Identity applications lets you to deep link to a specific process request (also known as a provisioning request). This feature gives a manager the ability to send a specific process request URL to an employee, so this employee can request the process quickly without having to go through the Identity Manager Dashboard. When you deep link to a process request, the request form is displayed in the body of the page, along with the header for the Identity Applications.
Once a permission is requested, the request appears in the Access > Request History page of the requester and also appears on the Tasks page of the reviewer.
The URL used for deep linking to a process request takes this form:
http://<server:port>/IDMProv/makeRequestDetail.do?requestId=<PRD ID>&requestType=<requesttype>
Here’s an example that shows what the URL one might use to deep link to a provisioning request definition:
http://testserver:8080/IDMProv/makeRequestDetail.do?requestId=cn=EmailChange,cn=RequestDefs,cn=AppConfig,cn=PicassoDriver,cn=TestDrivers,o=novell&requestType=PROV
NOTE:This feature is not supported in Identity Manager 4.7.1 and 4.7.2 versions. However, you can add applications to the Applications page by following the instructions from Creating Featured Items.
