NimbostratusAPM - Provide file at access policy logon page stored on the APM
Hello community,
I have to add a download link (help file; .pdf format) to a custom logon page. I could of course place this file on a web server but I'd like to store the file directly on the A...
I used the following steps to host a file on the APM, then add a link to the file from the Logon Page:
1) Create the desired file.
2) Navigate to "Access Policy ›› Hosted Content : Manage Files"
3) Upload the file with Secure Level: "public"
4) Navigate to "Access Policy ›› Hosted Content : Manage Profile Access", ensure the Access Policy is "checked" then click on [ OK ]
5) Open the Visual Policy Editor (VPE) for the Access Policy and edit the Logon Page action
6) Add a hyperlink similar to the following to the "Form Header Text":
7) Save the update to the Logon Page
8) Apply the Access Policy
9) Test to see if the desired content is displayed/downloaded when clicking the Hyperlink on the Access Policy Logon Page.
Gilles_Archer_3Hi Jason, If I understand correctly, the above steps will publish a file on the APM logon page and allow an unauthenticated user to download that file. What would be the URI of the file if a link needed to be published in an email or corporate website?- Gilles, The "Access Policy >> Hosted Content : Manage Files" page in the Configuration Utility includes a column titled "Publicly Accessible URI". This URI, plus the URL to reach the Access Policy Virtual Server, should enable you to access the file. For example: https://host.domain.com/public/share/file.txt would return the APM Hosted Content, as long as "file.txt" has Secure Level == public, and the file is associated (in "Manage Access") with the Access Policy on the host.domain.com virtual server.
