Portal (irj) Context Root Definition

[bradley_fortner]

Is it possible to change the context root of the portal from the /irj to something user defined? We have an issue with a federated portal network that is behind a security appliance that re-writes URLs (similiar to a reverse proxy), but the devices is getting confused on two servers with the same context root of /irj. For this device we write rules based on just the query path, not the full URL, so we can only write a rule like "/irj*" -> server A, but then can not write the same rule to server B.

What we would like to be able to do is re-define one of the portals to use a different context root so that we have something like this.

http://servera.com/tbd/portal (where tbd would be the new context root)

http://serverb.com/irj/portal

Thanks.

you can change the portal url by using reverse proxy method which is used for external facing portal or by changing the NW AS Java configuration.

check the below wiki which will help you.

Raghu, to my knowledge neither of these options will help us as we already reasearched them. Changing the HTTP provider in AS-Java only provides a default redirect, in actuality the /irj/portal URL is still invoked. Using the Reverse Proxy only has the advantage of changing the hostname portion of the URL which in our case does not help, we need the context root changed since we can not interogate on the hostname, only the path info portion of the URL.
