Auto Redirect Default URL

Question

By default The Sign in Page for adaxes is Ex. adaxes.contoso.com/adaxes. After that I already set up the rules to redirect the user to the page that match their permissions.

I want to know how can I make the Login Page : adaxes.contoso.com (stripping out the /adaxes)

Thanks

Hello David,

If you want to generally remove the word Adaxes from the Web Interface URLs (e.g. change http://adaxesserver.company.com/Adaxes/Admin to http://adaxesserver.company.com/Admin), this can be easily done in IIS:

1. On the computer where Adaxes Web interface is installed, launch Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
2. In the Connections pane, expand the server that hosts Adaxes Web Interface and then expand Sites.
3. Select the web site that hosts Adaxes Web Interface and click Advanced Settings in the Actions pane.
4. Set the Physical Path to the App subfolder of the folder where Adaxes Web Interface is installed. By default, the folder is C:\Program Files\Softerra\Adaxes 3\Web Interface.
5. Click OK.
6. Restart IIS.
7. IMPORTANT: The only limitation in this case, is that you will not be able to create a Web Interface called AdaxesConfig as it will conflict with the Web Interface Configurator.

If you want to just redirect the page of the web site that hosts Adaxes Web Interface to the Common Sign in page, this can also be done in IIS:

1. On the computer where Adaxes Web interface is installed, launch Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
2. In the Connections pane, expand the server that hosts Adaxes Web Interface.
3. Expand Sites and select the web site that hosts Adaxes Web Interface.
4. In the Home pane on the right, double-click HTTP Redirect.
5. Select the Redirect requests to this destination checkbox.
6. In the field below, enter the required URL (e.g. http://adaxes.contoso.com/Adaxes).
7. Clear the Redirect all requests to exact destination (instead of relative to destination) checkbox.
8. Select Only redirect requests to content in this directory (not subdirectories).
9. Select the Permanent (301) status code.
10. Click Apply in the Actions pane on the right.
11. Make sure that no HTTP redirects are enabled for the Adaxes, AdaxesConfig and AdaxesSpmlWS virtual directories. If there are, disable the redirects.
12. Restart IIS.
