Are there ways to make route or rewrite a domain name to 1 given IWP database?

I've attached two examples of custom login forms that will specify a database to be logging into, with and without a guest login option.  I *think* you can also do this via a URL, embedding the login information, using the same parameters as in the form.  This is going back quite a ways now and my memory isn't 100% on all of it.

Note you can also use javascript redirects in the iwp resources pages (login + logout) to rewrite the login and logout page URLs based on the (sub)domain being used to access, to avoid the default pages.

Right now I'm doing a rewrite in Apache, however I assume there are ways to proxy a file using nginx.

Your example is quite nice, it can make a custom looking login page. Perhaps that is more purposeful for some cases.

My bad I forget that the current iteration of IWP is named webd: https://fmhelp.filemaker.com/docs/16/en/fmwd/index.html#accessing_linking

   server {
        server_name sub.domain.tld;

      location / {
        proxy_pass http://10.0.0.10:8080;
        proxy_set_header        Host            $host;
        proxy_set_header        X-Real-IP       $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header        X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
      }
    }

Above works great for FileMaker 16 Server through nginx as reverse proxy. What I would like to be able to is to stimagtize what has to be mentioned after sub.domain.tld so that this part "/fmi/webd/sub" from here: 10.0.0.10:8080/fmi/webd/sub would no longer be optional.

You might want to start this thread over in the WebDirect forum. IWP is very different.
