Embed a Self-Service Link in a Corporate Web Site

To allow access to a public self-service task from a corporate web site, you can add a link to to any web page. When a user clicks the link, an Identity Manager task screen opens. When the user completes the task, he is redirected to the Identity Manager User Console by default.

To change the page to which users are redirected, you can append the task.RedirectURL tag to the Identity Manager URL associated with the link as follows:

<A href="http://domain/idm/public_alias/ca12/index.jsp?task.tag=tasktag&amp;task.RedirectURL=http://domain/redirect_URL">link text</A>

For example, a company may add a link that allows users to reset a forgotten password and then directs them to a welcome page.

The link may resemble the following:

<A href="http://myserver.mycompany.org/idm/Employees/ca12/ index.jsp?task.tag= ForgottenPasswordReset&amp;task.RedirectURL=http://myserver.mycompany.org/ welcome.html">Reset My Password</A>

To return users to the page where they accessed the self-service task, specify RefererURL as the value of the task.RedirectURL tag as follows:

<A href="http://domain/idm/public_alias/ca12/index.jsp?task.tag=tasktag&amp;task.RedirectURL=RefererURL</A>
