SharePoint creates alternate access Mapping (AAM) Alternate access mappings

SharePoint creates a alternate access Mapping (AAM) alternate access map for a SharePoint warehouse that is a content database in SQL Server. These databases store all of the organization's data. Organizations may require people outside the company to have access to a subset of this data.         For example, vendors may want to know if their invoices are being honoured. Another example is that in large enterprises, hourly workers may see different subsets of data from official employees.        This data is in the same content database. Appropriate schema classification and validation can provide two different URLs.        The end user enters the appropriate URL and is taken to the content associated with the URL. This is the meaning of AAMs. This article teaches you how to create a AAM and related knowledge. Prepare: Make sure you are an administrator. You must already have a Web application. Start: 1. Open Central Administration-system settings. 2. In the Farm Management section, select Configure alternate access mappings.
3. A list of AAMs associated with the Web application is rendered.
4. Click Add Internal URLs.
5. Enter the data. 6. Click Save. The updated AAMs is visible. 7. Set up DNS to correctly reference the URL you just entered. How it works: When the URL is entered, IIS passes the page request to SharePoint. Satisfying these requests is what SharePoint is doing. SharePoint check AAM determines which Web application to map the request to.
