White Labeling - SafeDNS

This guide will describe how to deploy a white-labeled edition of SafeDNS service for your customers.

 Prerequisites

 To deploy a white-labeled version of the SafeDNS service you should prepare the following images and send them to your Account Manager.:

  1. logo for login page (size 270x150, png with transparency)
  1. logo for dashboard pages (size 540x108, png)
  1. logo for a favicon (size 40x40, png with transparency)

After becoming a white-labeled reseller you will be able to define custom text and links to show your customers on the welcome screen (first page of the dashboard).

Also please send to your Account Manager information on the name and IP address of the host where your user's dashboard will be accessed by your customers. e.g. control.yourdomain.com 

Then you should complete the following tasks on your side:

  1. Get an SSL certificate for your domain (yourdomain.com in your case) or a single host (control.yourdomain.com). If you will use the certificate for the domain then it should be a wildcarded certificate.
  1. Set Nginx or Apache server that will proxy requests to our dashboard (host https://resellers.safedns.com) from your host control.yourdomain.com.

We offer such variants to provide full white labeling, not like others where only the entry portal has your URL.

 Example of Nginx config file

 

server {
listen 80;
listen 443 ssl;
root /var/www/html;

ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/private/control.yourdomain.com.combined.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/private/control.yourdomain.com.key;
ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;

server_name control.yourdomain.com;

if ( $request_uri ~ ^(/downloads/|/nic/) ) { break; }
if ( $scheme = "http" ) { rewrite ^/(.*)$
https://control.yourdomain.com/$1 permanent; }

location / {
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host "control.yourdomain.com";
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_pass https://resellers.safedns.com;

}

}

Example of Apache configuration

Install apache2: 

  sudo apt-get install apache2

Connect needed modules:

sudo a2enmod proxy remoteip

Tune configuration file for Apache Web Server:

 

Example of Apache config file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin  serveradmin@control.yourdomain.com
    Redirect permanent / https://control.yourdomain.com/
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:443>
    ServerName control.yourdomain.com
    SSLEngine on
    SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/control.yourdomain.com.key
    SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/private/control.yourdomain.com.combined.pem
    ServerAdmin  serveradmin@control.yourdomain.com
    SSLProxyEngine On
    SSLProtocol -all +TLSv1 +TLSv1.1 +TLSv1.2
    ProxyPass         /  https://resellers.safedns.com/
    ProxyPassReverse  /  https://resellers.safedns.com/
    RemoteIPHeader X-Real-IP
    RemoteIPHeader X-Forwarded-For
</VirtualHost>

Restart Apache Web Server: 

sudo service apache2 restart

We'll identify requests from your users by the combination of X-Forwarded-Host header and IP address of your host and will show a white-labeled edition for your users.

For sending emails from your domain, connect your email in the “Brand data” section of the “Settings” tab on the SafeDNS dashboard. Then, send your SMTP hostname to SafeDNS support team (support@safedns.com). Set up email sending without authentication from mail.safedns.com IP address in your mail server.

Also branding of SafeDNS Agent is available for an additional fee.
