The External Tab

An external tab can be added to any Create, View, or Modify task to make it an external task. For example, if you add an External tab to a Create User task, the tab appears on that task.

For an External tab:

• No events are generated for an external task.
• You can optionally use managed objects.
• 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 IdentityMinder automatically appends the fully qualified domain name of the server where CA IdentityMinder is installed.

• You configure the attributes to pass to the application on the Profile tab.
