Tenant Mapping (Web Services)

An Agent can contain one or multiple tenants. If a tenant’s domain or alias matches a reverse proxy service domain, the Agent automatically links the tenant to that domain. You can verify which reverse proxy service domains are associated with each tenant in Web services -> Services -> EdgeGuard column.
