Removing /web/guest from the URL no longer requires a virtual host. The /web/guest part of the URL can now be removed from the URL using using a new portal property:

#

1. Specify the community name that will default to the company's virtual
2. host. If the specified community has a virtual host, then that will take
3. precedence. If it does not, then it will use the company's virtual host.
4. This property is useful to remove "/web/guest" (or any other community)
5. from the default URL. For example, if this property is not set, then the
6. default URL may be http://localhost:8080/web/guest/home. If this property
7. is set, then the default URL may be http://localhost:8080/home.

   virtual.hosts.default.community.name=

To enable this feature, add the following to portal-ext.properties:

virtual.hosts.default.community.name=Guest
