How to Create a Site without Site Identifier in Bold BI

To differentiate the sites on the same domain in Bold BI, we utilize a site identifier. If you wish to disable the site identifier, you can do so by changing the configuration value of usesiteidentifier to false in the Bold BI Configuration.

Steps to Disable Site Identifier during Application Startup:

Windows

1. After installing the build, open the config.xml file located at “{installed location}\BoldServices\app_data\configuration\config.xml”.

2. Modify the value of the UseSiteIdentifier node to false and save the changes.
   

   

3. After making the changes, restart the application in IIS and browse.

4. Now you can create a site without the site identifier.

Docker, Kubernetes, and Linux

To disable the site identifier during application startup, set the value of the environmental variable BOLD_SERVICES_USE_SITE_IDENTIFIER to false in the auto deployment variables.
