5.2 Configuring an Appmark for the Desktop Browser or Mobile Device

After you have configured a connector for a proxy, SaaS, or SSO application, you can configure an appmark to simplify access to that application from the user’s landing page or from a mobile device, or both.

To configure an appmark:

  1. Log in with an appliance administrator account to the Admin page at

    https://appliance_dns_name/appliance/index.html
    
  2. (Conditional) If you have not already configured the connector for the application, drag it from the Applications palette to the Applications panel.

  3. Click the configured connector on the Applications panel and click Configure.

  4. (Conditional) If you have not already configured the connector, provide the appropriate information on the Configuration tab. The required information varies depending on the connector.

  5. Click the Appmarks tab.

  6. Click the plus (+) sign next to the default created appmark.

  7. (Conditional) Select the Public check box if you want the appmark to appear for all users, regardless of their entitlement to the application.

  8. (Conditional) If you want the appmark to be available on the user’s landing page, select the Desktop browser check box and complete the following steps:

    1. (Conditional) If it is applicable to the connector, select the appropriate option from the Initiate login at list.

    2. Leave the default value in the URL field.

    3. (Optional) If you want to provide your own icon for the appmark, click the X on the Icon line to delete the default icon. Then browse to and select a .png file to represent the application on the browser’s landing page.

  9. (Conditional) If you want the appmark to be available on the user’s mobile device, select the iOS devices or Android devices check box and complete the following steps.

    1. Select an option from the Launch with list to specify how you want users to access the application on their mobile device. For more information about the available options, see Section 5.1, Understanding Appmarks.

    2. (Optional) If you want to provide your own icon for the appmark, click the X on the Icon line to delete the default icon. Then browse to and select a .png file to represent the application on the mobile device. You can use different icons for the landing page and mobile devices.

  10. Click OK, then click Apply.

The appliance reconfigures with the new change. After this process has completed, users who enter the appliance URL are redirected to a login page. They enter their user name and password and are presented with a landing page containing the appmark icon that links to the application.
