Managed Path, Wildcard and Explicit Inclusion


  • A managed path is a location within a web application in which you can have site collections. When a web application is created, there are two managed paths that were created with it.

 

  • Two managed paths are: explicit inclusion managed path and wildcard inclusion managed path.

 

  • An explicit inclusion managed path defines an exact path to which a site collection can be directly attached. The first managed path is called the “/” path, or root. The “/” path is an explicit inclusion managed path.

 

  • You can always have multiple sites in the site collection, but you can only have one site collection in the explicit managed path.

 

  • A wildcard inclusion managed path defines a path that cannot have a site collection attached at its root but can have multiple site collections assigned beneath it. The second managed path is called “sites,” or a wildcard inclusion path.

 

  • There is a wildcard inclusion managed path that is added by default to a web application. “Sites” is a wildcard managed path, thus it can have multiple site collections underneath that path, but no site collections are added to the path.

 

  • The Wildcard inclusion type includes all paths that are subordinate to the specified path. The Explicit inclusion type includes only the site that is indicated by the specified path. Sites subordinate to the indicated by the specified path. Sites subordinate to the specified path are not included.

 

  • Since each of the site collections for a client would go in the “clients” managed path, the clients are set up as a wildcard path. And since it’s a wildcard path, then there can be no site collection at the root of site “/” path.
