Author Resolving the lack of "map channel" option in CMS SE

Greetings,
I encountered the nasty shortcoming of there being no "Map Channel Names to
Host Headers" option in the Standard Edition of CMS. To work around this, I
found ISAPI_REWRITE to be a very handy tool.

Download it here:
http://www.isapirewrite.com

In your httpd.ini file, put the following commands in (based upon their
samples):

RewriteCond Host: (.*)
RewriteRule ([^.?]+[^.?/]) http\://$1$2/ [I,R]

RewriteCond Host: (?:subdomain\.)?domain\.extension
RewriteRule /workingChannel(.*) http\://subdomain.domain.extension$1 [I,R]
RewriteRule (.*) /workingChannel$1 [I,L]

This will essentially emulate the functionality of the enterprise edition
function.

I would be curious about ways to improve this method.

Hi Kevin,

I thought of this a wihle ago but never implemented it. It looks sound!

If only we could fake the 15 users in non subscriber roles

Regards

Hi Kevin,

how will this rule work with URLs going to the /NR folder for resource
galleries and during authoring?
I cannot see an exception for these condidions.

Cheers,
Stefan.
