Configuring multiple web dock applications on a page | HCL Digital Experience
You can have multiple web dock applications that point to different hosts on the same portal page. You can also allow users to open two different portal pages that contain web dock applications in a new browser window or tab.
About this task
Restriction: If you complete these steps, the inter-portlet communication feature is
disabled.
Important: This alias is prefixed to the server name used to access the portal. It is
then used to access the portal internally. If the server name is
servername.domain.hcl.com, then make sure that the server is accessible through
myhost1.servername.domain.hcl.com and
myhost2.servername.domain.hcl.com. If portal is accessed with
the https scheme, make sure that valid SSL certificates for host
myhost1.servername.domain.hcl.com and
myhost2.servername.domain.hcl.com are installed. To install the SSL
certificates, log in to the WebSphere® Integrated Solutions Console. Then, go to . For information, read Personal certificates collection. If the certificates are not
available for these hosts, then you must accept the security exception in the browser. Open the web
dock iFrame URL in a separate browser window. Then, refresh the portal page to make it work and
render the integrated application. Otherwise, the application might not work.
