Selecting the Default Application

You can use Applications > Select Default Application to designate the default application that displays in a web browser when you go directly to the appliance’s base URL.

The default for the default application is appliance control panel. This means that for a new appliance, when you enter http://<appliance_base_address>/ into your browser's address bar (where <appliance_base_address> is the host/domain name or IP address of the appliance), the Appliance Control Panel window opens. To go to a different application, you would need to use the full URL for that application, which generally has a form of the application name added to the base URL.

If you go to the Select Default Application window, select any listed application, and then select Submit, that application becomes the new default. Then, when you go to http://<appliance_base_address>/ in your browser, you are redirected to the selected application. This change also means that to go to the control panel, you now need to use its full http://<appliance_base_address>/cp/ address.

If you select Custom URL as the default, you can enter any web address into the field, and then select Submit. Then, when you to go to http://<appliance_base_address>/, you are redirected to the address that you entered. For example, if you submit http://www.example.com/ as the custom URL, the appliance base URL would take you to the Example.com home page, http://www.example.com/.
