Configuring URL redirection for ThingWorx
To maintain a cleaner look of your ThingWorx server access URL, whether for production or convenience reasons, you may look into setting up redirection.
This is a quick example on how to redirect <your.main.url.com> to <your.main.url.com/Thingworx>
Go to the /<apache-tomcat-directory>/webapps/ROOT/ and find the "index.jsp" file. Copy that file for backup purposes and replace with a new one, containing the following:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Redirecting....</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<script type="text/javascript">
function Redirect() {
window.location="/Thingworx/";
}
setTimeout('Redirect()', 0);
</script>
</head>
Please note that once the URL is hit, it will still append the rest of the /Thingworx query in the address bar (i.e keep the "redirected to" address).
You may also utilize this to have your <main.url.com> redirect to one of the mashups. This was the user, with proper permissions in place, may access the mashup directly, bypassing the Composer.
