Managing Application Connections
Application connectivity includes each network connection that the application needs. To build the connectivity requirements for the application, you add connections and then add resources to the source, service and destination of the connections.

If you have a large number of connections, you can configure how many connections are shown on each page. You can enter the page to go to or click Next or Prev to navigate the connections pages.
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
What can I do on this page?
-
Create a connection, an application interface, or a connection to application
-
Edit the connection - Add resources manually or with connection discovery, remove resources from the connection, or change the list of members in a group that is used in the connection.
In the connection, click
for these actions:- Edit connection name and comment - Select Properties to edit the name or comment of the connection.
- Duplicate connection
- Repair connection
- Delete connection - Remove the connection and its details from the application
-
Check connection compliance - Verify if the connection is compliant with organizational security policies, based on the SecureTrack Unified Security Policy. (Requires View security compliance violation permission)
-
Sort the connections - You can sort the connections by these criteria: Name, Date created, Date modified, Status, Tickets, Application, Discovered (Discovery status), Comments. To sort the connections, select from the Sort by dropdown box and click on the ascending or descending arrow.
-
Search in the connections - You can enter one or more application connection search terms (not case-sensitive) to show only the matching connections, external connections, application interface, connections within an application interface, and connections to applications.
-
Review the connection status - See if the connection is connected
or blocked 
. This requires View connection status permission. Click on the status to see a detailed analysis of the routing and firewall rules that impact the connection. This requires Run connection status analysis permission. For more information, see Monitoring Application Status. -
Create Ticket - If you have a license for SecureChange, you can create a SecureChange ticket to implement the changes to the connection that you made since the last time you created a SecureChange ticket.
If you do not have a license for SecureChange, you can click View Ticket to see the connections in an access request format. You can then export the ticket contents to a CSV file so that you can forward the access request details to the team responsible for implementing firewall changes.
When exporting to a CSV file, or XSLX file, if a special character ( = - + @ ) appears at the beginning of any field, a single quote (') is automatically added before the character. -
Handle Rejected Tickets - Click
to handle a rejected ticket. -
If you have application interfaces or application packs, publish connections - click
to publish the connections to application pack to make them available for use. If a new connection is added or a connection is deleted, you must republish for the changes to update other applications.
