Operations carried out by the Mendix Operations Desk are not currently logged on the activity log.
These are activities which are performed on a customer’s behalf only with written approval through a support ticket.
3 Custom Domain
In this tab you can manage your custom domain certificates on an application level.
When your Mendix app needs to be accessible via your own URL (for example, https://myapp.mycompany.com/), you have to provide a custom domain certificate (an SSL/TLS certificate) so that we can keep serving your Mendix app via a secure connection.
There is also a section with an overview of linked custom domains.
For more information, see Custom Domains.
4 Access Restriction Profiles
In this tab you can manage custom access restriction profiles. These profiles can combine IP range filters and client certificate verification, then any match on either the IP range or the client certificate will grant access. Access restriction profiles can be applied to path-based access restrictions in specific environments of the application.
For more information on setting up access restriction profiles, see Restrict Access for Incoming Requests
