Host Name Selector

Purpose

The Host Name Selector permits specific path handling based on the specified host names.

For more information regarding adding and editing Preconditions, see Editing Preconditions.

Recommendations for use

Use the Host Name Selector if you’ve defined an application with several hosts, and want to handle certain parts of your web application differently, depending on the individual host.

For example, you could allow access for a path /admin only for www.company.com, but not for www.company.biz.
