Creating an Alias to a Server Resource on the Alias Management Page
You can create an alias for a server resource on the Alias Management page:
*To create an alias to a server resource on the Alias Management page
1. As system administrator, click Administration Dashboard > Configuration > Alias Management.
2. Click Create.
3. In the Alias Name field, type the name for the new alias you want to create, for example Sales.
Do not include spaces in the alias name.
4. For Target, select one of the following targets for the new alias:
*Resource - targets a server resource, such as a folder, a portlet or an item. To specify the resource, click Browse and move the resource to the Selected Items box, then click Select.
*Path - targets an external resource, such as an URL. Specify the path to the external resource, for example http://www.softwareag.com.
Note:
When using server resources for alias targets, you can use the Append this string field to pass parameters or invoke a server command on the resource that the alias references.
5. Click Add Alias.
6. Confirm that your alias behaves as expected by browsing to the user-friendly URL for your new alias.
By default, when you create an alias, it is appended to the root URL for your server. For example, if you create an alias called Sales, you can access the new alias by typing the URL http://server:port/Sales.
