Changing default site to be adaxes

Question

Is there a way to change the default site that shows up to adaxes instead of the IIS 7 default splash page?

Answer 1

Hello John,

Yes, 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 and select the web site that hosts Adaxes Web Interface.
3. In the Home pane on the right, double-click HTTP Redirect.
   
4. Select Redirect requests to this destination.
5. In the field below, enter the URL you need (e.g. http://host.comapny.com/Adaxes for the Common Sign In page).
6. Select Only redirect requests to content in this directory (not subdirectories).
   
7. In the Actions pane on the right, click Apply.
   
8. Restart IIS.

Hello,

There is no such possibility in Adaxes. The only way is to actually rename the computer where Adaxes is installed. If you need that only for the Web interface component, you can change the bindings in IIS for the Web site that hosts Adaxes Web interface. The following Microsoft article might be helpful: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/configuration/system.applicationhost/sites/site/bindings/binding.

What about if you requite HTTPS, , for example

User access's https://ad.company.com

This does not seem to redirect to https://ad.company.com/Adaxes

As the Above is an HTTP redirect

Hello,

That is also something that you should be able to configure using IIS redirects. Unfortunately, we were not able to find a dedicated article. You can try checking the official IIS web site: https://www.iis.net.
