How to Configure Path-based Virtual Hosts

If your web applications share the same ports and use host-header values to separate traffic, you can configure path-based virtual hosts.

Configuring path-based virtual hosts on your Agent for SharePoint is a process that involves several separate procedures. Some procedures involve different components in your environment. To configure path-based virtual hosts on your Agent for SharePoint server, use the following process:

  1. Define a virtual host for each web application.
  2. Have your network administrator update your DNS server with the virtual host settings.
  3. Create proxy rules for your path-based virtual hosts.
  4. On your SharePoint central administration server, do the following:
    1. Change the public URL of the web application to the virtual host defined in the Agent for SharePoint.
    2. Change the internal URL of the web application to the actual URL of your SharePoint resource.
