Brightspace Hosting Guidelines

The D2L Brightspace Cloud provides a continuous delivery model where your environment is deployed and updated without impact to performance or availability for end users. When implementing your Brightspace Learning Environment in the D2L Brightspace Cloud, by default, a domain managed by D2L is provided for your site access. Standard Brightspace hosting configurations include:

• Default Secure URL configurations, such as https://[orgname].brightspace.com.

• Default DMARC compliant Mail configurations, such as mail.orgname.brightspace.com.

• Default backup configurations and 30-day retention.
• Brightspace core data access using data sets.

There are custom hosting configurations that clients can request, including:

• Using a custom URL for site access. Usually the URL is branded with a domain managed by the client organization.
• Securing custom URLs with an auto-renewing SSL certificate.
• Using a custom mail domain for the Brightspace email.
• Using publicly signed and accessible LDAP Servers if you are using the D2L LDAP integration for authentication into Brightspace.
