Selecting and editing a web application

To select a web application

    This displays a list of existing web applications.

  1. Select your web application in the list.

    The selected web application is loaded and display under Manage your web portal environment.

To edit web application settings

NOTE: A web application must be selected.

  1. Click Edit web application settings.

    This opens Edit web application settings.

    NOTE: The URL field shows you the address where the web application can be found. This value cannot be edited and serves as a key for the matching set in the database.

  3. In the Authentication module menu, select the module the web application user will use for authentication in future.
  4. In the Try single sign-on, use the following module if single sign-on fails: menu, select a module.

    If the module selected under Authentication module supports single-sign-on, you have the option to specify an alternative authentication method here. This is used as a fall-back if single sign-on fails for any reason. For more information about One Identity Manager authentication modules, see the One Identity Manager Authorization and Authentication Guide.

  5. Click Debug.

    The debugging environment is enabled and you can use it. For more information, see Debugging.

    NOTE: Test your web application with this setting before you generate a web project compilation through Release.

To edit web application settings with an OAuth authentication module

NOTE: If you use OAuth authentication, you can enter an ID in the field provided. This automatically identifies the web application. This authentication ID is assigned in the OAuth system and must be added to the configuration in the Web Designer. If you do not use OAuth authentication, ignore this field.

  1. Follow the steps 1 to 3 described in the To edit web application settings step-by-step.
  2. Select one of the following modules in the Authentication module menu.
    1. OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect
    2. OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect (role-based)

    Enter values for your web application in the OAuth section of the Edit web application settings dialog. These fields are normally preset with values from global configuration parameters.

    The following values can be entered.

    Table 1: Values for using an authentication module
    Values Description
    Client ID for OAuth authentication

    If this is empty, the value from "QER | Person | OAuthenticator | ClientID | Web" is used.

    For example, "urn:IdentityManager/Web".

    Thumbprint for the OAuth certificate

    This is used to find the certificate in the certificate store. Either the thumb nail or the issuer of the certificate is required.

    For example, "7612FF79D99FCC56BEDDOC758412025B284DC327".

    Issuer information for the OAuth certificate

    This is used to find the certificate in the certificate store. Either the thumb nail or the issuer of the certificate is required.

    For example, "O=[company name], OU=[organizational unit], CN=[server IP]".

    Resource

    Is only required if the OAuth service needs this value.

    The value entered here is passed as a URL parameter "Resource" to the OAuth server.

    Certificate endpoint

    Supplies the URL from which to download the certificate. The certificate's thumbprint or issuer information is required for validating the downloaded certificate.

    For example, "https://certificateServer/certificate.crt".

The user interface layout

You can control the Web Designer graphical user interface with a mouse and key combinations. For optimal displaying of the graphical user interface, use a device with a minimum screen resolution of 1280 x 1024 pixels and at least 16-bit color depth.
