Hi,

i want to set *.mydomain.tld to access one speicific site access, so every user to have his own url, for example:
https://user1.mydomain.tld  will access siteaccess where only his objects and filters will be shown.

https://user2.mydomain.tld  will access siteaccess where only his objects and filters will be shown.

Site access for user1 and user2 is the same.

Site access for www.mydomain.tld is different

Site access for admin.mydomain.tld is different.

I checked HostMapping settings, but cannot figure out how to get what i want.

 

Is this possible and how can i do that? 

Thanks in advanced.

Hi Ali,

You'll have to edit settings/override/site.ini.append.php

First be sure to have declared your siteaccess in [SiteSettings]

[SiteSettings]
DefaultAccess=the_default_siteaccess
SiteList[]=the_default_siteaccess
SiteList[]=siteaccess2
SiteList[]=siteaccess3
# ...

Next you'll have to edit the HostMatchMapItems :

[SiteAccessSettings]
HostMatchMapItems[]=www.mydomain.tld;the_default_siteaccess
HostMatchMapItems[]=user1.mydomain.tld;siteaccess1
HostMatchMapItems[]=user2.mydomain.tld;siteaccess2

And of course you should configure your DNS to redirect user1.mydomain.tld and user2.mydomain.tld to your server, and to configure your VirtualHost to do it too.

Hi, Damien.

 

Thanks for your reply.

 

Yes, this case is clear when there are few subdomains, but my point is to be more flexible. So it does not matter how many subdomain i will have, all they to point to specific siteaccess.

I'm reading now this

Regexp matching

HostMatchType=regexp
HostMatchRegexp=^(.+)\.example\.com
HostMatchRegexpItem=1

This regexp setup uses the regular expression ^(.+)\.example\.com to match anything in front of .example.com. The first match is set up to hold the siteaccess. E.g the hostname test.example.com yields the siteaccess test.

All this is ok except this line: 

HostMatchRegexpItem=1

Here i should able to set which siteaccess will be accessed when there is match with the regex in the rule above. But it seems that it is not possible without changing the php code.

 

Any ideas are welcome :)

Try this:

HostMatchType=element
HostMatchElement=1

For all domains like *.example.com this should map to he "example" siteaccess.

Also, maybe you could get the same thing with "text" match type, but you'll have to try that.

Take a look at the docs:

Yes, using 'element' sounds like a solution. I will try it and post here the results. 

 

Thanks.
