Domains in PADS4 make it possible to manage multiple independent client environments on a single PADS4 server. This allows different organizations or departments to operate separately while using the same infrastructure. With the enhanced domain support, all PADS4 services and applications are now domain-aware, and domains can be fully configured and managed through the PADS4 CTRL Center.

​
Prerequisites

Before creating a new domain, ensure that your PADS4 installation is updated to version 2023.1 or later, as domain functionality is only supported from this version onward.
Each domain requires its own PADS4 license. Verify that you have obtained the necessary license before proceeding with domain setup.

​
Default Domain

During PADS4 installation, a default domain named PADS is automatically created. This serves as the initial environment.

​
Editing the Default Domain

From the Domains section of the root interface:
  • Select the PADS domain entry.
  • Click the three dots ⁝ menu to access edit options.
  • Update the DNS Host Name to match your server’s address.
  • Upload your third-party signed SSL certificate (.CRT) and private key (.KEY).
