Creating a Site Alias

App Portal / App Broker 2021 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.
