Specifying alternate website addresses
If Contribute users will visit a website using a different host name, different directory path, or
different port number, you must configure Contribute to recognize these alternate web addresses
and associate them with the appropriate website connection.
Note: For more information about alternate web addresses, see “Alternate website addresses”
on page 167.
If you dont configure Contribute in this way, users may try to connect to a website by using a
different web address from the one defined in Contribute, which may cause inconsistent or
unpredictable behavior when editing or publishing web pages.
