Redirection of homepage

I have found some topics in r2 on how to redirect a user to infoview home page.
For instance
http://company

should take to http/boserver:8080

I would like to do same in XIR3, is it possible?

Please assist

it is a non-businessobjects relevant trouble. I think it is a right thing to create some nice-entry-url for users but you should contact the network team of your company to define such alias in your network.

Thanks Bernard for the reply.
But I cannot agree that it is entirely network team, as the link in my post mentions, BO experts did it on R2 and I am looking to see if it possible to do the same thing in R3… :nonod:

Hi All,
here is what I have done so far, changed the port to 80 instead of 8080 so that I don’t have to use the port number.

had the network admin created alias reportsdev

changed the index.jsp to include

but when I hit http://reportsdev/

it takes me to the tomcat home page , please let me know where am I going wrong…

My version is BO XIR3 on tomacat5.5
