Adding an application URL alias

An application URL alias is appended to the URL of your application, allowing you to customize the URL. When you add an application URL alias, be sure to share that with application users.

If you customize your web.xml to include a custom authentication servlet , then the application URL shown in the application definition is for informational purposes only. This application URL is always shown within login context. For example: When Dev Studio is launched using a PRAuth servlet, then the application URL displayed has PRAuth as a servlet. The application user needs to replace the application URL with the customized servlet name to launch the application.

The application URL alias must be unique to your application and is limited to eight alphanumeric characters. Application URL aliases cannot contain periods or underscores.

  1. In the header of Dev Studio, click the name of the application, and then click Definition.
  2. On the Definition tab, click the Change URL alias button.
  3. In the text box, enter your application alias.
  4. Click Submit.
  5. Click Save.
