Add web applications using the Identity Administration portal

You can add web applications and then configure and deploy them to users in one session. Alternatively, you can add the applications to your the Identity Administration portal Apps page and then configure and deploy them at a later time. The Status column shows the application status—see Application Status. You need to configure an application and deploy it to a role before users can use single-sign-on to access it.

Users can also add web applications (user password applications only) from the user portal. See Manage credentials with Workforce Password Management for more information. You can also disable this feature—see Manage device configuration policies.

You can add web applications using the following methods:

  • From CyberArk Identity App Catalog

  • Using a custom application.

  • Using CyberArk Identity Infinite Apps.

  • Cloning, exporting, and importing.

Add web applications from CyberArk Identity App Catalog

CyberArk Identity App Catalog contains an ever-expanding list of web applications ready for assignment to users. If the web application is not in the catalog, you can open a custom application in the catalog and fill in the details.

  1. Log in to the Identity Administration portal.

  2. Click Apps > Add Web Apps.

    The Add Web Apps window opens.

  3. Use the information on the Search tab to select the application or applications.

    See Use a custom application to add an application using one of the custom applications.

    See Clone, export, and import web applications to add an application from another application that you previously exported.

  4. Select the application or applications.

    Click the Add button to select one or more applications.

    You can continue to select categories and add more applications. You can add up to 30 applications in one session.

    If you change your mind, click Remove.

  5. Click Close.

    If you added just one application, the Identity Administration portal opens the configuration window for that application. If you added more than one application, the Identity Administration portal opens the Apps page. You click the application name to configure it. Click Help for this application for the configuration instructions.

Use a custom application

CyberArk Identity App Catalog includes custom applications that you can add and fill in to add applications. Click the Custom tab to display the list of custom applications. Click the information icon associated with each template for a description.

  1. Open the Identity Administration portal and click the Apps tab.

  2. Click Add Web Apps.

    This opens the Add Web Apps window.

  3. Click the Custom tab.
  4. Click Add for the template you want and click Yes in the confirmation window.

  5. Click Close.

    This closes the Add Web Apps window and opens the configuration window.

  6. Click Help for this application for the configuration instructions.

Clone, export, and import web applications

You can clone an existing application to save yourself time assigning applications that have similar but different configurations. You can also export an application you have already configured in a test environment for example, so that you can import it into your production environment.

When you need multiple instances of an application, each with a slightly different configuration, you can generate a clone and then modify just the properties that differ in the clone. When you create a clone, the copy has “(Cloned)” appended to the application name. Click the clone to modify the fields you need to change (including the application name).

  1. Open the Identity Administration portal and click Apps.

  2. Right click the application and click Clone.

    Alternatively, you can open the application listing on the Apps page, click Actions, and then select Clone.

You can export one or more applications that you have already configured for use in another environment, as a back up, or to send to CyberArk support for assistance. You can select multiple applications for export. the Identity Administration portal creates a zip file you can then import into the other environment to add the applications, or send to CyberArk support.

You cannot unpack the zip file and import individual applications if you export multiple applications.
  1. Log in to the Identity Administration portal and click Web Apps or Mobile Apps.

  2. To export a single application, right click the application and click Export.

    To export multiple applications, select each application and click Export in the Actions menu.

  3. Transfer the zip file to the target environment, or send it to CyberArk support for assistance.

You add applications that you have exported using the zip file created by the Identity Administration portal Export command.

You cannot unpack the zip file and import individual applications if you export multiple applications.
  1. Open the Identity Administration portal and click Apps.
  2. Click the Add App button.
  3. Click the Import button in the Applications Catalog window.

  4. Navigate to the zip file created by the Export command and click Open.

    “(Imported)” is appended to the application name on the Apps page.

  5. (Optional) Click the application to change the name using the Description properties.
