What is Managed Path ?
By default, every WebApp comes with a wildcard managed path
called "sites".
Why to create Managed Path ?
To have a specific URL other than /site we would have to create a Managed
Path.
When we create a Managed Path,
we have two options: Explicit Inclusion
Wildcard Inclusion
Explicit inclusion :
When we are not planning to create further site collections
under a specified managed path, then we use this option.
Explicit Inclusion Managed paths allows in creation of only one site collection at the
exact given URL.
Example : http://myserver:7676/IT
Wildcard
Inclusion :
When we want to create more than one site collection under a
specific managed path, we use this option. Wildcard Inclusion Managed Paths allow unlimited site collection to be
created under a given URL.
Example: http://myserver:7676/TataGroup
http://myserver:7676/TataGroup/TCS
https://myserver:7676/TataGroup/BPO
https://myserver:7676/TataGroup/TataMotors
Adding Managed
Path
1) Go to Central Admin->Manage Web Application ->Select
the desired Web Application -> Select Managed Path from Ribbon
2) In add a new Path textbox enter ->
\IT
Select Explicit Inclusion
– Click on Add Path
3) In add a new Path textbox enter -> \tatagroup
Select Wildcard Inclusion
– Click on Add Path
Image shows how to add a Explicit inclusion Managed Path
How this works :
Wildcard inclusion: What happens when I try to create a site collection
After the managed path term”tatagroup” we created,I add a
name corresponding to my subsite.I can keep creating as many site collections I
want.
E Explicit
inclusion
When I try to create a site collection with the managed path ”it”
there is no textbox which indicates that I can have only 1 site collection and
no further site collections can be created a with the managed path”it”
