Step-by-Step Guide to Connecting AD Domain to Wix

1. Verify Domain Ownership

Before initiating the connection, ensure that you have verified ownership of your domain. This typically involves adding a TXT record to your DNS settings.

Access your domain registrar’s control panel and update the DNS records as guided by the Domain Connection Guide App. Ensure that MX, CNAME, and A records are correctly configured to point to Wix servers.

3. Adjust Firewall Settings

If your AD domain is behind a firewall, you’ll need to allow traffic through specific ports required by Wix. Refer to the app’s firewall configuration guide to open the necessary ports.

4. Synchronise AD with Wix

Use the app to synchronise your AD directory with Wix. This ensures that user accounts are correctly mapped and that permissions are appropriately set.
