absolute and relative URLs... help!

I'm having a problem with the URL scraper and links within the portal.

Unfortunately the iPlanet documentation seems to be written for people

who don't need manuals...

My portal server and gateway server are running on the same box, portal.

I am pointing to a web page on another server, web. The referenced page

appears in the portal page properly, however clicking on any link or

javascript results in the wrong URL being presented.

For example:

Page in portal=http://web/directory/page.html

Link on page=http://web/directory/page2.html

The portal server displays the linked page properly, however clicking on

the link gives:

https://portal/directory/page2.html

instead of:

https://portal:443/http://web/directory/page2.html

Similar behavior is seen for JavaScript:

javaScript:openWindow('/directory/page3.html')

tries to open //portal/directory/page3.html rather than

//web/directory/page3.html.

The documentation is not helping me very much. Can someone explain how

to correct this behavior? I've been systematically going through the use

gateway, rewrite URL, and all the other settings I can find.

Tomorrow's problem: why doesn't the HTTP Basic Authentication want to

remember passwords... I'm authenticating against an NT domain, but when

I try to link to a passworded page on that NT server I have to enter the

userID/password again, even though it's the same as the portal server's.

thanks,

tg.

The CNAME's you are using, are they correctly configured in DNS? Also, do you have rewritting enabled? Make sure that your portal server, server can talk DNS. I also wouldn't recommend putting your gateway and portal server, servers on the same box. This might be the cause of your problem if it's been incorrectly configured.Tom Glaab wrote:I'm having a problem with the URL scraper and links within the portal.Unfortunately the iPlanet documentation seems to be written for peoplewho don't need manuals...Make sure you have cookies enabled in the gateway console Tomorrow's problem: why doesn't the HTTP Basic Authentication want toremember passwords...
