Hi there,

I am trying to redirect calls to the Umbraco backend to a domain that is different to the page domain.

The following functionality should take place:

All requests to

customerDomain.com/umbraco

(containing /umbraco in the querystring) should be forwarded to this subdomain:

customerDomain.serviceDomain.com/umbraco

Ideally remaining the whole querystring ({R:1}).

I have tried to solve this in the IIS rewrite module. The problem is, that the rules just don't work even though I tested them successfully in the IIS rewrite module:

So far I have tested 2 rules:

            <rule name="CanonicalHostNameRule1" stopProcessing="true">
                <match url="(.*)" />
                <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
                    <add input="{QUERY_STRING}" pattern="/umbraco*" />
                    <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="customerDomain\.com" />
                </conditions>
                <action type="Redirect" url="http://customerDomain.serviceDomain.com/{R:1}" redirectType="Temporary" />
            </rule>

.

           <rule name="code4itUmbraco" stopProcessing="true">
                <match url="/umbraco/*" />
                <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAny" trackAllCaptures="false">
                    <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="customerDomain\.com" />
                </conditions>
                <action type="Redirect" url="https://customerDomain.serviceDomain.com/" redirectType="Temporary" />
            </rule>

In general it would be interesting to know, whether Umbraco is interfearing or if the IIS is the first hit before Umbraco logic starts.

Also, is it possible to solve this task only within Umbraco and without the use of the IIS URL rewrite module?

Thanks a lot for any comments or hints
