Hi, I'm trying to configure an alternate URL for FIM Portal. Actually domain users can access it at the link https://IP_host/IdentityManagement. I would they can access it at the alternative link https://nome_host/IdentityManagement. So I added it to Public URL for Intranet zone in the following way When users try to access it from the browser .. they get the 401 Unauthorized message and Event Viewer on the server record this event: Event 8214 - Windows SharePoint Services 3 A request was made for a URL, https://nome_host.XYZ.net (intranet one), which has not been configured in Alternate Access Mappings. Some links may point to the Alternate Access URL for the default zone, https://nome_host (default one). Review the Alternate Access mappings for this Web application at http://localhost:13760/_admin/AlternateUrlCollections.aspx and consider adding https://nome_host.XYZ.net (intranet one) as a Public Alternate Access URL if it will be used frequently. Help on this error: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=114854 Please, can you help me? Francesca

You should probably add the /IdentityManagement subsite to the URL, like https://home.xyz.net/identitymanagement ? Oterwise, they'll get to the default site, which they probably don't have permissions for. Also, make sure that Authenticated User can get to the site (there was a tickmark during installation for this); if not you can go to Site Settings and add them there (cant' remember the exact prescription for this)Regards, Soren Granfeldt blog is at http://blog.goverco.com | twitter at https://twitter.com/#!/MrGranfeldt

Yes, authenticated users can access the Portal (from the https://IP_host/IdentityManagement site they can access their information).. I tried to add the /IdentityManagement subsite to the URL but I get the error "URL format is invalid". Any other suggestion?

I think you need to change the Default URL to be something different than localhost (the URL you'd like users to use). You can set localhost as a different type of address. As I seem to remember SharePoint will redirect users to this URL and they'll have no chance to get at http://localhost when coming from a client. Also double-check your DNS entries. I'm no SharePoint admin so just "working" from memory here...Regards, Soren Granfeldt blog is at http://blog.goverco.com | twitter at https://twitter.com/#!/MrGranfeldt

To configure the alternate access mappings perform the following steps from the central administration tool. Select SharePoint - 80 from the Alternate Access Mapping Collection drop-down in the top right of the page.Click Edit Public URLs and modify the default value to that of your intended virtual host name, e.g. http://idmweb. Click Save.Click Add Internal URL and then enter the FQDN for the virtual name. Leave the zone as Default. Click Save.Repeat step four for any other valid names and also add the actual hostname as an internal URL too. Execute IISRESET from an administrative command prompt and the configuration is completeFrank C. Drewes III - Architect - Oxford Computer Group

Frek, thank you very much. I did as you suggested (my intended virtual host name is the same as the FQDN resolved by the DNS : https://host_name.XYZ.net) .. now I have a direct mapping in the default zone between these URLs (internal https://host_name.XYZ.net and public https://host_name.XYZ.net). But when users try to access the Portal at https://host_name.XYZ.net/IdentityManagement they get the following error: Not Authorized HTTP Error 401. The requested resource requires user authentication. Otherwise, when they access the Portal at https://IP_host/IdentityManagement it works. Any other idea?
