As of WorkflowGen 7.22.0, you should configure your WorkflowGen root website (e.g. `https://server`) to auto-redirect to the `https://server/wfgen` web app. (You can also do this for earlier versions of WorkflowGen.)

> **Note:** As of WorkflowGen 7.15.0, the PowerShell setup comes with this configuration pre-installed on your WorkflowGen server. This procedure is applicable only when upgrading an existing previous WorkflowGen server.

To do this:

1. Make sure the [URL Rewrite](https://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/url-rewrite) tool is already installed on your WorkflowGen server.

2. Create or update the `web.config` under your website’s root folder (e.g. `DRIVE:\inetpub\wwwroot\web.config`).

3. Define the rewrite rule node as shown below (`configuration` / `system.webServer` / `<rewrite>` / `<rules>` / `<rule>`):
