Rename RDWeb and WebClient website

Question

Hi,

On the RD Web Access server, Is it possible to rename the RDWeb website under the Default Web Site and the webclient for HTML5 Web Client?

For example: change from "www.MyDomain.com/RDWeb/webclient" to "www.MyDomain.com/Cloud/ERP"
I want to keep the URL in the browser like www.MyDomain.com/Cloud/ERP not just redirection to the default URLs.

What I've already tried:

Method 1:

• C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe set app "Default Web Site/RDWeb" -path:/Cloud
• C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe set vdir "Default Web Site/Cloud/WebClient" -path:/ERP

Method 2:
Renamed the folder "C:\Windows\Web\RDWeb\" to "C:\Windows\Web\Cloud\"

• Replace "RDWeb" to "Cloud" and "WebClient" to "ERP" in
  ○ C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config
  ○ C:\Windows\Web\Cloud\Web.config
  ○ C:\Program Files\RemoteDesktopWeb\Internal\Clients\tqlv2tws.il2\content*

Method 3:
Using IIS Rewrite Module

I always got "The page isn’t redirecting properly" Status 302

Thanks in advance

What url rewrite rule are you using? May be you can try the following rule:

<rule name="test" stopProcessing="true">  
  <match url="^RDWeb/webclient$" />  
    <conditions>  
      <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" negate="true" pattern="^MyDomain.com$" />  
    </conditions>  
  <action type="Redirect" url="Cloud/ERP" redirectType="Permanent" />  
</rule>

The only missing part is I want to keep the url in the browser as https://win2022-vps.dc.local/Cloud/ERP

A rewrite doesn't change the URL in the browser, if you rewrite https://win2022-vps.dc.local/Cloud/ERP, it shouldn't change the url.

URL Rewrite vs. Redirect; What’s the difference?
