Configure External Tab

Configure this tab for tasks that access an application other than Identity Manager.

• Name--A name you assign to the tab.
• Tag--An identifier for the tab that is unique within this task. It must start with a letter or underscore and contain letters, numbers, or underscores only. The tag is mainly used for setting data values through XML documents or HTTP parameters.
• Hide Tab--Prevents the tab from being visible in the task. This option is useful for applications that need to hide the tab, but still have access to attributes on the tab.
• External URL--Identifies an application other than Identity Manager. In this field, enter the address of the application using one of the following options:
  • The complete address of the application, including the fully qualified domain name--for example:

    http://server1.mycompany.org/report/viewUserReport

  • The relative path for the application--for example:

    /report/viewUserReport

  If you specify the relative path, Identity Manager automatically appends the fully qualified domain name of the server where Identity Manager is installed.

• Attribute--Controls which attributes are passed to the application.

  Note: If the task has a primary object, the Attribute option list appears.
