I tried setting up a site in IIS pointing to the /umbraco subdirectory but that does not work. In my case I have the following scenario.
The website does not need a secure (ssl / https) connection but I want to have secured access for the umbraco backend login page.
Idealy this would point directly to the umbraco login page.
I tried setting up a second website in IIS and pointed that to the same directory as my first doamin. But as soon as I set up Rewrite rules, IIS writes it to the web.config and therefore it conflicts with the other domain.
Using a sub domain to access the admin area
Hi all,
This is more of a curiosity question rather than a problem - is is possible to have the admin area on a sub-domain of my Umbraco website?
For example, rather than using
www.mysite.com/umbracoI would be able to use
www.umbraco.mysite.com?I wouldn't really know where to start with this, so any feedback would be appreciated!
Hi Phil
From the top of my head I'm thinking it might be worth trying to simply add the domain as a website in the IIS and point it to the /umbraco folder.
Does that work? Then you could perhaps make a redirect to this site if people try to access the login page at mysite.com/umbraco ?
Not sure it will work but it would be simple to try out.

My Website would be:
I have a wildcard certificate for a domain that I would like to use for several logins in form of subdomains.
My login should be:
Idealy this would point directly to the umbraco login page.

Any idea how I could solve that problem?
Hi Edgar,
This has been answered on this thread:

If you're having specific issues you should probably start a new topic.
Hope that helps
