A property instructs Edgio how to securely process requests for your website. Setting up a property typically involves:
- Determining whether it will belong to an organization that allows collaboration with other team members or a private space with access restricted to your account.
- Environment(s). An environment allows you to serve your site on different domains.
- TLS certificate(s). Each hostname associated with an environment requires the installation of a TLS certificate on our network. Manage these TLS certificates through your property’s settings.
- Securing your web applications and API traffic. Secure your web applications and APIs across all environments using a single configuration at the property level.
Managing Properties
You may create, rename, or delete a property.
Managing an organization’s properties requires the
Admin
role within the desired organization.Upon creating a property, it will contain a
production
environment with the following configuration:- Hostname: Identifies a hostname through which your site will be served. Requests submitted by clients are directed to this hostname.
- Origin Configuration: Defines how Edgio communicates with your web server(s).
By default, hostname(s) defined during property creation are assigned to the first origin configuration. Once you have added multiple origin configurations, you may adjust this mapping as needed.
