  2. Click Add FQDN.

  3. Enter the DirectAccess global load balancing FQDN and click Add FQDN.
  4. Click OK.

    3. Enter port 443.
    4. Click Set Addr.
  8. If the Selection Criteria is set to Location Based, click Show Locations and assign a continent or country where the entry point resides.
