Changing the jiveURL

If your Jive community is deployed on-premise (and not hosted by Jive Software), you can change the jiveURL, which is the Web address of your community. To change the jiveURL, go to Admin Console: System > Management > System Properties and edit the property jiveURL. (If you want to know how to change the root context of your community, be sure to read Changing the Root Context (optional).

Next, be sure to update the following components with the new URL.
CAUTION:
If you change the jiveURL system property from https to http temporarily for the purpose of doing an upgrade, you will need to also change the value of the system property jive.auth.forceSecure to false. This system property causes a redirect of all incoming requests to https.
Note: This list may not include all relevant considerations for your specific deployment configuration.
Component: How to update with the new jiveURL:
Web Application Nodes Change the jiveURL system property (Admin Console: System > Management > System Properties). Then, as the jive user, set the following:
  • jive set webapp.http_proxy_name <newdomainname>
  • jive set webapp.http_proxy_port 443
  • jive set webapp.http_proxy_scheme https
SSO Update the base metadata URL by going to Admin Console: People > Settings > Single Sign On > SAML > Advanced, or by editing the system property saml.baseURL (Admin Console: System > Management > System Properties). In addition, update the Location attribute in the metadata itself. After you have made these changes, you'll need to restart the server.
Mobile We strongly recommend that your Mobile Gateway Access URL matches the jiveURL (this is not required, however). If you change the jiveURL, update the Gateway Access URL to reflect the change (Admin Console: Mobile > Native Apps > Gateway Access URL).
SSL/Tomcat Update the new URL in the server.xml file for the Tomcat connector.
Apache Ensure that any redirects you have configured previously are reconfigured to point to the new URL.
Jive for Office and Outlook plugins Ensure that the account configured in the Jive for Office/Outlook plugin contains the new URL (even if the change was due to adding SSL support).
Emoticons Update the URL setting for the emoticon post-processing filter (Admin Console: Spaces > Settings > Filters and Macros > Emoticon Filter > Settings).
