Admin Tasks › External Tasks for Application Functions › The External URL Tab

The External URL Tab

You can add an external URL tab to a view task, such as View User. When you use the View User task, you are redirected to the web site identified by the URL. No other tabs are visible.

For an External URL tab:

• The external URL tab must be the only tab in the task. If there are other tabs associated with the same task, the external tab will not redirect users to the specified URL.
• The task can generate events which can be audited.
• In the External URL field, you can specify the address of the application as:
  • A complete address, including the fully qualified domain name--for example:

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

  • A relative path--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.

• You can optionally use managed objects.
• You can configure attributes to pass to the URL.

  Supply a URL for the application that you want to start and include the attributes that you want to pass to the application.

• You can include or exclude the admin DN or task name in the URL.
