Access Manager uses the following two JSP files to control impersonation functions. You can load these files as stand-alone web pages, or into an iFrame on an existing web page.
Table 29-1 Impersonation JSP Files
File name |
Location |
Description |
---|---|---|
impersonator |
https://NIDP-hostname:port/nidp/jsp/ |
The impersonator.jsp file controls all impersonator actions, including sending a help desk session request to the impersonatee, seeing the status of a help desk session request that has already been sent, canceling a help desk session request, and ending a current help desk session. |
impersonatee |
https://NIDP-hostname:port/nidp/jsp/ |
The imperonatee.jsp controls all impersonatee actions, including seeing a help session request from the impersonator, approving or denying the request, and seeing whether a previously approved request is active. |
If you have built a custom user portal for your users, ensure to make an additional change in impersonator.jsp. The file is located in /opt/novell/nids/lib/webapp/jsp/. Make a change to the default login page, line 218:
window.parent.location = "/nidp/portal";
You need to make the change based on whether the custom user portal loads as an iFrame or as a stand-alone web page.
iFrame: Change "/nidp/portal" to be the full URL of the page that loads when an active impersonation session starts. For example,
window.parent.local="URL of the page that loads after an active impersonation session starts"
Stand-alone web page: Change the line to:
window.location="URL of the page that loads after an active impersonation session starts"
