When a tenant hosts an application to be used by external parties, it should ideally have a short URL. Shorter URLs are easier to be memorized and typed, which eliminates the need to log-in to access the application. Also, tenant information and other descriptive attributes are hidden in shorter URLs, and they are more convenient in hard-copy productions.
...
The URL mapping functionality is bundled by default in the WSO2 Application Server. If it is not included in the WSO2 product you are using, you can install it using the instructions provided in section Feature Management. Once installed, the necessary menus will appear in the product's management console.
...
6. The added URL mapping appears in the "URL Mapping" window. From there, you can edit or delete the mapping.
- Here the suffix "localhost" comes from CARBON_HOME/repository/conf/etc/url-mapping-config.xml. You can configure your own suffix and 'URL mappings limit' per web application in the mentioned configuration file. By default, the suffix is "localhost" and 'URL mappings limit' is one.
7. Once the URL mapping is created, your domain is "exampleapp.wso2.com". Whether you are a tenant or not, you can access this Web application by entering the URL "https://exampleapp.wso2.com:port" as shown below:
Also, to To access your own domain, a cname is required. If a cname is not available at the moment, you can use /etc/hosts file in ubuntu and or Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file in windows to put your domain entries pointing to the local ip.
