Configuring sub paths for Developer Portal sites

You can increase the specificity of a IBM® API Connect Developer Portal site URL by using sub paths.

By adding extra text to the URL of a Developer Portal site, you can create more site permutations for an organization. Developer Portal site URLs must be unique across all Catalogs.

Important:
  • Sub paths are case-sensitive.
  • The Developer Portal hostname must contain only lowercase characters.
You can create a Developer Portal in the following format: 
https://host_name.portal.com/sub_path_1/sub_path_2/.../sub_path_n
Where sub_path can be any text that you want to implement to specify your site URL. There is no limit to the number of sub paths that you can have for the first site that you want to create.
However, you must not create overlaps in the naming of your URLs. A URL of one site must not be able to be confused with pages belonging to another site. For example, if you create the following site URL: 
https://host_name.portal.com/bank/safe/dollar
Then, you cannot have the following site URL permutations:
https://host_name.portal.com/bank/safe
or 
https://host_name.portal.com/bank/safe/dollar/cent
However, you can lengthen or shorten a site URL if you change a single sub path value, or the host_name.portal.com value. For example, if you created the following site URL: 
https://host_name.portal.com/bank/safe/dollar
Then, you can create the following site URL permutations:
https://host_name.portal.com/bank/euro
and 
https://host_name.portal.com/bank/euro/vault/cent
Important: If you already have a site URL that ends in sub_path texts, you cannot create a new site URL with the sub path text at the start.
For example, if you create the following site URL:
https://host_name.portal.com/bank
then, you cannot create the following site URL: 
https://bank.host_name.portal.com
