Setting up an alternative host

In the advanced settings for a mobile app, you can set up the app to connect to a specific URL that points to the same instance of the Pega Platform servlet, or an identical copy of the servlet. This way you can distribute the workload between servers or redirect users from different regions or subsidiary companies to URL addresses that correspond to their location. If you are configuring Pega Platform to support user authentication against an external OAuth 2.0 server, using the Resource Owner Password Credentials (ROPC) authentication flow, you must provide the URL that points to the servlet that is used by your custom authentication service.
Before you begin: Open the mobile channel interface. For more information, see Navigating to the mobile channel.
  1. On the Configuration tab, expand the Advanced section.
  2. Select the Override default host check box.
  3. Enter a URL address for another Pega Platform instance, in the following format: http://<SERVER_HOSTNAME>:<SERVER_PORT>/prweb/<SERVLET_NAME>, for example http://10.20.30.123:1080/prweb/PRWebLDAP_OAuth2.
  4. Click Save.
