    Hi Richard_Wendon,

     

    A common part of the launch process for the community is the creation of a CNAME for the community, which essentially creates a mapping between your desired domain name and the Lithium-hosted domain name. This allows the community to be "branded" in your domain and appear as though it's part of your website.

     

    At a minimium, each community will have a CNAME for production. If you desire, or if your technical implementation requires it (i.e. for testing with Lithium SSO), you may also setup a CNAME for your stage environment. For more information on CNAMEs, check out this link:

    I hope this helps!

  • I'm assuming its something to do with logged in states... but it's a bit of a weird behaviour
