TracCloud Custom URL
By default, we offer four different URL formats for your TracCloud instance, depending on which you prefer. These are listed below.
traccloud.go-redrock.com/SCHOOL (Default)
app.trac.cloud/SCHOOL
SCHOOL.trac.cloud
SCHOOL.traccloud.com

However, if you want to use your own domain (e.g., trac.school.edu). This requires some additional configuration in your DNS settings and coordination with Redrock Software. Two CNAME records will need to be created, school.edu is being used as an example below.

Redrock will provide the exact CNAMEs once you're ready to move forward with this process. The CNAMEs below are for example, and should not be used in your actual CNAME records.

1. Create a CNAME pointing to AWS.
trac.school.edu (any subdomain works, using 'trac' as an example here)
Pointing to:
aws.east.123.trac.cloud

2. Create a CNAME for AWS Validation.
_ABCDEFGHIJ1234567890.school.edu.
Pointing to:
_ABCDEFGHIJ.1234567890.acm-validations.aws.

3. Inform Redrock that this change was made.
We have an extra step to perform on our end once you've updated your DNS configuration. Let us know once you've made the change listed above and we'll handle the rest.

When you're ready to start using your custom domain, reach out to us at helpdesk@go-redrock.com with the URL you want to use, and we will provide the validation URLs along with specific instructions for your campus.
