Domain identity resolver

[ollieread]

Sprout does not currently support identifying tenants using a whole domain, though this is a common feature.

An identity resolver should be built that facilitates the usage of third-party tenant provided domains as tenant identifiers. The new domain identity resolver driver should be an extra layer on-top of the subdomain driver, mapping a domain to a subdomain. This will help in the following ways:

• If there are DNS issues with the tenant domain, the site is accessible through their subdomain.
• Tenants can use a CNAME record, pointing to their subdomain, simplifying the updating of DNS records should the application's DNS change.

Note

There exists plans to build out supporting functionality that will handle things like domain ownership verification and DNS checks. This functionality will most likely be released as add-ons, and is a future feature set.
