Managing External Applications

An external application is another application that contains resources that do not belong to the current application. From SecureApp, in addition to the resources in the current application, you can connect to resources in an external application.

You can do these tasks without even exiting the current application view:

  • View the external applications and servers
  • Add the external application's servers to the current application's connections
  • Create a new application
  • Create a new server or new server group in the external applications

    To let users create connections that use servers from other applications in both the source and destination, the administrator must enable this permission in Settings > SecureApp Settings: Allow users to create connections with external resources in both source and destination

To manage external applications:

  1. In Resources, click Applications.
  2. Next to an application's name, click to view the servers and server groups included in the application.
  3. Drag and drop the server/server groups to a connection's source or destination.
  4. To create a new application:
    1. Click and select New Application.
    2. Enter the Name, and select an Owner.
    3. Optionally, you can enter a Description and Select editors.
    4. Click Save.
  5. To add a new server or new server group to another application:
    1. Select the application.
    2. Click and select New server or New server group.
    3. Enter the details and click Save.
