Appmarks function like bookmarks in browsers. As with bookmarks, if the resource for the appmark changes, you must change the appmark to match the modified source. For example, you have an appmark for a protected resource and the protected resource changes, you must edit your appmark and select the modified protected resource again to receive the changes.
You can configure one or more appmarks for a resource. However, that appmark is specific to a single IDP cluster. You can also configure appmarks for users to use with only a browser. If you want users to use the mobile apps, you must first configure MobileAccess. For more information, see Section 7.3, Configuring MobileAccess.
When you configure an appmark, you specify whether you want the application to launch in a desktop browser or on a supported mobile device, or both. If you configure a single appmark to display in both a desktop browser and on a mobile device, the appmark will have the same name, but you can customize the icons so they are different. Appmarks offer significant flexibility, enabling you to customize your users’ experience using different view options and variables.
When you configure a new appmark to display on a mobile device, the user must do a refresh on the application page on the mobile device before the appmark appears.
To create an appmark:
Log in as an administrator to Administration Console.
In Administration Console Dashboard under Administration Tasks, click Appmarks.
(Conditional) If you have not already configured an Access Manager resource, create a resource, such as a service provider or a protected resource.
In the Cluster field, select the appropriate IDP cluster that hosts the protected resource.
If you have only one IDP cluster, Administration Console automatically selects that IDP cluster.
Click the plus sign (+) to create an appmark.
Create a new appmark using the information located in, Section 7.2.2, Understanding Appmarks Options.
Click Save.
Repeat this process for each appmark you want to create. In order for the mobile appmark to work, you must configure MobileAccess. For more information, see Section 7.3, Configuring MobileAccess.
