URL Questions

Hi,

I need the user to just type in : www.mydomain.com on their browser and it automatically shows them the login page.

If I just do that, I get a Page Not Found error. BUT

If I type in www.mydomain.com/AwareIM, then it opens up my 'index.html'

I have checked my web.xml and server.xml and modified the setting after searching for tips here in th forum, but this one I couldn't quite work out

Thanks George.

I need to be able to make it so that I can add another app on the same AwareIM Server and physical server. This is what I want to achieve

This is a bit of an out of date / late response - I have been playing around with synthetic DNS records and use a redirect for my users

I have a registered host: servername.com

I then have subdomain forwarding set to say:
www.clientserver.com -> servername.com:8080/AwareIM/logonOp.aw?domain=ClientApp&logonPage=logonClient.html

I've then used created a copy of the logon.html page (the one with just the username and password) renamed it logonClient.html to make it be more client specific.

When the client uses the www.clientserver.com url it then loads the login page.

What I haven't managed to look into yet is masking the URL to stop it from changing from www.client.com to server name.com:8080/AwareIM/etc etc.

This is probably teaching everyone else's granny to suck eggs but I just figured it all out...

I've done something similar. I did a URL rewrite, which works fine - but the URL in the address bar changes (as you have now). I cannot get a URL redirect to work. I'm doing something slightly different in that the URL I use includes login parameters. This is relevant because with the redirect (URL in address bar does not change) I get stuck on the 'Loading page. Please wait...' screen that is normally shown after logging in.
