Issue/Introduction

We have an issue in accessing the WEB Client using http://ip-address:8080/VantageGMI/ and need to change the URL to use the hostname instead, such as: http://hostname:8080/VantageGMI/

How can the Web Client be configured for this change? 

Environment

Vantage

Resolution

The URL is not defined in the tomcat configuration. It is the URL or IP address that belongs to the system on which the web client is running.
http://ip-address:8080/VantageGMI/ should work the same way as http://hostname:8080/VantageGMI/ , provided the hostname resolves to the IP-Address.
