redirect from MySite to http://intranet

Question

Hi,

I have disabled my site feature by un-checking the “Create Personal Site" in SSP.

But, now the users who all bookmarked or saved the link are able to access their MYSITES.

I want them to redirect to http://intranet page instead of their MYSITES.

When a user enter their MYSITE URL it should redirect them to http://intranet

Please help; If possible please help me with a source code.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Could you get your dns people to add in a redirect? Or install a custom redirector on the server?

The way you have it set now, people won't be able to create new mysites, but people that already have them still can use them.

Answer 2

You can write a HttpModule and achieve the redirection, put the HttpModule in the MySite web Application.
Lot of reference are available in net, just bing for HttpModule.

note that sharepoint runtime still forwards the request to the non-exists page when the user clicks MYSITE link that point to a user which has profile.
