Map the Report Portal Pages to Virtual Directories

To configure Report Portal, you must map its application files to virtual directories.

A virtual directory defines the address that browser clients use to locate a physical resource on the IIS application server. To access Report Portal, clients point their browsers to the virtual directory that you assign to the portal.

The name of the virtual directory that you assign to Report Portal must match the name that you used for the VSVirtualPortalName folder in Step 3 of the previous section. For example, if you want to use “Portal” as the name of your Report Portal, you must map the portal’s files to a virtual directory named “Portal.” The following example shows the URI that clients would use to access a Report Portal assigned to the virtual directory VisualReportPortal on a server called myWebServer:

https://myWebServer/VisualReportPortal

The following procedures describe how to map Report Portal to a virtual directory on IIS 5.0, 6.0, and 7.0 or higher.

Follow the set of procedures for the version of IIS that you are using:

• Mapping Report Portal to a Virtual Directory (IIS 7.0)
