Defining the identifier for portal URLs

Portal URLs are the URLs that are automatically created by the portal itself. In order to be able to distinguish between a URL created by URL mapping and a portal URL, portal URLs have an identifier included. You can configure this identifier according to your preference.

About this task

To change the identifier of a portal URL, modify the parameter wps.mappingurl.portal_url_identifier in the portal WP Configuration Service. The format of the identifier must be as follows:
    /identifier_name/identifier_value
Notes:
  1. The identifier name is mandatory; the identifier value is optional.
  2. On a running production system, you should perform this task only if it is absolutely necessary, as it will break existing browser bookmarks to the portal.
  3. The following restrictions apply:
    • The portal URL identifier must not share its partial or full name string with the label of a root context. Example: If the identifier is name, then a root context must not be na or vice versa.
    • The identifier must contain only characters that are in the set of unreserved URL characters.
    • The identifier must not start with one of the special characters that are in the set of unreserved URL characters.
