11.2. Setting Up the Dashboard Service

Making some applications universally available ensures that all users have the same basic applications. However, some of your applications should be protected from the majority of your users. You will need to single out which users will include the application on their Dashboard.

There are three default applications in the Dashboard service: Google, SalesForce, and ZenDesk.

Procedure 11.1. To Add Applications from the Dashboard

You can add applications to the Dashboard service with the following steps. All fields except the Dashboard Class name and ICF Identifier are required for the application to work properly from the Dashboard.

  1. Login to the OpenAM console as OpenAM Administrator, amadmin.

  2. On the Configuration tab > Global > Dashboard click New to add a new application to the Dashboard service and to provide the information needed to connect to the app.

  3. Provide a unique name for the application.

  4. Add a Dashboard Class Name that identifies how the end user will access the app, such as SAML2ApplicationClass for a SAML 2.0 application.

  5. Add a Dashboard Name for the application.

  6. Add a Dashboard Display Name. This name is what the end user will see, such as Google.

  7. Add the Dashboard Icon you would like the end user to see for the application. Either use a fully-qualified URL or an appropriate relative URL so that the icon is rendered properly on the user Dashboard.

  8. Add the Dashboard Login URL to point to the location the end user will go to once they click on the icon.

  9. Leave the ICF Identifier blank.

  10. Click Add when you are done.
