Amazon CloudFront (AWS) Configuration Guide

Introduction

To forward requests to JENTIS via CloudFront, we need to add a new custom origin to the CloudFront distribution and define a behavior for the origin.

• Admin access to the AWS Management Console.

Step 1: Create Origin

1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the CloudFront console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/v4/home.

2. Navigate to Distributions

3. Open the distribution for your website

4. Navigate to Origins

5. Click Create origin

   
6. Specify the following:

   1. Origin domain: hash of the JENTIS container as subdomain + . + website domain, e.g. hash.yourwebsitedomain.com

   2. Protocol: HTTPS

   3. Port: 443

   4. MinimumSSL protocol: TLSv1.2

   5. Name: hash.yourwebsitedomain.com (or any other)

   6. Enable Origin Shield: No

      
7. Press Create Origin

Step 2: Define Behavior

1. In your website distribution go to Behaviors;

2. Click Create behavior

   
3. Specify the following:

   1. Path pattern: '/' + hash of the tracking container, e.g /hash

   2. Origin and origin groups: hash.yourwebsitedomain.com (origin from the previous step)

   3. Compress objects automatically: No

   4. Viewer protocol policy: HTTPS Only

   5. Allowed HTTP methods: GET, HEAD, OPTIONS, PUT, POST, PATCH, DELETE

   6. Cache HTTP methods: disabled

   7. Allow gRPC requests over HTTP/2: disabled

   8. Restrict viewer access: No

   9. Cache key and origin requests → Cache policy: CachingDisabled

   10. Cache key and origin requests → Origin request policy: None

   11. Cache key and origin requests → Response headers policy: None

       
4. Press Create Behavior

Conclusion

You have now created your new custom behaviour, and your request will be forwarded from now on.

After enabling Cookie lifetime extender, the DCP will give a proxy code that is expected to be setup on https://domain.*/hash however, if it is set up on https://www.domain.*/hash it will cause a CORS Error on the Cookie Lifetime Extender Requests.
