To make an application or site outside of CollabNet
TeamForge available in your project, create a
linked application.
You can create as many linked applications per project as you need.
Tip: Some sites employ page code that disables this feature. For example, some
Google apps automatically generate user login data and append it to their URLs,
which prevents them from opening in an
iFrame.
-
Click PROJECT ADMIN in the project navigation bar.
-
On the Project
Admin
Menu,
click Project Toolbar. Then click
LINKED
APPLICATIONS.
A
list of all currently linked applications in the
project
is displayed.
-
Click
Create.
-
On the Create Linked Application page, enter a name for
the linked application.
This name will appear, with an icon you choose, in the project
navigation bar.
-
Enter the server location or URL for the linked application.
-
If you are a
TeamForge administrator, select whether you
want to use single sign
on
for the linked application.
- By default, only site administrators can edit (turn on/off) single sign
on (SSO) for linked applications. However, you can set the site options
token ONLY_SITE_ADMIN_CAN_EDIT_SINGLE_SIGN_ON to
false to have both site and project administrators
turn SSO on and off. For more information, see ONLY_SITE_ADMIN_CAN_EDIT_SINGLE_SIGN_ON.
- If you use single sign
on,
TeamForge users can automatically
log into the linked application.
- If you do not use single sign
on, users must log into the linked application using
its native authentication system.
-
Click Choose File and select a gif,
.jpg, or .png file to serve as the
new icon for the linked application.
Make the image 25 pixels wide and 20 pixels high.
This icon appears with the application name in the project navigation
bar. However, the linked application icons are displayed in grayscale in the
project navigation bar.
-
Click Save.
A button for the linked application is added to your project navigation bar.
Clicking it launches the application in the main
TeamForge project window.
