Configure the Web Application Module

This module lets you quickly add a web application to your dashboard. Doing so lets you further customize your dashboard to view and manage your data in the most efficient manner.

The web application must be IFrame-renderable (Inline Frame). An IFrame is an HTML document that is embedded within another HTML document. The web application address must be in one of the following formats:

• http://www.address text.URL suffix
• https://www.address text.URL suffix

  Note: When you specify the web address, it is not necessary to include http:// and www. The following examples are valid URLs:

  • http://ca.com
  • www.ca.com
  • http://www.ca.com

To add a web application, add the module to your dashboard and follow the prompts.

Examples

• As a security administrator, you want to stay current with your mainframe peers. So, you add the CA Chorus Security Global User Community as a Web Application module in one of your dashboards. Doing so lets you integrate access to this site with your dashboard.
• As a system administrator, you want to stay current with the latest news from CA Technologies. Therefore, you add http://ca.com/support as a Web Application module in one of your dashboards. Each day when you log in to CA Chorus, you check this site for new vulnerability alerts, announcements, and so on.
