Allow custom local hostnames for Opti ID CMS integration

Currently, in order to test Opti ID integration with Optimizely CMS in a local development environment, you must use https://localhost:5000 as the host URL. Custom hostnames are not allowed, and you will get an error message back from Opti ID if you try to use a custom URL.

For local development, we often set our sites up in IIS using the hostname format "sitename.local". However, when using Opti ID, we are stuck with using localhost:5000. If we were to have multiple sites using Opti ID, this could cause conflicts, since every site would need to use localhost:5000.

It would be great if we had the ability to whitelist custom local hostnames for use with Opti ID. Or, at the very least, to allow a range of port numbers so that every site does not need to use port 5000. This would be more flexible and less disruptive to our local site setup process. Thanks!

    When developing a solution where you need to test multiple sites this is very limiting. You have 4 urls below, but this is a false limitation. I have a scenario where I need to develop 8 different sites.

    Hello, thank you for your feedback. We do support some other ports in addition to the 5000 in case that is in use on your local machine.
