Situation

Purpose:
To auto redirect Apache default page to WebAccess login page

Resolution

For Windows/SLES/OES Linux
  1. Create a file named index.html in the document root directory of IIS/Apache webserver.
  2. Add the following lines to index.html
    <html>
    <head>
    <meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=http://DNS_NAME_SERVER/gw/webacc">
    </head>
    </html>
  3. Save the file and restart the web server.
(Note: Replace DNS_NAME_SERVER with the actual website name.)
 
Default document root directory for IIS on Windows is c:\wwwroot\inetpub and for Apache on OES/SLES Linux is /srv/www/htdocs.
