Your OpenID will look like; https://identity.cloud.wso2.com/openid/prabath - under the format https://identity.cloud.wso2.com/openid/{user@domain}

4. Now, you want your users' OpenIDs to fall under your domain - to look like; https://identity.facilelogin.com/openid/{user@facilelogin.com}

5. To do that you need to go your domain controller and add CNAME, pointing to identity.cloud.wso2.com
