Do you need to provide different user groups with different sets of preselected applications? The SAP NetWeaver Administrator enables you to configure different Java start pages for different user groups with their specific tasks preselected, providing them with the applications they need.
This blog explains how. Just follow the steps below.
Most of you are familiar with the Java start page for SAP NetWeaver:

Here is how you can replace this entry page with your own defined Java start page.
Virtual hosting is a concept that is commonly employed by Web servers and refers to the option of using multiple virtual hosts within a Web server, each responding to different URL. These are name-based virtual hosts. This means that each host name is mapped to a single real IP address of the server or the cluster of servers.
You can do this mapping using your Domain Name System Server (DNS).
Prerequisites
You must have configured the HTTP Provider Service listening port, so that the dispatcher is able to receive client requests. For more information about this, see Setting up HTTP Provider Service to Accept Incoming Requests in the SAP Library for J2EE Engine.
Select the virtual host name you want to clone from the table in the “Virtual Hosts” frame, for example
“PMNVirtual”.
To create a new virtual host with the same settings as the selected host, choose Copy.

The Create Dialog screen appears. Specify the name of the new virtual host.
Choose OK.
Effect:
The new virtual host is created in the same system as the original virtual host.
You have the following options:
In our example, we want to have a particular start page for the accounting users and to deactivate an application alias. Choose your new virtual host, here “Accounting”, and go to its details.
The “General” tab provides general properties information such as:
Specify the path (relative to the document root of the virtual host) to the HTML file that you want to use as a start page.

Use virtual hosting to:
- Run multiple virtual hosts acting as different Web servers on a single real IP address
- Gain flexibility by providing different configuration settings for each of the virtual hosts
Virtual hosting is a concept that is commonly employed by Web servers and refers to the option of using multiple virtual hosts within a Web server, each responding to different URL. These are name-based virtual hosts. This means that each host name is mapped to a single real IP address of the server or the cluster of servers.

Prerequisites
You must have configured the HTTP Provider Service listening port, so that the dispatcher is able to receive client requests. For more information about this, see Setting up HTTP Provider Service to Accept Incoming Requests in the SAP Library for J2EE Engine.
Using the SAP NetWeaver Administrator, you can create new virtual hosts and configure existing hosts for all registered systems.
Second Option: Cloning an Existing Virtual Host
Select the virtual host name you want to clone from the table in the “Virtual Hosts” frame, for example
“PMNVirtual”.
To create a new virtual host with the same settings as the selected host, choose Copy.

Choose OK.

The new virtual host is created in the same system as the original virtual host.
2. Now you can adjust the detail settings to your special requirements.
You have the following options:
- Configure the general properties
- Define HTTP aliases on a virtual host
- Activate and deactivate application aliases
In our example, we want to have a particular start page for the accounting users and to deactivate an application alias. Choose your new virtual host, here “Accounting”, and go to its details.
The “General” tab provides general properties information such as:
- Configure the document root of the host as well as the start page that is displayed to the client if the document root of this host is requested.
- Enable/disable logging of requests and responses to/from this host.
- Enable/disable the use of persistent HTTP connections.
- Manage the virtual host’s cache.
- Allow/disallow the virtual host to list the content of the requested directory.
Configure the start page:
Specify the path (relative to the document root of the virtual host) to the HTML file that you want to use as a start page.
