Is this a genuine Apple sub domain?

That depends on random selection and the state of weather at some equally random location on the planet Zog. Getting forcibly logged out seems to be a totally unpredictable event, sometimes I can go many hours and still be logged in, sometimes I login then have to login again 5 minutes later.

Indeed... there IS a current bug that seems to affect only SOME people and not others - it cannot be reliably reproduced ("every time I do A, B, C... it logs me out") - so the "engineers" cannot even begin to fix it!

For me, the 30 minutes of inactivity timer seems to work as designed.

The other "languages" communities do not have a logout timer at all - I do not visit for months and am still logged in.

All that proves is that, in this case, my knowledge was lacking! 😉

Sorry - failed to notice personal info on the screenshots. I have edited them now:

Clicking on your link says "Page Not Found", and sends you to this generic nowhere land result.

https://www.apple.com/filenotfound

No, it isn't.

Hi,

Anything following this is genuine: '*.apple.com/*'. But, idmsa.apple.com doesn't exist even though it is from Apple.

Hope this helps,
Richard

I just clicked on your link, and Firefox informs me that the URL that you click on is being redirected to another site which is no longer found. Wherever did you dig that up?

Best,

GB

You're welcome. 🙂

You'd have to check with the engineers running this site; we just call them "expected glitches".

No. that is a scam website

What’s a scam website?

If you mean the idmsa link we’ve been discussing, then you are wrong. Try reading further than the initial post.
