7.0 Appmarks

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 configure MobileAccess. For more information, see Section 8.2, Configuring the MobileAccess App.

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, users must refresh the application page on the mobile device to see the appmark.

Access Manager Appliance provides connectors for the different applications that you import and configure to provide a single sign-on experience for the users. When you import and configure a connector, Access Manager Appliance automatically creates an appmark for the connector. You can manage and configure the connectors in the Applications page of Administration Console and manage and configure appmarks through the Appmarks page. For more information, see the Access Manager Appliance 4.5 Applications Configuration Guide.
