Configure External Tab

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

Name

A name you assign to the tab.

Tag

An identifier that is unique within the task. It can contain ASCII characters (a-z, A-Z), numbers (0-9), or underscore characters, beginning with a letter or underscore. The tag is 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 CA 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, CA Identity Manager automatically appends the fully qualified domain name of the server where CA 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.
