In trying to prevent the need to login twice (5.6.1), I played around a bit with portal alias mapping mode in Admin.. Site Settings...Advanced... Portal Alias ---
Changing the mode to "Canonical" still requires 2 separate logins. For example, if a link goes to mysite.com/AboutUs/OurStaff.aspx but you're logged into www.mysite.com, you will have to login again.
Changing to "Redirect" will redirect any www containing url to the BASE url / default portal alias, which is not ideal... but it fixes the problem of people logging into the www. site. In other words, you can't even use any URL on the site if it contains www.mysite.com in the base -- it just directs you to mysite.com
ACTUAL:
www.mysite.com/AboutUs/OurStaff.aspx gets redirected to mysite.com
EXPECTED:
www.mysite.com/AboutUs/OurStaff.aspx gets redirected to mysite.com/AboutUs/OurStaff.aspx
PROPOSED FIX: Create new option for expected behavior, or change "Redirect" option to ONLY redirect the base URL (and keep the rest of the URL in tact)... not the entire URL. A new option could be "redirect base URL" or "redirect root URL"
Is there any way to make this happen?
Thanks!
