Configure multiple web dock applications on a page

We can have multiple web dock applications that point to different hosts on the same portal page. We can also allow users to open two different portal pages containing web dock applications in a new browser window or tab.

Restriction: If we complete these steps, the inter-portlet communication feature is disabled.

This alias is prefixed to the server name used to access the portal. It is then used to access the portal internally. If the server name is abc.ibm.com, then verify the server is accessible through myhost1.abc.ibm.com and myhost2.abc.ibm.com.

1. Log in to the WAS console and go to...
   Resources | Resource Environment | Resource Environment Providers | WP Virtual Web Application Manager Config | Custom properties | host_alias_mapping

2. Enter the aliases for the hosts in Values. For example, enter myhost1 = http://xyz1.abc.ibm.com, myhost2 = http://xyz2.abc.ibm.com.

3. Click OK.

4. Enable single sign-on. Set the Domain name field.

5. Restart the WebSphere_Portal server.
