Aliases
Aliases allow redirecting URLs to other URLs in the web server directory structure. You can use
aliases to create cross-references, or to define realms for Web page security. The syntax for an alias is:
URL:Path. The following example redirects a request made with the URL element
/forms/DIRA/Nvpage.HTML and converts it to /secureforms/Nvpage.htmredirects all URLs ending
in a slash to the index.htm file in the same path. By default, the */:*/index.htm alias is defined
implicitly (i.e. it will not appear in the URL : Path field). This alias redirects all URLs ending in a slash
to the index.htm file in the same path. The following example redirects a request made with the URL
element /forms/DIRA/Nvpage.HTML and converts it to /secureforms/Nvpage.html
/forms/DIRA/*:/secureforms/*
Tip: Use the asterisk (*) as a wildcard in both the URL string and alias string. It must occur only once
in the URL string and once in the alias string.
To create an alias:
1. Click the Aliases tab.
2. In URL, enter the URL that identifies the path to the Web pages for which you wish to define an
alias.
3. In Path, enter the path to which you wish to redirect.
4. Click Add.
5. Your new alias definition appears in the window.
