Adding Application Aliases to a Logon
Group
Use
You determine which applications are accessible from a logon group by adding their application aliases to its configurations. Aliases can be defined in two ways that affect the way they are used to request the application:
● If the application alias is added to the Aliases list of the logon group, then you must use the logon group name next to this alias (separated by the zone separator symbol) in order to request the application. For example, if myapp alias is defined in the Aliases list of the mygroup logon group, then the request URL should be: http://<host>:<port>/myapp~mygroup/<resource>.
● If you want to add only a part of the URL, use the Exact Aliases list of the logon group. For example, if you add the string my/prefix in the Exact Aliases list, requests to all applications with aliases that start with my/prefix (including my/prefix) will be processed within this logon group, for example, my/prefix/a, my/prefix/b, or my/prefix/a/b.
The prefix has to be followed by a slash (/) in the required URL to match the pattern.
Procedure
...
1. Select the logon group that you need to configure from the Logon Groups frame.
The Details frame is displayed below.
2. To add an application alias that is used in combination with the logon group’s name, choose Add Aliases from the Aliases tab.
3. Choose the aliases that you want to add from the list of application aliases of all deployed applications.
4. Choose OK.
The procedure of adding exact aliases is analogous to the one described above. You use the Exact Aliases tab to do this. Following this procedure, you can only add an existing prefix.
If you want to create a new prefix and add it you have to use these Telnet commands:
> add http > logon_group <Logon_Group_Name> –addPrefix <My_Prefix_Name> |
For <Logon_Group_Name> you have to use an existing logon group. With this Telnet command your prefix is automatically created and added in the Exact Aliases list.
