Creating a Site Alias

App Portal / App Broker 2024 R1

App Portal / App Broker operates under the security context of a service account. In order for IIS to properly authenticate a user, it is required that an alias (DNS A-RECORD) be established prior to installing. This ensures that there will be no authentication problems between Active Directory and IIS when the installation is complete.

note

If, instead of specifying an alias, you want to specify the actual server name during installation, you do not need to create a DNS A‑RECORD because one already exists for the server. However, if you wish to use an alias instead of the server name, a DNS A-RECORD for that alias must be created to access the site.
