Setting up Tracking First in CNAME
CommandersAct recommends using a WAF proxy. CNAME tracking first is only an alternative if a WAF proxy cannot be configured.
When setting up tracking first by CNAME, it is essential to create the CAID cookie yourself (On-Premise CAID).
How to proceed
- Please declare the chosen subdomain on your CAX platform: Administration > Domain Management > Add subdomain - Enter your full domain: XYZ.myshop.com 
- Select CNAME 
- Unless otherwise specified, let Let's Encrypt manage the certificate for your domain. 
  
- Retrieve your DNS configuration and send this information, along with the name of your chosen subdomain, to your IT department so that they can configure your CNAME. 
- Once configured, return to the CommandersAct CAX platform Administration > Domain Management Validate the chosen domain configuration and generate a certificate (blue buttons). 


- Activate "Container integration" for the newly created sub-domain. 

- Regenerate and deploy all your containers. 
- Tracking may need to be upgraded if it is managed outside the container (e.g. tracking views, clicks, data activation, OneTag outside commandersAct containers, etc.). If in doubt, contact support ([email protected]). 
- Bravo, you're now trading in "First"!
