Update production instance domainDeprecated

Change the domain of a production instance.

Changing the domain requires updating the DNS records accordingly, deploying new SSL certificates, updating your Social Connection's redirect URLs and setting the new keys in your code.

WARNING: Changing your domain will invalidate all current user sessions (i.e. users will be logged out). Also, while your application is being deployed, a small downtime is expected to occur.

SecuritybearerAuth
