Inspect ESA configuration
01Review sites, DNS, origin pools, cache, compression, HTTPS, SaaS domains and origin rules. Retrieve all API pages and browse results in paginated tables.
ESA Automation · Windows desktop
Connect domains. Follow one workflow.
Bring Namecheap domains, Baota websites and Alibaba Cloud ESA SaaS onboarding into a workflow with preflight checks and stage-by-stage progress. Designed for website teams repeatedly setting up customer domains.

Core capabilities
Organize repeated onboarding steps.
Check existing resources for each domain and apply the required configuration in sequence.
Preflight before writing
02Filter unbound, unexpired domains using Namecheap DNS. Check DNS, matching resources and Baota websites, then review the proposed actions before execution.
Connect sites, domains and certificates
03Create or reuse compatible Baota sites, configure ESA service records, SaaS domains and origin Host rules, then update DNS. Wait for edge readiness before requesting the origin certificate and applying selected cache and Gzip rules.
Track each batch item
04Run one domain or a sequential batch with visible progress. Pending activation or certificates retain a retryable result and stop later domains from being written early.
Use Windows credential storage
05Optionally save connection credentials in Windows Credential Manager. Site defaults use the current user's registry, and saved credentials can be forgotten from the tool.
Capabilities and integration
Start with domains that meet the requirements.
The tool coordinates configuration; DNS propagation, service activation and certificate issuance remain with the respective providers.
| Scope | Capability | Use | Requirements |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alibaba Cloud ESA | Configuration inspection and SaaS resource creation | Organize domains, origins and rules | RAM permissions, an ESA site and available capabilities |
| Namecheap | Domain lookup and CNAME addition preserving existing records | Connect domain DNS to ESA | Namecheap DNS, API permissions and source IP allowlisting |
| Baota panel | Website creation and ACME certificate deployment | Prepare the origin website and HTTPS | HTTPS panel access, API allowlisting and supported site types |
| Windows and licensing | Desktop workflow and online validation | Manage onboarding from the desktop | Windows, a valid license and connectivity |
Use cases
Built around practical needs.
Website delivery teams
Repeated customer domain setupCombine tasks across several consoles into a reviewable workflow and check each domain's completion status.
Multi-domain operators
Sequential onboarding and result trackingSelect eligible domains and follow conflicts, pending stages and successful completion one at a time.
Cloud and website administrators
ESA inspection and onboarding preparationReview site configuration and rules before confirming origins, DNS, site types and permissions.
Review before applying changes
Automated onboarding requires a valid online license and access to the relevant APIs; Baota writes require HTTPS. Conflicting root DNS or incompatible matching resources stop the workflow instead of being overwritten. Activation and certificates depend on provider status. Full caching should only be enabled for suitable public static content.
Getting started
Validate the workflow with one domain.
Prepare Windows, an ESA site, a Namecheap domain and the Baota panel, confirm site defaults and licensing, then start with a single-domain preflight.
Onboarding
Check your environment and requirements.
Plan around your existing accounts, workflow and intended scope.
Accounts and licensing
01Prepare a valid license and the required permissions for each service.
Website and domain
02Confirm Namecheap DNS, origin IP, site directory and site type.
Onboarding rules
03Check DNS conflicts and certificate requirements before choosing cache and compression settings.
