Server Root Domain and User Pages

Server Root Domain

The server root domain is the location on the VM:Webgateway service virtual machine (SVM) from which VM:Webgateway can serve data. Before you can use VM:Webgateway to serve data, a VM:Webgateway system administrator must configure the location of the server root domain. Define the location of the server root domain as:

• A single minidisk
• A single SFS directory and its subdirectories
• A single BFS directory and its subdirectories
• Minidisks and SFS directories accessed by the VM:Webgateway SVM based on the SVM's CMS search order

User Pages

A user page is the location on an individual VM userid from which VM:Webgateway can serve data. It is the repository for data served by a single VM userid. For example, a user can serve his personal home page from his user page. A VM:Webgateway system administrator must configure VM:Webgateway to allow user pages before a VM userid can serve data from a user page. A VM user can define a user page as:

• A single minidisk
• A single SFS directory and its subdirectories
• A single BFS directory and its subdirectories

To view data stored in a user page, a web browser user must specify the VM userid as the ~userid in the path portion of a URL.
