Redirect to full url with DNS change

I am asked to put in a change to the DNS and have http://jazz redirect users to our full URL for the jts server login.

Are there any concerns with doing this?

Yes, you cannot modify the server name without going through a rename process ifrst.  If the server has already been configured with one URI, it cannot be changed without performing a server rename procedure first.  Hope it helps.

Answers above are focused on server rename, but I'm not sure that is really what the question is about.

There are likely other considerations to map requests to appropriate "/ccm" or "/rrc" folders but I believe that a basic DNS redirect (301 or similar) is what is proposed by Melanie and I believe that it should work fine.

e.g.
- User types "jazz" into the address bar
- Browser/OS looks up "jazz" in corporate DNS and get a redirect to "original_jts_hostname.yourdomain.com"

Full disclosure: I'm not the guy who actually configures this stuff, I just wave my hands around and smart people do the real work.

Hi Melanie,

If your CLM applications are already in use or the CLM Setup process has already completed then what Benjamin has said is absolutely true.

Considering this is a new deployment or just a plan, you can create a DNS alias to mask the underlying infrustructure and make the deployment server agnostic which will be of great use if you have to move the application server to a different machine in the future.
