Once you create the virtual directory in IIS to a folder (the only way you can), then go back and switch it to a redirection to a URL (also "The exact URL entered above," and "A permanent redirection for this resource." The redirection URL in my case, for a virtual directory of ITSMHome, points to Tomcat where mid-tier is. We have done the same thing for years to provide a short link to the mid-tier 5.1.2 web on IIS 5.0.
http://itsm.unt.edu/ITSMHome is a virtual directory on IIS that points to mid-tier on http://remedy5.ars.unt.edu:8080/arsys/home which of course redirects to http://remedy5.ars.unt.edu:8080/arsys/shared/login.jsp?/arsys/home Christopher Strauss, Ph.D. Remedy Database Administrator University of North Texas Computing Center http://itsm.unt.edu/ > -----Original Message----- > From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rabi Tripathi > Sent: Friday, October 12, 2007 1:04 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Map "http://midtierservername"; to a midtier URL such > as "http://midtierservername/arsys/home";? > > I have IIS 6, Tomcat 5.5.17 w > This is for web server/jsp engine gurus. > > I have IIS 6, Tomcat 5.5.17 with Midtier 7.0.1. > > I tried messing with IIS's configuration so that > http://midtierserver name would map to something like > http://midtierservername/arsys/home, so people wouldn't have > to type a long URL.
