How to redirect old URLs to new domain

We would like to change our Adobe Connect domain from http://breeze.uhv.edu (domain created when it was Macromedia Breeze) to the more-generic http://meetonline.uhv.edu and enable SSL at the same time. Our sys admin was able to do this on our Adobe Connect test server successfully (running AC 9.1.1) (https://meetonlinetest.uhv.edu). However, he is telling me that we cannot redirect all of the old URLs to the new domain. In other words, wherever we have a link to a meeting room or recording or other content, e.g., in a document, email or online course, we will have to manually change the link to reflect the new domain in the address, otherwise when users click the link, they will get a page not found error. WHAT? Surely, there is a way in Adobe Connect to redirect the old URL to the new URL.

I am not the sys admin, so please point me to instructions that I can forward to the sys admin/network services people.

I appreciate any help you can provide. Thanks!

Re: How to redirect old URLs to new domain

If you need to then update the server and change DNS bindings.

Currently you have (example):
breeze.uhv.edu ---> public IP A
meetingbreeze.uhv.edu ---> public IP B

Change to:
meetonlinetest.uhv.edu ---> public IP A
meetonlinetest2.uhv.edu ---> public IP B

Make sure you either have a wildcard cert or individual certs for the new domain to secure it.

Change the AC administration console to match the new domain name, power cycle the services and you should be good to go.

You can also look into mod_rewrite for something more advanced.

Thanks,
Max
