Viewing default subdomain settings
Subdomains are configured with the settings and capabilities defined in the Subdomain Default form. All subdomains assume the values specified in this form, unless you choose to change the subdomain settings selectively.
To view the default settings for a subdomain:
In the shortcuts area of the Home page, click Subdomains (Web Server section). The Subdomain window, displaying the list of subdomains.
In the Subdomain submenu, click Defaults. The Subdomain Defaults form.
The following is a tabulated list of the form fields and a brief description.
