organizations connect applications, users, and business processes across hybrid cloud environments. It provides a unified set of tools and services, such as domain management, TLS configuration, certificate lifecycle management, and custom routing capabilities, to streamline accessibility between SAP BTP applications and end users.
Designed to support digital transformation initiatives, SAP Custom Domain Service simplifies domain configuration, enhances application identity, and ensures secure connections across the enterprise.
Availability for Custom Domain Service
The SAP Custom Domain Service runs on both SAP and IAAS (Infrastructure as a Service) provider systems, allowing organizations to access key custom domain functionality in their SAP Neo or SAP Cloud Foundry environment. These provider systems are either owned directly by SAP or by its partner infrastructure providers, such as Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, and Amazon Web Services.
In addition to its availability across custom and default domain landscapes, SAP Custom Domain Service is available in multiple languages. The web-based administration user interface is available in English; however, the Custom Domain service documentation on the SAP Help Portal is available in English, Chinese, and Japanese.
