Configure the Public Web URL
If your vCloud Director installation includes multiple cloud cells running behind a load balancer or NAT, or
if the cloud cells do not have publicly-routable IP addresses, you can set a public web URL.
During the initial configuration of each cloud cell, you specified an HTTP service IP address. By default, vCloud
Director uses that address to construct the organization URL that organization users access to log in to the
system. To use a different address, specify a public web URL.
Procedure
1 Click the Administration tab and click Public Addresses in the left pane.
