This guide shows web developers how to view One Identity Manager HTML applications as code and how to understand their internal functionality. For that purpose, One Identity provides you with an extension for Visual Studio Code.
The online version of One Identity Manager documentation is available in the Support portal under Technical Documentation. You will find videos with additional information at www.YouTube.com/OneIdentity.
One Identity Manager manages a folder structure that contains the source files for all HTML applications. In the data model, this folder structure is stored as part of automatic software updates and it is assigned the machine role HTML Development.
You can store this folder structure locally in a development folder. In the development folder, the folders for database modules are stored at the top level. Below that you will find a folder for each HTML application. See section Creating a development folder to find out how to create a development folder.
The HTML applications are structured as nodeJS applications that use the Angular framework. Generally, any HTML applications that can be compiled as nodeJS applications are supported.
HTML applications use the API Client to communicate with the One Identity Manager API. API Client is an npm library that is automatically generated and stored to the database during API compilation. API Client controls all network access on the API Server.
Much of the logic for HTML applications is realized by plugins that can be used independently of a specific HTML application. You can also use this logic for your own applications.
In this section, you will find information on how to deal with the One Identity Visual Studio Code extension.
You can use the Visual Studio Code extension to launch the ImxClient command line program directly in Visual Studio Code without any in-depth knowledge of the syntax:
Connect to the database
Create the development folder
Manage and use compilation branches
Update HTML applications with the same setup
Compile a HTML application
Update the base libraries (API Client)
Check for missing translations
The Visual Studio Code extension also provides you with the following helpful information:
