Hi Daniel

To use autojoin, I think all you should need to do is create an alias 
that points to the site you want to use autojoin for, e.g.

alias            target
-----            ------
mysitejoincode   /portal/site/e83aaf17-a228-428e-02d5-7b574643caad

then use the url pattern:

http://<server-url>/join/mysitejoincode

Try that and see how you get on.



All the best
