Element Description

Create external application in

You can create an external application either in the Application Resources or the Resource Palette.

Note that the Create external application in option is set depending on how you accessed the registration wizard. The default selection is Application Resources if you invoked the wizard from an application, and IDE Connections if you invoked the wizard from the Resource Palette. You can change this option at this point if you want to.

  • Application Resources

    Select to register the external application in the Application Resources. If you select this option, the external application will be available only in the application in which it is registered.

  • IDE Connections

    Select to register the external application in the Resource Palette. If you select this option, the external application will be available to all applications.

Application Name

Enter a name that identifies the external application. This name must be unique within your application.

Application Display Name

Enter a name for the application that end users will see in the credential provisioning screens. If you leave this field blank, the display name is set to the value of the Name field by default. This name also must be unique within your application.

Note that after an external application has been registered, the connection location and the name of the external application cannot be changed. In the Edit External Application wizard, the fields appear grayed out. However, you can modify the Display Name.
