# URL Mappings for webapps - User Guide

This page contains the information on how to access your hosted web application through a ecific domain. In App server, the web application of admin can be accessible through http://localhost:port/webappname and web application of tenant can be accessible through http://localhost:port/webapps/t/tenant_domain/webappname.

Instead of going through this long URL process, we provide a way to access your hosted web application with a short URL like https://appid.localhost:port/ in standalone products. If your App Server is fronted with load balancher, then https://appid.localhost can be used.

Eventually, your shorten URL will be mapped as below.

            http://localhost:port/webapps/t/tenant_domain/webappname ==> https://appid.localhost:port

Once you created URL mapping of a web application, let's take the mapping name as "exampleapp", then your domain will be "exampleapp.localhost" where the suffix "localhost" comes from CARBON_HOME/repository/conf/etc/url-mapping-config.xml. You can configure your own suffix and URL mappings limit per web application in the configuration file above. By default suffix is "localhost" and URL mappings limit is one.

The following image depicts how your web application could accessed through your own domain in a browser.

You have to create a cname to access your own domain. In case cname is not available with you at the moment, you can use /etc/hosts to put your domain entries by pointing to your local ip which can only be applicable for testing purposes.
